Bill Belichick: “I will always be a Patriot.” | Patriots Press Conference 

The most emotional I’ve ever seen him with the media. Always my GOAT

The end of an era… thank you Bill Belichick for 24 years. And thank you for being a Patriot

*"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened"..*

The greatest coach in my eyes!!! This is the end of one of the greatest football eras. Go Pats!!!!

The end of the greatest era in NFL history. Sucks the way it ended, but we won’t forget what you did for us. Good luck with wherever the future takes you Bill

As a Steelers fan, it's a sad day to see you go Bill even though you outcoached and beat us almost every time. What a career! GOAT!

This the most I’ve heard the man talk, won’t be the same without you in the league

3:41 - He didn't break until he got to the fans. Godspeed Bill.

Six Frickin’ Super Bowl Wins!!!!! 🎉 Thank you Coach Bill Belichick 👍

To wake up and the first thing you see is this. Maaaan the only thing I will say is Thank you Coach. Through the ups and downs we fight and support this amazing team. What a wonderful and an amazing career you had in New England. To the greatest Coach of all time, Thank you and Forever a PATRIOT. 😢

I never comment on videos but this deserves one. I’ve grown up watching the Patriots with Belichick and Brady. It was hard seeing Brady leave but was happy to see him continue to have success in the NFL with the Bucs. But watching this and knowing I won’t see another season with Belichick as our head coach, for some reason this is hitting harder. Thank you for all the joy, wins and even heartbreaks I’ve seen over the past couple decades. Patriots forever.

What him and Brady did will never be done again

As Vikings fan and not being tied emotionally to this. It hits me hard.vive been to so many Superbowl parties with this guy the last 2 and half decades. Congratulations Coach. U will be missed. #GOAT

Thank you Bill. You put your heart and soul into this job. We are forever grateful

Thank You Bill. For everything you have done for this franchise. No words can describe the love we Patriots fans have for you. You will ALWAYS be OUR coach!

Truly the end of an era. First with Tom. But now, the final heavy nail. I always want more, so I wanted a few more years on our beloved team's sidelines. Am hoping he stays in football. Would be weird to see him coach somewhere else, but I say go for it.

I gotta say and speak the truth,,,i actually cried...thank you Bill for what youve done for 24yrs.....😢

Giants fan here and I got so much respect for coach. He set such a high standard of winning and elite consistency that is unmatched. Will love to see where the next chapter takes him.

Thank you Bill. You truly made this organization into a great and winning one. I really appreciate all that you have done.

Salute BB 🫡. Thank you for 24 years 🔥💪🏾👊🏾. Love ya, mean it and I wish you the best 💯. On to the next chapter. I’ll be there when you get into the HOF.

Hellooo from Gatlinburg TN Smoky Mountains Park .I was born and raised in Portsmouth RI and I thank you BB and RK for winning a trophy before my beloved Grandma passed away in 2007 and my uncle who passed a few yrs later ..Both HUGE fans! My uncle lived in Ft Lauderdale and we'd send him the taped Pats game on VHS in the 80s to watch ..*Way before technology* ...Thank you for the memories ❤🎉

Forever a legend man

This is tough. We love you Bill.

24 years.. thank you so much for the memories.

Thanks bill for making the patriots the patriots!!❤

Thanks for the memories Bill!!! ❤👍👏🏻🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Bellichick and the patriots give the same vibes I had with Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United 😢

From a Bills fan. Congratulations coach. Just like you always preached. You always did your job. Much respect to you.

What an amazing career, Coach BB! As a Dolphins fan I can't say I'll miss the beat downs we received from Coach BB and team, but there were some amazing games between our teams. Much respect for all you achieved on and off the field, a truly amazing run, if not the best of all time (Sorry, I still have my FinFan blinders on so Shula will always be my GOAT). Enjoy some time off, and best of luck with the next coaching venture!

