Could Las Vegas Be Bill Belichick’s Next Stop?

Bill Belichick, the longtime coach of the New England Patriots, is parting ways with the team, according to reports. The news, which was first reported by ESPN's Mike Reiss (below) indicates the end of a remarkable 24-year tenure with the Patriots. During that time, Bill led the team to an impressive six Super Bowl championships. They made it to the championship game on three other occasions, working alongside legendary quarterback Tom Brady. Belichick leaves behind a legacy that includes a 266-121 regular season record and a 30-12 postseason record.

If you're a sports fan, you know that Bill isn't too far from breaking a pretty significant record. Don Shula's record for career wins. This season didn't help Bill too much. The Pats finished fourth in their division with a record of four wins and 13 losses. Needless to say, it's a season Bill will most likely want to forget. But it also put Belichick just 26 wins shy of Don Shula's record, which is 328, states ESPN.com.

In Belichick's final press conference of the season, he mentioned that he was still under contract. He also stated that he'll be committed to working hard to support his team. However, with the recent news, it looks like that commitment will have to be with a different team. That is, if Bill decides he wants to continue coaching.

As expected, there are quite a few teams reportedly interested in Belichick's services, including our hometown Las Vegas Raiders. According to Gridironheroics.com, other teams that are reportedly interested are the Washington Commanders, Los Angeles Chargers, Atlanta Falcons, and the Carolina Panthers.

Love him or hate him, there's no denying that Bill Belichick has had one of the greatest coaching careers in the entire history of the NFL. So, the possibility of Bill continuing that history career in Las Vegas is absolutely exciting.

We can talk about the best quarterbacks or coaches or running backs in the NFL until we're blue in the face. But, what makes the game really exciting to watch are the personalities behind those players and staffers. Of course, having a fun personality isn't all there is in the NFL. We love watching these guys go at it on the field and witnessing their athleticism. We also love seeing expert coaches leading their teams to victories. But, having a really cool, larger-than-life personality certainly helps. So, what players have the best personalities in the NFL right now?

Before we get to our current list, let's look at some of the most best personalities in the NFL of all time. Bleacherreport.com has a listicle out of the players with the most colorful personalities of all time. Topping that list is Terrell Owens. "Love him or hate him, T.O. has the most colorful personality," they state in the article. "Over his career, he's shown all the qualities: arrogance/confidence, drama (all of 2005 in Philadelphia), excitement, unpredictably, crying (that Tony Romo press conference) and humor." That's a good call. Coming in at No. 2 is the legendary Joe Namath. "Who else could get away with wearing sunglasses on the sideline?" they exclaim. "With the long hair, the occasional Fu Manchu and the playboy attitude, he was the most compelling figure in sports during the late 1960s and early 1970s."

So, what about right now? I looked at the current season and picked a range of roles, from quarterback to coach to tight end. These guys have stood out this season for either their larger-than-life personalities or situations. Also, we discuss the current NFL in the latest episode of my podcast, "The Squad with Anne Erickson," which you can listen to below. Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.

Patrick Mahomes, of course, is the star quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs. He's considered the best quarterback of his era and possibly the next Tom Brady. But, aside from his skills, he also has a big personality. He has more than 6 million Instagram followers, and he posts a bunch of stuff up there, from football material to family photos.

Travis Kelce, the celebrated tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is pretty much the most famous guy in football this season. Yes, it's because of his relationship with Taylor Swift. I hate to make that a reason to have him named one of the best personalities in the NFL, but heck, even without the Taylor factor, Kelce has a huge personality that people love.

All eyes are on Dan Campbell this season, as the Lions all pulling off some incredible things. That's not common for the Detroit Lions, either. But, Campbell has some of the wackiest ideas and quotes, and that makes him loveable. Remember that time he wanted a pet Lion at practices? I love this dude.

Bill Belichick needs no introduction, but we'll introduce him anyway. He's the head coach and general manager of the New England Patriots. He's had some rough years as of late, but nothing can take away his glimmering record. Belichick just tells it like it is. He's incredible with strategies, and that really stands out with his coaching.

Jalen Hurts, the star quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, is something of a hero on the field. But, off the field, he's known for his deep, insightful comments that show he has wisdom beyond his years. He's a major contender and personality.
