LeGarrette Blount Gives Ex-Patriots View Of Bill Belichick Rumors

Bill Belichick, the head coach of the New England Patriots, has been the center of numerous rumors this season, but not everyone is quick to believe the pundits.

One such person is former Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount.

Blount recently shared his thoughts on the rumors surrounding Belichick during an appearance on NESN’s “Ultimate Betting Show.” Specifically, he addressed the speculation about New England potentially parting ways with its long-time head coach.

“I don’t see Bill going anywhere,” Blount stated to NESN’s Claudia Bellofatto. “I maybe see him taking a little bit less responsibility, as far as the (general manager) role or maybe someone that makes the contract decisions or the money decisions. I think maybe they’ll take him out of that role a little bit in order for you to be able to contend in these games — big-time games.”

“I think they take more responsibility away from him and put him in a position (where) he only has to worry about the team and coaching. I don’t think they move away from Bill. I just don’t see that happening.”

You can catch Blount’s full appearance on the “Ultimate Betting Show” on Friday night at 5 p.m. ET on NESN or with NESN 360.
