This man deserved every second of that fantastic standing ovation. Will always cherish what Coach Belichick did for the Patriots.

[@troym.reaves5935]

He should still be on our sidelines as our head coach, hopefully Mayo does Great most definitely though but Belichick should still be the coach, he could have let the General Manager go, but stayed as head coach

[@ItsCave]

@@troym.reaves5935it was his time to move on. He wants to be the GM/HC and it just hasn’t worked out the last few years. Miss him though

[@Bone_youtube_soft]

​@@ItsCavetime for you to move on

[@mikesmith5559]

​@@troym.reaves5935 it was just time. Nobody loves Bill more than I do, but he and the Patriots needed a fresh start. Who knows... maybe his coaching style just won't work for this new generation. Doesn't take away from the fact that he had probably the greatest 20 year run in sports history. Brady and Belichick were both great, but they made each other better. Belichick was possibly the only coach who wanted to draft him at all. He also was probably the only coach who had the balls to keep him in and keep Bledsoe on the sideline. So it wasn't all Brady. It's totally possible that, without Belichick, almost nobody outside of Michigan would remember him. Bill gave him the chance to blossom.

[@Dixout1991]

I am far from a Patriots fan, and I hated Tom Brady when I was 10, back in 2001. But I grew up to respect and then love these 2 men because they are the definition of success.

[@afmartin2734]

@@moheganson _ How is the greatest GM in NFL history and the greatest coach "horrible" and "mediocre"? That makes no sense. He made no names into Hall of Famers. Brady was a lowly 6th rd pick. Malcolm Butler made millions because BB gave him a tryout. Edelman. Slater. He's drafted 6 or 7 other Hall of Fame players beyond Brady. He invented the Cap Era recipe on how to build teams over and over and over. He was so great, the Jets owner hired a commissioner to try to slow him down by making up stories to feed the media to take draft picks. It's how Pats fans knew Deflategate was also a framejob. It's so awkward watching you people years later still look like complete fools, just riddled with jealousy. We can only imagine how many more rings they would have had without Goodell's shenanigans hiding behind the owners' cheating from 345 Park Ave. It's the stuff of legend. Yet, you claim he's "mediocre" or "horrible". You may want to reach out for form help from a professional. You people need it. This is like saying Red Auerbach was mediocre or horrible. Makes absolutely no sense.

It was Bill who drafted Tom. It was Bill who kept Tom on the roster as the 4th QB his rookie season. And it was Bill who made the decision keep Tom as the starter once Bledsoe was healthy enough to play.

[@afmartin2734]

And it was also Bill who scared Tom for his job after subpar postseasons (elephant in the room) for years and years where it looked like it wasn't going to end, byt drafting Jimmy Garoppolo. That's where Brady's daddy started running his mouth in interviews, but the genius of it by BB actually scared Brady from being traded by being better, getting back under Center more, using a FB, and spreading the ball around so the LaFells, Amendolas, Hogans, etc, got touches to get back to being the better postseason Brady of yesteryear (2001-2004). Give me old school pre Giselle Brady all day long. That's what BB wanted Brady to get back to, and to stop checking out of the run all the time and throwing almost exclusively from the shogton. Brady wanted it, it didn't work in the postseason, so BB addressed it. Genius. Greatest draft picks in history: BB for a 1st, Brady for a 6th and Garoppolo for a 2nd. Truth. BB worked with Garoppolo daily and Brady knew what that meant. It's what made Brady do what he did at the end, but it still yielded 3 more rings for the fans. Without BB drafting Garoppolo, no way a 2nd dynasty is formed. No way.
