Thusly, as Garafolo noted, it’s more likely Belichick will spend the 2024 season as an analyst than as a head coach, which would mark the first season this century in which Belichick will not be a head coach.
Belichick’s first head coaching stint came with the Cleveland Browns from 1991-1995. Thereafter, he was the New York Jets’ defensive coordinator from 1997-1999, and though he initially accepted the Gang Green head coaching gig, he never coached a game for the Jets. Instead, he took the reins of the Patriots in 2000, beginning the most successful coaching run in NFL chronicle, one in which New England advanced to nine Super Bowls and won six Lombardi Trophies.
That run ended officially on Jan. 11, when Belichick bid farewell to New England, and a new run with a new franchise is not expected to start in the 2024 season.
