Belichick joined his players in the locker room for a huddle ultimately broken down by longtime special teams ace Matthew Slater. He showered and changed from his ski mask and parka, the latter\u2019s hood rapidly accumulating snow.

Belichick, toes squarely atop the yellow sideline paint, lifted his hands and stretched his striped gray beanie atop his head. He fastened his headset atop the beanie, the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> reprising his command center.

The overriding sentiment around Foxborough is no, but everyone willing to hint that quickly qualifies their comment. Team staff couch approximations he\u2019ll leave with the caveat that they and their colleagues really don\u2019t know what Kraft intends. They don\u2019t know, for sure, whether <em>Kraft<\/em> knows what he intends.<\/p>\n<p>A mutual parting of ways? A termination? A resignation? A trade? Could Belichick \u2026 stay? And if so, is he signing on to coach, manage personnel or both in Year 25?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI enjoy coaching,\u201d Belichick said when asked whether a season buried in injuries and losses dimmed his passion. \u201cI like coaching the team. I like preparing the team, game planning, coaching on Sundays. But the results weren\u2019t good. And none of us are happy with those.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A paid attendance of 64,628 nonetheless invested in Sunday\u2019s sludgefest, the fans almost certainly not drawn by the promise of high-caliber football.<\/p>\n<p>Two sub-.500, playoff-ineligible division teams facing off with limited visibility in below-freezing weather? Sure, Jets fans could celebrate finally snapping the Patriots\u2019 15-game winning streak in their AFC East <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a>. But at least some understood that the marquee event didn\u2019t hinge on completions and third-down conversions. It centered on the septuagenarian in the beanie and headset.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIN BILL WE TRUST,\u201d read one fan\u2019s sign from the front row near the 50-yard line, behind the Patriots\u2019 bench. Two rows up, a white poster featured alternating red-and-blue letters that spelled: \u201cDon\u2019t Stop BILLieving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those two homemade signs, however, were arguably the most visible fanfare for what could be the end of an era. On a snowy day that eventually masked even those signs, the franchise organized no formal tip of the cap to the coach who ran its dynasty. And the Patriots showed they <em>can <\/em>honor a staple when they want to: Players and Kraft alike sported sweatshirts in tribute to Slater, a 10-time Pro Bowler whose expected pending retirement was the most visible sendoff.<\/p>\n<p>Belichick, as is his style, proceeded with business as usual.<\/p>\n<p>He declined to confirm if he expects to be coaching the Patriots next season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just finished the game here with the Jets,\u201d he said when asked. \u201cIt was a very \u2014 I put everything I had into it this week and tried to prepare our team the best I could to play in it.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Patriots_players_sort_through_mystery_of_Belichicks_future\"><\/span>Patriots players sort through mystery of Belichick\u2019s future<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Belichick is widely expected to continue coaching in 2024.

Players tried more to imagine a world without Belichick as the head coach in New England.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, it just would be very surprising to me,\u201d running back Ezekiel Elliott told Yahoo Sports. \u201cIt would be surprising if it was [his end here], just because on defense, we were good all year. Talk about how many injuries we had.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou lose a lot of your top defensive players, but for them to continue to play at a high level when we struggled all year, I think it just shows how good that defensive unit is, how disciplined they were, how well they played. I mean when you lose your top three, four guys, you expect things to fall apart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve had a lot of injuries on the offensive line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elliott knows acutely that the NFL is a business, the Dallas Cowboys releasing him last offseason after a 12-touchdown year. Still, to imagine Belichick changing colors?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI couldn\u2019t see him anywhere else,\u201d Elliott said. \u201cI\u2019m sure it would be weird. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s in store but I love playing for Bill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Belichick, per his message to the locker room, loved the players who played for him. Players emphasized Sunday night that while he didn\u2019t show more emotions than usual, they also believe he\u2019s more emotional \u2014 or more personal, to be precise \u2014 than his public reputation reveals.<\/p>\n<p>Coach didn\u2019t criticize players after Sunday\u2019s loss. He emphasized learning and growth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe appreciated us fighting and continuing to fight throughout the season,\u201d safety Kyle Dugger told Yahoo Sports. \u201c[To] just learn and continue to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As of late Sunday night, Belichick was scheduled to address reporters at 7:30 a.m. ET Monday and then hold a final team meeting for the season at 9 a.m. Players will clean out their locker room and perhaps sit through additional exit interviews. At some point, be it Monday or soon after, Belichick will sit down with Kraft \u2014 the two men anchoring a decision that could rock the league.<\/p>\n<p>Belichick declined to say whether he expects to coach the Patriots next season and declined to say whether he felt different in the postgame haste.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond opening remarks, Belichick kept his word: He offered little about his future. He offered little, even, about how he felt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDisappointed about the way the game turned out, sure,\u201d Belichick said.<\/p>\n<p>After a pause, he added: \u201cYeah, let\u2019s leave it at that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
