Patriots and BElichick being done has been a rumor since the beginning of the season when they announced their "Extension," but nobody will know till it's gonna happen.
The timing of this article, which could just be made up, might also line up with the Chargers firing Staley after this THursday assuming he loses. There's all sorts of rumors of Bill going to Washington or Chicago for the history of it, but I think he wants to make his own history and break Shula's record and the best chance for that is a team with an already good QB, even if they suck.
In other PAtriots news, this explanation by Pat McAfee on what I thought was a BS call on the Steeler's false start on that punt is very interesting:

The long snapper making sudden head movements before snapping the ball *is* a false start, I didn't know that, and BElichick or Judge was tuned into it, told the defense to jump the snap as soon as he moved his head, and they had brought it up int he rule book before the game to the refs. This is similar to the blocked FG or punt by the PAtriots that McAfee broke down in whatever game the Patriots won earlier, I think against Buffalo or something, where they look for this twitch/body language by the holder and then time their rush to that. McAfee said in that video that belichick's special teams are obsessed with finding tells on tape especially on special teams.
I thought that false start was a wacko bailout, but this explanation makes sense. I was also rooting for a loss.
