Belichick and team owner Robert Kraft spoke to media at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough following the announcement:
Belichick’s time with the Patriots ends after a 4-13 season in 2023 — but his run with the organization was unprecedented: six Super Bowl championships, nine AFC titles, 17 AFC East division titles and 292 wins overall as head coach.
He and Tom Brady were the faces of the Patriots for years.
Brady retired from the NFL last February after 23 seasons and seven championships.
