Legendary coach Bill Belichick just turned 72 and the New England Patriots had a sweet little message for the coach who helped make the franchise a dynasty. While sweet, the message was not all that well received by fans, given the latest developments, i.e, his supposed “firing” after 24 years, and the recent bombshell documentary ‘Dynasty,’ which didn’t paint Belichick in the best light.

Bill Belichick has won six Super Bowls with the Patriots, mostly accorded to his decision-making and risk-taking. The team also holds 17 division titles and nine AFC titles, making Bill a significant part of the team’s success.
However, the 2023 season was a difficult one for the Patriots as they grappled throughout, finally landing 4th in the AFC East with a 4-13 final tally. However, as 2024 is around the corner, a first without Belichick after 1999, fans are bound to worry. Therefore, as the Patriots set forward their message for Bill Belichick, most of them vented their frustrations in the comment section.
You fired BB. You made a disgusting hit piece of a documentary about BB. Now you wish him HBD? Get out of here lol

As Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick mutually parted ways, the coach has reportedly been looking for a new abode. He interviewed with the Atlanta Falcons multiple times but was dropped for Raheem Morris. For someone with vast achievements and such fan backing, opportunities for Belichick in the offseason have been bleak.
Bill Belichick to Washington?
Bill Belichick, who has been searching for new opportunities found himself with a new opportunity. He was spotted wearing a University of Washington sweatshirt and cap while sporting his serious Belichick look on the sideline of their spring practice.
Though a high point, his esteemed presence came as his son Steve assumed the position of defensive coordinator in Washington. His insights might be the most needed upliftment for the team, as the Huskies faced a setback on the final stage against Michigan after a perfect season.
