on Tuesday after he led the team to a 2–3 start to the 2024 season, and many fans quickly jumped to assume who the team will pursue to replace him in the offseason.
Bill Belichick is the option many fans want to see happen. The former coach left the New England Patriots this past offseason after 24 seasons there.
