Bill Belichick’s days with the New England Patriots might be numbered.
With reports swirling that the legend may no longer coach the Patriots after this season, everyone is understandably trying to pick up the pieces. Belichick is, after all, arguably the greatest coach in NFL history. And as our Christian D’Andre wrote, letting Belichick go now would be a classic Belichick personnel move.
But during Wednesday’s Patriots press conference, gathered reporters still wanted answers. They tried to press Belichick about what he knew about his future in New England. Instead, they got a vintage Belichick answer.
We should start appreciating Belichick’s answers in this vein because they might be some of the last:
Is "We're getting ready for Kansas City" the new "We're on to Cincinnati?"🤔 pic.twitter.com/xyIox3flrH

Belichick has spent nearly 24 years manning the Patriots sideline. Even as his tenure seems to finally be winding down, he’s sticking to the script. That is a tremendous commitment to the bit and to his players and coaches.
This was how Twitter reacted to Belichick's classic response about his Patriots future
Is this the new, "#WereOnToCincinnati"? #patriots #foreverne https://t.co/n6CkUZn0Fe

Someone needs to splice all the videos like these with all the videos of him talking about Lawrence Taylor, Ed Reed or 1960's Navy Football. The contrast is stunning. https://t.co/CNH5GA33aM

"I'm getting ready for Kansas City."
Three questions to Bill Belichick about his future.

"On To Cincinnati" & "Getting Ready For Kansas City" will be engraved on Belichick's tombstone.
Kraft firing Belichick probably won't solve New England's woes anytime soon. They have to rebuild the entire team and that takes time. https://t.co/XUXcM2Mj84
