Trouble in Paradise? Could the Patriots fire Bill Belichick?

Even with 6 Super Bowl trophies delivered by Belichick having full control over the football operations, there's a shelf life for every one.

It sounds like there is trouble in New England. According to a report by Mike Florio of NBC Sports’ Pro Football Talk, there’s currently some ever-growing tension between both parties.

Meeting with reporters at the league meetings in Arizona, Kraft was asked a simple question:

You guys have posted a losing record two of the last three seasons, if that happens again, could Bill [Belichick’s] job be in jeopardy, or is he here to break Don Shula’s all-time wins record and beyond?

“Look, I’d like him to break Don Shula’s record,” Kraft replied, “but I’m not looking for any our players to get great stats. We’re about winning and doing whatever we can to win. And that’s what our focus is now. And I — it’s very important to me that we make the playoffs, and that’s what I hope happens next year.”

Could Mac Jones end up being the demise of Bill Belichick? Kraft has already made it known that he doesn’t want the losses to go on any further, hinting at making changes and that not even the legendary Head Coach could be in the clear if they have another losing season.

Bill Belichick is a few games away from becoming the NFL’s all-time winningest coach, could you imagine if he cannot accomplish that with the Patriots?
