Jerod Mayo and the team announced  that he had graciously resigned from his position as head coach of the New England Patriots, capping a thirty-year tenure that resulted in an unparalleled six Super Bowl titles.

The 71-year-old and quarterback Tom Brady collaborated to create one of the longest winning streaks in professional football history. Patriots owner Robert Kraft revealed the news at a press conference held at Gillette Stadium.

After meeting on Wednesday, Kraft claimed that he and Belichick mutually agreed to part ways amicably.

Standing behind his now-former head coach, Kraft stated, I’m really proud that our cooperation lasted 24 years. It marks the conclusion of a period that our area should always remember and celebrate. The individual positioned to my left provided the guidance and leadership that allowed us to achieve this kind of extraordinary accomplishment.

According to Kraft, the two men felt that a change was necessary.

This decision to split ways is very difficult because he is the greatest coach of all time, Kraft remarked. However, we both agreed that this action is necessary at this moment.

Belichick congratulated every member of the Patriots staff, both on and off the field, for their contributions to the team’s victory as he went through a lengthy list of them.

We’re succeeding because it was a fantastic team effort and everyone gave it their all, he stated.

Of course, the players deserve a great deal of gratitude and admiration. In the NFL, players win games, and I’ve had the extreme good fortune to coach some of the best players ever.

Belichick remarked nonchalantly that he wasn’t always the best coworker or employer.

Depending on how you want to look at it, they (the support personnel) made my life much simpler, or I made their lives much tougher, he claimed.

Leaving the news conference without accepting questions, both men made the announcement. However, Kraft reappeared at the podium two hours later and provided additional context for the change.

Belichick oversaw almost all football-related decisions by acting as a de facto general manager in addition to his role as coach.

According to Kraft, the two had discussed giving Belichick less responsibility, but in the end, the owner claimed he came to the conclusion that doing so would have caused unfavorable second-guessing.

At the second meeting, Kraft told reporters, “It’s going to create uncertainty, and ‘oh, it was his (draft) pick, and it was a horrible pick’ or ‘he didn’t play him well. I don’t think it would work.

A reporter at the second briefing questioned Kraft about if Belichick had resisted leaving and whether the coach had fought for his position.

Kraft hesitated before responding directly.

It was best that we all moved on from it, and Kraft stated that he believed that’s what the past three or four days of devoting time to figuring things out had enabled us to do.

When he expressed gratitude to Patriots supporters for their support over this extended run, the renowned non-demonstrative Belichick seemed to display some emotion.

Fans here are incredible,” Belichick remarked. I have so many memories of the supporters—the send-offs, the parades, the Sundays, the situations—the letters of support, and running into the fans wherever you go—at the grocery store or the petrol station.”

Belichick and Kraft have made it clear that they anticipate the seasoned Pats skipper returning to the sidelines shortly.

Regarding Belichick and the coach’s renowned, eccentric wardrobe choices, Kraft remarked, “It’ll be tough to watch him in a cutoff hoodie on the sideline (of another team), but I will always continue to wish him tremendous success, especially when he’s playing our beloved Patriots.”
