Bill Belichick, Patriots 'part ways' after 24 seasons, 6 Super Bowl titles

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The NFL doesn't offer perfect endings to many figures. Not even to a coach with more championship rings than anyone in league history, who took a New England Patriots franchise from the bottom of the NFL to one of the greatest 20-year runs in sports history.

In a headline that would have been hard to believe a few years ago, Bill Belichick is out as the Patriots' head coach. Belichick and the Patriots have decided to "part ways" after 24 seasons and six Super Bowl titles, the team announced Thursday.

Belichick and Robert Kraft put the official stamp on their divorce in a news conference, where they took no questions from media.

The rise of the Patriots under Belichick, with six Super Bowl titles (to go with the two he had as New York Giants defensive coordinator) will forever be part of NFL lore. The story will also include how quickly and completely it all fell apart with the Patriots after Tom Brady left the team.

1. Bill's record with any one but Brady

Has never been good.

I don't envy the next person who comes in to run the show.

2. He'd best retire

Has he won a Super Bowl with anyone BUT Brady? He's a one-trick pony, and the pony is gone. Besides which, he's 73 and looks every bit of it. Sit down, old man, before you fall down.

3. Lol at the comments about winning without brady...

The #2 super bowl coach is Chuck Noll, who only won superbowls with Bradshaw as qb.

Lombardi only won with Starr.

Landry only won with Staubach.

Edit, according to NBC, only 3 coaches have won with multiple qbs.

football will be different next season
