While the legendary coach helped lead New England to six Super Bowls during the Tom Brady dynasty, things have not clicked in the post-TB12 era.The Patriots enter Week 18 tied for the second-worst record in the league at 4-12. It has been anything but smooth sailing since the Brady departure, and this year marks a low point in Belichick's coaching career.However, when it comes to his job security, it's completely up in the air. There have been conflicting reports for months about Belichick potentially being shown the door by Robert Kraft.The latest from is that while it' Levi Lewis Jersey s "highly unlikely" the Pats straight-up fire Belichick, there could be changes. Either the two sides may agree to mutually part ways and New England works out a trade elsewhere for Belichick, or the Pats bring in someone to take over his general manager duties, allowing him to focus more on coaching.Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio shared some insight on the situation before "Sunday Night Football," explaining that there is a sense Belichick is "too resistant to change" and citing the decision to make Matt Patricia his offensive play-caller in 2022 as the beginning of the end for the six-time champion. Florio added that a trade, however, is "highly unlikely."If New England does elect to go in a different direction, there will no doubt be plenty of suitors lining up for Belichick's services, including the Ron Rivera, CommandersA Ron Rivera firing seems all but guaranteed. His tone in the lead-up to Week 18 was one of reflection, as he discu sed his time with Washington and the team."Well, I'd like to think we're in a better place, probably a fair way to say it," Rivera . "I most certainly do appreciate my time here, and we'll see what happens. And again, we'll focus in on what's coming first on Sunday, and that's getting ready for Dallas."It's been a tumultuous four seasons with the Commanders under Rivera, but ultimately, the team drastically underperformed in 2023, entering Week 18 at 4-12. With a new owner at the helm looking to go in a different direction, Cortez Kennedy Jersey the writing has been on the wall for Rivera."What we've done with the culture," Rivera said when asked what he's most proud of during his time with Washington. "I think that was one of the things that somebody asked me the same question, I said, the biggest thing more so than anything else I think is I kind of like where we are. Obviously, it's not where we want to be, but that's just the nature of this game sometimes."The new ownership group, led by Josh Harris, is expected to make major changes this summer, including creating a separation between head coach and general manager. Offensive coordinator Eric Biennemy seems like the logical replacement for Rivera.Arthur Smith, FalconsIt's never a good thing when the owner of the team comes out publicly and says that a coach's future with the club will be evaluated at the end of the season. That's the case in Atlanta with Arthur Smith.NFL Network's Mike Garofalo said earlier this week that he believes Smith "is on the shakiest of grounds." This comes after rumors were swirling once Falcons owner Arthur Blank stated that the head coach's status would be taken into consideration at the conclusion of the 2023 campaign.Smith has been criticized for his usage of certain offensive personnel, including 2023 first-round pick Bijan Robinson, as well as his constant rotation at quarterback between Desmond Ridder and Taylor Heinicke.There is a chance Smith pulls out some magic to save his job. The Falcons still have a shot at winning the NFC South, and a playoff berth certainly would bode well for Smith's job security. However, a Week 18 lo s would undoubtedly put his employment in jeopardy.Mike Vrabel, TitansThere hasn't been a ton of buzz surrounding Mike Vrabel's job in Tenne see, but he is a name to watch as the Titans' season comes to a close.Tenne see enters the final week of the regular season at 5-11, set to mi s the playoffs for the second consecutive year, and third time in Vrabel's six-year tenure with the organization. While Vrabel earned Coach of the Year in 2021, the team's production has deteriorated over the last two years.Vrabel's run-heavy scheme worked well with Derrick Henry in his prime, but the 30-year-old running back isn't getting any younger, and the Titans have floundered as a result.Ahead of Week 18, Vrabel was asked if he did want to come back for another year with the Titans, which he answered unsurprisingly, "Of course.""Be here as long as we can win, as long as we can do this thing, and it's been great. But it also has been just this year," . "And nobody wants to be where we're at."While Vrabel may be committed to Tenne see, it's easy to see why there is speculation he could leave. If a head coaching job opens up in New England, Vrabel, a former Patriot, would be a logical candidate for the vacancy.
