Capping a week in which legendary football coaches Pete Carroll and Nick Saban announced their tearful departures from the sidelines, the greatest of all time in the NFL acknowledged that he, too, would be leaving the franchise he led to six Super Bowl titles.

Bill Belichick’s press conference “parting ways” with the Patriots, alongside owner Robert Kraft, didn’t hold as much finality as it did for his fellow coaching legends, however.

Immediately, the speculation swirled about the 71-year-old Belichick’s next coaching destination, and there certainly are some juicy possibilities to consider between NFL teams that already have coaching vacancies — and, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, at least one nebulous “mystery team” that has yet to make a change (yes, the classic Scott Boras approach to MLB free agency!).

Obviously, the Giants and Jets qualify under that heading, and both playoff-missing teams have long-ago histories with the man who ranks third — behind Don Shula and George Halas — on the league’s all-time list with 302 regular-season wins.
