FOXBORO — Bill Belichick is done as head coach of the New England Patriots, but it doesn’t sound like he’ll be away from the NFL for long.
Thursday’s early announcement that Belichick and the Patriots parted ways wasn’t shocking news, especially coming off the disaster that was last season. The press conference that took place at Gillette Stadium Thursday afternoon was right out of the Belichick playbook. Both he and New England owner Robert Kraft spoke about how the decision was mutual, how great the run was and after nine minutes and 15 seconds, ended without taking a question from the media and an awkward hug between the two men that changed football forever in New England.
