After being fired by the Patriots on January 11, 2024, Belichick is currently unemployed, and his son poked his father about it. At the same time, Stephen remembered to praise his father for his guidance in his career.
Stephen added, “But yeah, I look up to my dad. He’s a mentor to me, but I am myself. Excited to get out on the field and work with these kids and recruit kids.” Listening to Stephen’s words, fans and netizens shared funny reactions on social media.
What will Bill Belichick do next?
It has been more than two months since the six-time NFL champions fired Belichick. After losing his job, the Atlanta Falcons showed interest in signing him as their new boss, but he received no offer on their behalf.
Only now has the coach taken a year off from coaching duties without any suitable offer. Reports claim the manager might accept a gig to serve as a TV analyst for the current year.
Belichick is already 71 years old, and if he takes a break from coaching this year, he will turn 73 before the beginning of the 2025-26 season. Hence, the franchises are looking for young coaches at present. For Belichick, finding another job in the NFL will be a challenge.
