This is football gold…so happy he gets to share his football brilliance with the world. If we can’t have John Madden in 2024 it’s amazing to have Coach Belichick!!!

As time goes by, I wondered if Bill was tired of Kraft and wanted out. Look at the difference in the two of them.

4-13. He left the worst roster in the NFL. He's a lifetime loser.
Why won't he just age gracefully and step aside. Really kind of sad that Belichick is hanging on like this.
Larry Bird knew when to hang it up. Belichick doesn't.

Guy with 8 rings is a loser? By your standards I’d like to know who’s a winner.

You got what you wanted. Why so bitter? Are you angry about Mac Jones being gone?
