Belichick’s career record as a head coach is 333-177.
Belichick is also the NFL record holder for most playoff wins as a head coach (31), most playoff appearances as a head coach (19 tied), and most divisional championships as a head coach (17).
Whether Belichick has a desire to continue his coaching career remains to be seen, but he is just 15 wins shy of breaking Don Shula’s NFL record of 347 wins as a head coach.
As for the Patriots, it is believed that inside linebackers coach Jerod Mayo is believed to be a leading candidate for the job. Mayo, the team’s 2008 No. 10 overall pick, played for the Patriots from 2008-2015.
Another name to watch in New England will be former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel, who was part of three of the Patriots’ Super Bowl-winning teams.
