- To eclipse Don Shula as the winningest NFL coach of all-time. Including post-season, Shula has 347 career victories. Belichick has 333. You can bet that Belichick knows the numbers and wants that record.
- To prove that he can win without Tom Brady. The post-Brady years in New England have not been kind to Belichick. Brady won a Super Bowl with the Bucs in 2020. Belichick’s teams have gone 29-38 with three losing seasons and one playoff loss in four Brady-less seasons. The narrative has been Brady proved he could win without Belichick, but Belichick has not proven he can win without Brady. If he is going to continue to coach, changing that narrative has to be part of why.
