The name every NFL fan has their eyes on during Sunday’s Week 18 games is New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick.
Heading into Sunday’s matchup vs. the New York Jets, the Patriots have only won four games, which is the lowest in Belichick’s career in New England. Many fans and NFL insiders think that Belichick’s time with the Patriots could be done, including Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer.
“I don’t think Bill comes back there,” Glazer said on Sunday. “But now it’s just a matter of, do they fire him, or decide to move apart, in the next couple days, or do they try and hold on and trade for him, then that’s going to take a little bit longer. Either way, I think his tenure in New England’s over.”
There could be a lot of changes around the league coming soon. Let's check in with @JayGlazer's Coaching Carousel about those possible changes

Former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski added that he won’t believe Belichick’s gone “until I see it.”
Regardless of Sunday’s game and its impact on Belichick moving forward, only time will tell what the organization decides and how long it takes to reach a conclusion.
