PHOENIX — Bill Belichick, who hasn’t fielded questions from the media since his season-ending presser in January, will be on the hot seat early Monday morning with the AFC coaches breakfast on tap at the Arizona Biltmore.

As always, there will be plenty to ask the Patriots head coach at this annual gathering during the league meetings. A lot has happened in the two months since the Patriots season ended with an 8-9 record and third place finish in the AFC East.

For starters, Belichick hired Bill O’Brien to be his offensive coordinator, and Adrian Klemm to coach the offensive line, presumably to clean up the mess left from last season.

So Matt Patricia was canned as the play caller and offensive line coach, and no longer appears to be with the team. However, Joe Judge, last year’s quarterbacks coach, remains as an assistant head coach.

Belichick has also made some moves in free agency, most notably adding JuJu Smith-Schuster, Mike Gesicki and James Robinson on the offensive side of the ball.

Needless to say, there will be plenty to ask Belichick while he sips on a glass of orange juice. Whether he directly answers any of those questions is another matter.

But here’s a small sampling of questions that will likely be asked:

It sure seemed like Belichick might have been the only one who didn’t see this as a disaster in the making. His experiment with Patricia and Judge running the offense seemed doomed from the start, but Belichick insisted good coaches could coach any phase no matter if they had any experience in that phase or not.

Maybe that works with some coaches, just not Patricia and Judge. And was O’Brien brought in because Patriots owner Robert Kraft called for a change, or because Belichick saw the error of his ways?

The fact that Judge remains, in what could be perceived as a promotion, seems ludicrous. Perhaps Judge is on the staff because the Giants are still paying him and Patricia’s out because the Lions are no longer paying him. At least, that’s how it looks.

From gushing about Jones prior to the early camps last year, to basically not acknowledging him as his starter late on, Belichick did a complete 180 when it came to talking about his quarterback.

So what happened?

Did Jones taking some not-so-subtle shots at Belichick’s handpicked coaches and close buddies prompt the Patriots head coach to change his tune? Because Belichick’s remarks were measured, and lukewarm at best about the quarterback as the season wore on.

So it would be interesting to find out if he’s still peeved at Jones and all of his pouting and whining last year, or if it was just some motivational button-pushing ploy? And does Belichick feel Mac’s still the guy to lead the team to a championship going forward?

It’s debatable how much better the Patriots are with Smith-Schuster as opposed to Meyers. That latter was the team’s leading receiver the past three years, and Jones’ go-to-guy on third down.

While Meyers isn’t an explosive receiver, he was dependable, especially when the team needed a play. So why dump Mac’s binkie for a receiver who has to find that chemistry and trust with Jones, not to mention learn a new offense? Why did it have to be one or the other?

Between having a new offensive coordinator, and the additions made thus far, the Patriots have taken some strides. But will it be enough?

More to the point, does Belichick think he’s done enough, especially to make it out of a stacked AFC East?

The last time Belichick did a Q & A with the media, he recited chapter and verse about the Patriots spending habits, or lack of such.

It’s hard to know if he was bragging, or pointing a finger at the owner. Belichick is certainly in charge, but is there an unspoken cap on spending emanating from the owner?

Or does Belichick just not like to spend, or feel the need?

If Belichick has truly soured on Jones, might he seriously consider trying to land Lamar Jackson, who would make the Patriots instant contenders.

The Ravens placed a non-exclusive franchise tag on Jackson last month.

That means if the Pats signed Jackson to an offer sheet, they’d have to surrender two first-round picks to the Ravens, and also pay the freight on a contract extension.

They could also work out a trade with the Ravens, but given all the hoops, would Belichick be willing to do all of that to take on Jackson, and his contract?

While Rodgers isn’t technically a Jet just yet, it seems only a matter of time. Many believe the addition of Rodgers would significantly improve the Jets. By extension, the perennial AFC East basement-dwellers would yield that distinction to the Patriots.

The Pats have pretty much owned the Jets in recent years. That will no longer be the case. It’s no secret Belichick hates the Jets.

Belichick, who turns 71 next month, is 18 wins away from tying Shula, and 19 wins away from jumping over the Dolphins legendary coach.

Is that the only reason he’s continuing to coach, for the record?
