It’s becoming clear that Bill Belichick is returning to the coaching sidelines in 2025 and he might have a job in mind.
According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, there’s a “growing belief” that Belichick will take the Jacksonville Jaguars head coaching job when it becomes available. Doug Pederson is on the hot seat and could get fired following the Jags embarrassing 52-6 loss to the Detroit Lions.
“Before the season started, team owner Shad Khan said, ‘This is the best team the Jaguars have ever assembled. Let’s prove it by winning now.’ So here we are — 2-9, worst loss today in franchise history. Bye week coming up. Doug Pederson was asked after the game about the possibility of being fired. He said, ‘If it’s gonna happen, it’s gonna happen.’ And it could happen soon,” Mike Florio said.
Belichick and Baalke worked together in the past, with the New York Jets under head coach Bill Parcells.
