maybe two, he's earned itI'd give him another year.

He has earned it but also built a culture that had no issue from moving on from veteran players.maybe two, he's earned it
Strictly from a coaching standpoint, B.B. has enough cache that his job is secure pretty much regardless of what happens. The problem is that he also is the guy who bought the groceries in this case and this appears to be the worst roster N.E. has had in 30-40 years even long before B.B. or T.B. got there. So maybe it becomes a case of the GM needs to go which means the coach as well because they are one and the same. Also, B.B.'s "Patriot way" mantra doesn't fly anymore. It worked when Brady was there because Brady could stand up and take the brunt of the criticism and the players followed Brady. Now it's just a bunch of below average talent from a generation that has never been told anything other than how good they are.
I agree. I doubt Bill would be willing to relinquish his GM duties but Kraft is likely to insist upon it which may drive Belichick out.If the Pats have a terrible year (which looks inevitable), I could see the Pats peeling back most of his power outside of being the Head Coach. I think this may be enough for BB to just retire. Sometimes a demotion is much harder to take than being fired. I feel like BB wouldn't take a demotion well and is plenty old enough to retire. We'll see.
as much as i,ve always despised miami,i think shula was the best ever coach.certainly others to consider,but i put him at number 1.BB's own words.
"He's the greatest coach in the history of professional football, clear and simple. Everything I do today, Paul Brown did. It all started with Paul Brown."

i,m 60 and he,s certainly the best in my lifetime.i hated landry but he was pretty good too.Shula's one of the best ever.
I always had a lot of respect for what Joe Gibbs accomplished as well when I considered what those other guys had for QBs.i,m 60 and he,s certainly the best in my lifetime.i hated landry but he was pretty good too.
lots of folk say ben johnson of detroit is of the same manner gibbs was.i,ll need to see it before i believe it.gibbs was always the best when it comes to getting the best from his qbs around.I always had a lot of respect for what Joe Gibbs accomplished as well when I considered what those other guys had for QBs.
I can't see him retiring till he gets the most win record ( also most loss) and could see him coaching another team. Think Jerrah would love him in DallasIf the Pats have a terrible year (which looks inevitable), I could see the Pats peeling back most of his power outside of being the Head Coach.

That's a good call. He is only like 30 wins away from it. Although Andy Reid isn't far behind him, if I recall correctly, and Andy has a QB that should get him 12+ wins a year for the foreseeable future. So if BB spends the next 3-4 seasons getting the most wins, does Andy jump him in 6-7 seasons from now? Does Bill want to coach till he's 75 or older?I can't see him retiring till he gets the most win record ( also most loss) and could see him coaching another team.

And you know that old bastard would then try to get one more gig coaching another teamTom Landry was fired. Don't see why Little Bill can’t meet the same fate.
And as @sonnyblack65 noted above (as much as it would drive me nuts), Jerry is the one clown who would consider it.And you know that old bastard would then try to get one more gig coaching another team
30 wins with the job Belichick has done to that Pat's roster might be 5 years away.
Yeah he absolutely should be on the hotseat. At the bare minimum they have to bring in a brand new GM from outside the Belichick sphere to oversee roster construction.
