Following the disappointing campaigns in the years without Tom Brady, Bill Belichick has failed to deliver a single Super Bowl without the best QB ever at the helm. Although it does not take anything away from the resumes of one of the best coaches ever. Belichick has managed to inch ever so close to breaking one of the biggest records.

But before he can take the top spot and claim it as his own, another achievement awaits him, one which could be a new low in the glittering career of the legendary coach. If and when he reaches the mark, it would act as one of the very few blights to his impeccable records and titles.

Bill Belichick is just 18 wins away from breaking Don Shula’s record for all-time wins in the NFL. Belichick sits second in the all-time list with 329 wins behind Shula who is at 347.

The New England Patriots HC is currently bolstering a mark of 165 losses to his name, but the number falls down a bit when considering the regular season, at 152. However, the distance between him and the top spot in the losses remains the same at 13. He could make an unwanted history before clinching the record most coveted by any coach in the NFL.

Bill Belichick sits fifth in the list of all-time losses but it could be quite different by the time this year ends, regardless of when the NFL season is set to finish. But if reports are to be believed, Bill Belichick may not have much time to his name to lead the Patriots for much longer. Robert Kraft could potentially be considering his options for an alternative path for the Patriots, without Bill Belichick.

On one of the latest iterations of First things first, Chris Broussard was discussing the future of the Patriots. Kraft may be looking to part ways with the 8x Super Bowl winner after he breaks the record set by Don Shula. Broussard said, “You sit down with Bill you start planning an exit….  Bill I want you to break down Shula’s record in our uniform.”

Broussard also adds that Kraft would not want to fire Belichick, instead find an amicable solution to part ways. “we would like you to retire, not we don’t want to fire you,” says Chris Broussard on the show. Many might agree with the thoughts shared by Broussard, as Belichick is already north of 70.
