Guessing when Bill Belichick or Tom Brady will retire seems pretty futile, considering how many times the pundits already have been wrong. But there at least appears to be some sort of plan in place for the Patriots head coach’s future end in New England.
In an exchange that has the sports world buzzing, Patriots owner Robert Kraft offered a pretty revealing quote to The Washington Post’s Mark Maske about how much longer Belichick will coach the team.
“As long as he wants,” Patriots owner Robert Kraft said this week.
And how much longer will he want?
“We have a pact that we don’t talk about that,” Kraft said. “He knows and I know. But he won’t be done this year.”
So it appears there’s no need to worry about the 64-year-old coach walking off into the sunset if his team beats the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI, but there is an eventual end date known by the New England brass.
