Bill Belichick Confirms He’ll Coach Patriots in 2013

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick told media Monday he expects to return to the team in 2013.

One day after a crushing defeat in the AFC Championship Game, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was asked - after 37 years of NFL coaching experience – if he is energized to coach another season. “Yeah, I’ll be here,” Belichick said. “You’ll have to deal with me again next year.
