Has Bill Belichick "earned the right" to join the Patriots at the end of the season?

The New Britain Nationalists lead trainer, who drove the group to six Super Dishes, is enduring an onslaught in the midst of a 2-10 beginning to 2023. The Loyalists are 2-7 out of one-score games and, on Sunday, turned into the primary group starting around 1938 to permit 10 focuses or less in three straight games and lose every one of the three. 

Would Belichick actually be fired in the middle of the regular season by Patriots owner Robert Kraft? Mike Giardi, showing up on NBC Sports Boston's "Arbella Early Release," contended Tuesday for a change to be made. Chris Simms and Mike Florio of NBC Sports debated the same issue on "PFT Live" on Wednesday. 

Both concurred, however, that Belichick has "acquired the right" to complete out this season - - yet for various reasons. "I actually think the Krafts are holding out trust that they'll have the option to get an incentive for Bill Belichick from anything that group winds up needing to utilize him and that he needs to be utilized by," Florio said. " In the event that they really do get humiliated tomorrow evening and you have your small bye with a couple of games left, do you simply allow Jerod Mayo an opportunity to complete the year? I don't have the foggiest idea - - it's practically unbelievable that it would work out." 

There have been eight lead trainer exchanges NFL history - - Wear Shula from Indianapolis to Miami (1970), Bill Parcells from New Britain to the Planes (1997), Mike Holmgren from Green Inlet to Seattle (1999), Belichick from the Planes to New Britain (2000), Jon Gruden from Oakland to Tampa Cove (2002), Herm Edwards from the Planes to Kansas City (2006), Bruce Arians from Arizona to Tampa Straight (2019) and Sean Payton from New Orleans to Denver (2023). 

Belichick, as referenced, came to the Nationalists in an exchange with the Planes for a first-round pick. Florio is anticipating that the Krafts should seek after a comparable arrangement to send him away after this season, however left open the likelihood that Belichick could be terminated on the off chance that Thursday night's down goes inadequately. Continuing on from Belichick this week would give the interval mentor, probably Mayo, additional opportunity to plan for Week 15. 

Simms, then again, can't imagine a situation where Belichick is terminated mid-season. "He's acquired the option to allow him to complete it out," Simms said. " To fire him at this moment, it doesn't benefit Jerod Mayo. On the off chance that you believe that [Mayo] should be the person who assumes control over, he will assume control over this dumpster fire at the present time and not look great, as well. Then, everyone will say, "Well, you weren't much better with him at the end of the year" if you make him the permanent head coach. I don't feel that is a recipe for progress to do that. "He is the best lead trainer ever. He is the explanation that we consider the New Britain Loyalists the way that we do. Therefore, you let him finish it." 

The Patriots will play the Steelers on Thursday in Pittsburgh before playing the Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos, Buffalo Bills, and New York Jets to end the season. It remains to be seen whether Belichick will continue to lead the team for those games.
