Belichick leaves Patriots after 24 seasons
The Coaching Carousel has claimed New England’s Bill Belichick.
According to the NFL Network and ESPN, the Patriots and the coach who led them to six Super Bowl victories will part ways.
The 71-year old recently wrapped up his 24th season as head coach with the team.
In that time he led a once-woeful franchise to 17 division titles, 13 appearances in the AFC Championship Game, nine Super Bowl berths, and six NFL Championships.
Since parting ways with longtime quarterback Tom Brady, Belichick and the Patriots have missed the playoffs in three of the last four years.
He departs with 266 wins at New England.
