The legitimacy of the Patriots' accomplishments under Bill Belichick might be in question these days, but the coach's future in New England should not be. Belichick will be the Patriots' head coach for the foreseeable future after agreeing to a long-term extension. Belichick and Patriots ownership recently agreed to a long-term contract extension. The pact will keep Belichick on New England's sideline through at least the 2013 season, according to league sources and sources close to the coach. The deal was agreed to before the recent "spying" scandal in which the Patriots were punished by the NFL. It's unclear how many years Belichick had remaining on his previous deal, as he and ownership like to keep details of the coach's contract private.
