Assuming that Belichick's extension started after the 2007 season, or more easily understood--2008, he is basically only 1/2 way through the extension.
(extended in 2007) 08, 09, 10
(still has) 11, 12, 13
I think we can probably expect another extension (at least as of today's viewpoint), somewhere in the next 2 yrs. That could all change of course, but when you look at his draft/personnel moves, his tendency to look towards the future cannot be viewed as a 'bad' thing in that regard.
I'm thinking that he will go a little bit past the age of Parcells (64), and I would like to think that he could even consider coaching almost another 8-10 yrs.
It may be just my opinion, but I think that Belichick is more 'football oriented' as a whole, when compared to the great Parcells. In other words, I think that the game means more to Belichick, and it keeps him going more than in BP's case. Of course IIRC, Parcells also had some health issues to deal with too, and may have felt that the stress was not worth the risk. To me, Belichick seems like a harder-nosed guy in that regard, almost closer to the **** LeBeau, Joe Paterno end of the spectrum. I'm thinking another 8-10 yrs if I had to guess, but it could be more coinciding with the end of Brady's career too. I guess it's pointless to try and put a guesstimate on it, considering that BB is the only one who has any idea whatsoever.
