Amid uncertainty over his future as Patriots head coach, Bill Belichick said Monday morning he’s still “heavily invested” in the organization.

Belichick met with the media via video conference call on Monday morning and offered in his opening statement that he’s “under contract” with the Patriots and plans to do what he always does.

“Every day I come in, work as hard as I can to help the team in whatever way I can. That’s what I’m going to continue to do. Today was kind of the wrap-up day with the players. We’ll have a meeting with them and then go from there. As far as any decisions or direction or anything like that for next year, it’s way too early for that.”

Belichick said he will meet with owner Robert Kraft but did not disclose when that meeting would be. He said it could even be a series of meetings.

The longtime head coach was asked if he would be willing to relinquish personnel control to stay on as head coach.

“Look, I’m for whatever collectively we decide as an organization is the best thing to help our football team,” Belichick said. “And I have multiple roles in that. And I rely on a lot of people to help me in those responsibilities. Someone has to have the final say. I rely on a lot of other people to help. Whatever that process is, I’m only part of it.”

Belichick would not answer whether he would be open to coaching another team, saying that he wasn’t going to get into “hypothetical situations.” He did answer when asked if it would surprise him if Kraft decided to move in a different direction at head coach.

“I’m going to focus on what I can control and focus on, and that’s my work ethic and my effort to do what I can to help the Patriots organization, which I’m heavily invested in,” Belichick said.

The Patriots finished the 2023 season with a 4-13 record after Sunday’s 17-3 loss to the Jets. It was the first time Belichick and the Patriots had lost to the Jets since the 2015 season.

Hopes were much higher for the Patriots heading into the season, with some even viewing them as a darkhorse playoff team after last year’s 8-9 finish. Matt Patricia and Joe Judge had been replaced by Bill O’Brien as offensive play-caller and quarterbacks coach, and the offense was expected to run much more efficiently after the change.

Instead, quarterback Mac Jones regressed even further and was permanently benched for backup Bailey Zappe in Week 13.

“It was obviously a very disappointing season all the way around,” Belichick said. “Players, coaches, staff, organization, everybody is not anywhere close to what our standard and expectations are. So, obviously, things need to be fixed. Proud of the way the players and the team competed, but not the results, obviously, from any of us — starting with me and all the way down to everybody else that was involved in it. I know we all feel the same way.”

Belichick referred to that message in his opening statement when asked later how the franchise got to this point. They won six Super Bowls and made three more during Belichick’s tenure from 2001 to 2018. They’ve made the playoffs just once since Tom Brady departed in free agency following the 2019 season and haven’t won a postseason game since the 2018 season.

“That’s what I just talked about. We’ll take a look at everything, both the current situation, the current year, and if there’s a trend or whatever we feel like we can do collectively as an organization,” Belichick said. “Again, it’s the same thing we’ve always done, just organizationally figure out where we’re going, what’s our best path to get there and look at the previous results — which obviously this year weren’t very good — and chart a course into the future.”

Belichick certainly sounds like a guy who wants to and plans to keep his current position within the organization. It’s now up to owner Robert Kraft and president Jonathan Kraft whether he’ll get his wish or if the team will move in a different direction with a new head coach.
