Bill Belichick has spent a lot of time talking into a microphone about football this season, but he has his sights set higher for next year.  According to The Athletic, Belichick wants to return to coaching in 2025.

One year away from an NFL coaching staff seems as if it’ll be enough for Bill Belichick. With two coaches already fired and a third possibly on the way after the Jaguars’ latest loss Sunday, Belichick still reportedly wants to coach during the 2025 season,

The Patriots and their former longtime coach and general manager agreed to part ways after the 2023 season. Since, Belichick has worked in media, appearing on seemingly every network and podcast as he tries to stay top-of-mind with the goal of working a whistle — not a microphone — next season. So the 72-year-old is staying ready.
