How long did Bill Belichick coach the New England? What was his overall record with the Patriots?
Belichick wasn’t able to finish his career with the Patriots the way he expected, but his time in New England was one of the most remarkable ever in the NFL.
Bill Belichick said goodbye to the New England Patriots in January after his team didn’t live up to the expectations last season. However, he left the franchise as one of the coaches who spent the most time leading a single team in NFL history.
He and Tom Brady were some of the most recognizable faces of the competition and the most successful duo in the league, a partnership that translated into many successful nights and titles.
Belichick expected to leave the Patriots in style, having a good season and making an impact in the league. Things played out differently and in the 2023-24 season the legendary coach suffered his worst coaching defeat against the Dallas Cowboys (38-3), and right after that, they lost 34-0 to the Saints, which was Belichick’s worst home loss of his career.
How long did Bill Belichick coach the New England?
Considered by many as the greatest coach the NFL has ever had, Belichick led New England for 24 seasons. After being the head coach and defensive backs in the team in 1996, he came back to New England as head coach in 2000.
Since then, he had a glorious career with the Patriots, and the term The Patriot Way was created as a synonym with Belichick’s winning spirit. With the Belichick era being part of the past, the Patriots fans are looking ahead and will hope to keep winning without the Nashville native.
What was Bill Belichick’s overall record with the Patriots?
The Patriots went on to win six Super Bowls, the most for any head coach, with a record of 6-3 in the last game of the season. Two of his three Super Bowl defeats came to the New York Giants and another was against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Besides his successful history in Super Bowl games, his Patriots won nine AFC championship games out of 13 appearances in that match.
After 24 campaigns, Belichick had a regular-season record of 266–121–0 with the Patriots and a 30–12 one in the playoffs. His 266 wins with the franchise are more than quadruple those of runner-up Mike Holovak.
He had 19 consecutive winning seasons (2001-2019) and lifted 17 division titles during that span. His worst numbers came in the 2023-24 season, as the team posted a 4-13 mark.
