Tedy Bruschi has rarely been one to criticize the Patriots organization over the years, especially as it pertains to his former head coach in Bill Belichick.
That loyalty to the only NFL team for whom he suited up is probably why the former linebacker’s comments regarding the state of the Patriots earlier this week created plenty of headlines.
Even before New England dropped to 1-5 following a road loss to the Raiders at Allegiant Stadium, Bruschi shared on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown that he thinks Belichick should retire after the 2023 season — rather than continue to chase Don Shula’s record for the most head-coaching wins in NFL history.
