Does Bill Belichick have 10 more years of coaching left in the tank?
“Just trying to win a game,” Belichick told “FOX NFL Sunday” analyst Jimmy Johnson in a brief segment that aired leading up to the Patriots-Vikings game.
Over halfway through his 19th year coaching in New England, Belichick said what spurs the desire to prolong his career is nothing more than genuine love for the sport and the profession. The 66-year-old wouldn’t hint at a potential retirement age, as his focus remains solely on the season at hand.
Belichick said the Patriots’ 8-3 record “could be better” and “could be worse,” though he placed greater emphasis on the games to come.
