Bill Belichick departure: Patriots part ways after 6 Super Bowl victories, says AP source

Bill Belichick, 6-time NFL champ, parts ways with New England Patriots. Team owner Robert Kraft to address decision. Belichick's exit goes viral.

Bill Belichick, who has won six NFL championships as the coach of the New England Patriots, has agreed to part ways with the team after a 24-year tenure. This news comes after the Patriots ended the season with a 4-13 record, their worst in 29 seasons. Despite this, Belichick has achieved 333 wins, including the playoffs, during his time with the Patriots. He has led the team to six Super Bowl victories, nine AFC titles, and 17 division championships. Belichick's departure leaves the Patriots in search of a new head coach, with potential candidates including Patriots linebackers coach Jerod Mayo and former Patriots player Mike Vrabel. Belichick's exit comes just a day after his longtime friend and legendary coach Nick Saban announced his retirement. The Patriots have struggled since the departure of quarterback Tom Brady, and Belichick's subsequent solutions at quarterback have not panned out. In addition, his acclaim for managing the salary cap has waned, and the team has faced several cheating investigations. Despite these challenges, Belichick's legacy in New England is undeniable, and his departure marks the end of an era for the Patriots.
