After a report from Ben Volin of The Boston Globe stated that Bill Belichick’s friends are “afraid” that he’s on the hot seat, Tom E. Curran of NBC Sports Boston said that Belichick has been on the hot seat for years.
“You talk about avoiding the hot seat?” Curran said on the Rich Eisen Show Monday. “Rich, he’s on the hot seat and he’s been there at different levels of warmth since 2019.”
2019, of course, was Tom Brady’s final season as a New England Patriot. It was also the last time the Patriots won more than 10 games in a season.
