One of the great mysteries in the NFL today is when the head coach of the New England Patriots, Bill Belichick, will retire.
Belichick is getting ready to coach his seventh Super Bowl with the Patriots Sunday, in his seventeenth year with the team. He is currently the longest tenured active head coach in the NFL, and 146 different head coaches have been hired by the other 31 NFL teams since he was hired in January of 2000.
Belichick has been on record as saying that coaching “beats working” and that while he loves what he does, he doesn’t envision himself coaching into his seventies like the great Marv Levy did with the Buffalo Bills in the 1990’s.
