Amid one of the worst seasons of his future Hall of Fame coaching career, Bill Belichick’s future with the New England Patriots has been brought into question. Could Belichick, who won six Super Bowl titles and helped create an everlasting dynasty in league history, be fired by the franchise? 

Well, NFL Network learned that isn’t on the table despite the team’s 1-5 start. 

Belichick and the Patriots reportedly agreed to a "lucrative," multi-year extension during the offseason that will keep him as the team’s head coach for years to come.

"His contract [is] one of the most closely held secrets in New England," NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said on "NFL GameDay Morning." "That said, I think it’s fair to say there was some, at least, uncertainty or intrigue surround him. Now, contractually, he is locked up long-term."

It’s not clear what Belichick’s contract extension is, or when his previous contract was set to expire.
