2024 NFL odds: Where will Bill Belichick land next season?

Bill Belichick is done in New England. 

Will he coach again? If the answer is yes, then where? Those are the questions on the minds of … everyone.

Belichick served as head coach of the New England Patriots since 2000, winning six Super Bowls during his tenure. 

However, the Pats put together just one winning season in the four seasons since Tom Brady left the franchise, including a 4-13 campaign this season — and with that, Belichick is on his way out.

DraftKings Sportsbook released odds on Belichick’s next move, and overnight, the odds shifted. Instead of Atlanta have the shortest odds of Belichick’s next destination, now “Not the head coach of any NFL team” is at the top of the board.

Let’s check out the odds.

BILL BELICHICK’S NEXT DESTINATION ODDS: *

Not the head coach of an NFL team: +125 (bet $10 to win $22.50 total)
Atlanta Falcons: +200 (bet $10 to win $30 total)
Any other NFL team: +380 (bet $10 to win $48 total)
Los Angeles Chargers: +750 (bet $10 to win $85 total)

After the Patriots’ Week 18 loss to the Jets, FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer said that the 71-year-old Belichick most likely coached his last game in New England. 

“I don’t think Bill comes back there,” Glazer said. “But now, it’s just a matter of whether they decide to move apart over the next couple of days, or do they hold on and try to trade him? If they try to trade him, that would take a little bit longer. Either way, I think his tenure in New England is over.”

Glazer’s report is now confirmed, and on Thursday, FOX Sports AFC East reporter Henry McKenna took on the task of explaining Belichick’s successful, yet complicated tenure with the Patriots and former quarterback Tom Brady. 

“It’s obvious now that Brady deserves more credit for the team’s success during the dynasty, but that shouldn’t lessen the way Belichick maximized his rosters, both in acquiring the right personnel (as GM) and in deploying those players on the field (as coach). If anything, Brady’s impact shows not that Belichick was unimportant. No, it shows merely that great players, and particularly great quarterbacks, are more valuable than the greatest coaches in the NFL. Brady had more influence than Belichick could ever have hoped to have. And I think that’s true now more than ever — that this is a players’ game — including when Belichick took over in 2000.” 

If Belichick has a desire to continue coaching, there are several franchises that presumably would have to inquire about the man that many consider the best coach in the history of football. 

But as McKenna noted, Belichick will be putting his legacy on the line if he is to take another head coaching job.

“Though Belichick is 71, I believe he’ll coach again, even if he ends up on TV for a year. I believe he wants another Super Bowl to go with the 14 victories he needs to surpass Don Shula and become the NFL’s winningest coach. All he really needs is a few winning seasons to help the NFL world forget about the four when he sunk the Patriots. 

“This next phase will go a long way toward getting rid of all the ifs and buts from his legacy. If Belichick turns around a different franchise, he’ll remove the complications from his legacy. If he sinks another franchise, well, his legacy only gets worse.”
