Patriots coach Bill Belichick is 'on the hot seat' after missing the playoffs in 2022 as owner Robert Kraft 'grows impatient over teams struggles since Tom Brady's 2020 departure'

Is Bill Belichick on the hot seat?

The most successful NFL coach of the Super Bowl era is fighting for his job in Foxborough, according to a pair of New England Patriots reporters.

Tom Curran, NBC Sports Boston's Patriots insider, told 'The Rich Eisen Show' on Monday that Belichick was indeed coaching for his job this season.

'You talk about avoiding the hot seat. Rich: he's on the hot seat, and he's been there at different levels of warmth since 2019,' Curran said, dating Belichick's problems back to Tom Brady's final season in New England.