Thank you bill for all the memories

What a great ride. Thank you Coach!!!

The greatest football coach to ever do it. I’m excited to see what’s next for Bill. Thank you for all of the success and amazing memories. Since I’ve been alive the patriots have been the empire to the leagues rebellion and it’s been a pleasure to watch as a Patriots fan.

Thanks coach. Amazing what you did for New England. Happy we got to witness it.

Gonna miss you Bill...Thanks a millions (aka 6 SB)...

Thanks for an amazing 24 years! Will be forever greatful for the amazing football you've given us over the years.

Man this all feels like a terrible nightmare…feels like just yesterday I lived and died by BB and TB12’s ability to make me happy watching them crush opponents…now here we are…they’re both gone forever and this team is a shell of itself. What a sad sad day. I never thought this would happen. Thank you Bill…we will always love you. 😢

Forever a Patriot. Forever New England.

Love an thank all of you for being here in New England. I've been a Patriots fan since high school 1980. Thanks

Thank coach I’m glad to live this life to witness a era of football with Tom and bill

Classy Guys. I Love how we did this.. Love Pats for life..

Thank you for everything you have done for New England. You will be missed so much. I wish you the best in all you do. It was nice this side of you. Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt speech. We will miss you so much.

Love this guy and Im a Browns fan from Cleveland much respect all time football guy

Thank you coach.

Thank You

Thanks Bill Belichick for everything. You and TB12 brought me to loving football and the Patriots! #ForeverNE Greetings from Germany

I never thought I’d see this day come

Thank you Coach!! A legend of the game. Will be cheering you on at your next team.

Thank you from Canada. A true Patriot. Great coach. Not every coach can win 6 x Super Bowls with Tom Brady. It was tiring to retire. Thank you, coach.

Thank You Coach!!!

Tom Brady and now Bill Belichick.. It was inevitable as all good things must come to an end. My childhood is officially over, but we got to witness history. And that's all I knew. It's Patriots till I die, and Belichick & Brady are Patriots forever!

Legend 🐐 Super Bowl XLIX I’ll never forget it! Went to the exhibition hall in downtown Phoenix and it was a blast!

Robert standing right there just in case Bill gets loose in the mouth 😂

Classic Billy boy! Monotone speech... awkward handshake and the almost manhug with Robert. On a personal note, if you ever were to read this Bill please realize what the work you have done actually meant. Me, my sons, my family and close friends have experienced such incredible days watching the work that you have done. We have experienced the thrill of winning in some of the most dramatic ways, because of the work you have done. You have given everything to your craft and have delivered a masterpiece that all of us feel like we have been part of. Looking back today I see so many cherished times. So from my family to yours - Thank you! Now, on to Cincinnati!

You did awesome bill. Was a wild ride to watch. Legend- an eagles fan.

A Heartwarming Hug from a Pats Fan in Portugal Bill.

Thank you Coach!

Thank you Coach! Been a Pats fan since ‘74 and I am proud to have had the privilege of watching the Greatest to ever coach! End of a Long Reign. Thanks again

Bill is simply the goat (GREATEST COACH OF ALL TIME) you will always be a patriot

Thank you sir. I'm 46, you've been the head coach of my favorite, hometown team for more than half my life. Boston sports media (the majority of them) SUCK.... Thank you for being the greatest coach ever.

Thanks for years of greatness and everything you did for New England, Coach.

It’s crazy for a guy who doesn’t show a lot of emotion. It’s touching that we can all reflect on all the great memories wether your a fan or not Coach has all of our respect. Thanks Coach!

We love u coach Sad day today but happy for the future pats nation forever man love u coach

Thank you, Bill Belichick!!!!! Grew up with you as the steady and faithful Patriots coach we trust!!! A sad day for Patriots Nation...wish it wasn't true!

unreal. 20 years of my life only know 1 coach. stay during up and down. thank you for everything Bill!

