New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick turns 70 on Saturday, which is the point when he once thought he'd say goodbye to coaching.
In the NFL Films-produced "A Football Life" feature more than a decade ago, Belichick famously said: "I don't want to be like Marv Levy and coaching when I'm in my 70s."
But since that time, he has slowly showed signs of softening his stance.
"When I said it, maybe I didn't know what 70 felt like," Belichick acknowledged in a 2019 radio interview.
Now that he's about to hit the number, Belichick leaves no doubt.