I'm not even a Patriot fan as they skinned my team multiple times, but.... My Hat is truly Off to Bill. What a run!!!

I hope im wrong but I dont think we can get better than Belichick as a coach honestly. The dynasty will never be repeated! Been fun being a patriot fan for 25 years and this is officially my chance to not take it so seriously anymore. I would get mega stressed sometimes watching them play and as the dynasty players moved on or retired it only got worse wondering if theyd be able to make it happen again. This is the final piece for me. The Patriots will never be the Patriots I chose as my "favorite" team in 1998 on a workplace NFL fantasy card. I had no idea that Id get so emotionally involved in a football team as I watched them go from a team that sucked to the greatest of all time. It was an amazing ride as a fan. Ill watch from a distance from now on and check in from time to time. Thanks Bill

I've been a fan of the patriots for 23 years this year and I will always be a fan because of what you and Tom did both goats 🐐 sad 😭 day for football 😔😔😢

Ty Bill for all you gave for this organization.

As a Colts and now Browns fan, he's made life hell for everyone else for a long time, but that's only because he was so goddamn good at his job. Absolutely unquestionable 1st ballot HOF coach.

Thanks to the greatest coach of the 21st C. & arguably of all time. During Brady's stint Belichick's teams had over 130 AP 1st Team / All Pro selections an all time record. Brady had a lot to do with it but never would have had the success without all the talent around him. Full stop!

We love you Bill. Best of luck going forward whatever that looks like for you! You made being a Patriots fan such a joy! We are all Patriots.

Thanks Bill and please take care and know you are family!

Ol' Bill got a little choked up talking about the fans. (We love you too, Bill.) #ForeverNewEngland

Hvala Bill za sve! Pozdrav iz Hrvatske!

GREATEST COACH OF ALL TIME NO DOUBT 🎉❤ ALWAYS A PATRIOT FOREVER!

Thanks for memories coach you’re truly the GOAT

Thank you, coach! It has been an amazing journey since 2000 (fan since 1996). I was an 18-year-old kid back then, and now I am a 42 year older man. No one will match or duplicate what you and the Pat's have done (Brady & company). Best of luck in the future (get another one coach 💍). Let's go Pat's! (You also exit beating the Steelers one more time. Thank you for that) Best Coach of all time!

Truly the end of an era. Thank you, Coach Bill Belichick, for everything that you have done for the Patriots! A true legend.

I’m not a patriot fan, however, I love greatness. Bill Belichick and in my opinion is the greatest coach ever. He won two Super Bowls here in New York with Bill Parcells, and then he won another six so by himself and the great teams he put together. Truly an end to an era. no one can come after him to be even close. Enclosing “just do your job, and that Mr. Kraft couldn’t do.

Thank you Bill Belichick. You did a fantastic job as a HC of New England Patriots.🏈

This man is the greatest I remember his days when he began his days coaching at Cleveland we were always up in the air we always were in the playoffs and we always were a devastating defense and offense and we had the elite players of all times. And then he went on to new england. And he won all those super bowls and he had all those great no one will ever say that this man didn't do a great job wherever he went and my hat's off to him Bill belichick you'll always be the greatest coach in my eyes. Cleveland Cleveland.. browns fan

9 SuperBowl trips, 6 winners. Not bad from a St. Louis Rams fan who remembers that SB36.

Very well done and well said Bill. All good things must end and start anew, but it was one hell of a ride. The Brady/Belichick debate, to me, is ridiculous. Two VERY driven, talented, studious, perfectionists who Love the game of football came together for a run that will forever stand the test of time. As a Giants fan, those two Superbowls were all the more incredible because we came out on top against these absolutely remarkable Patriots teams.

All from the heart…

Heart broken 💔😔

Belichick needs to be remembered for having 8 Super Bowl Rings. The most in the history of the NFL by any person. He coached 2 different Dynasty’s in 2 different era’s (2001-2007) (2014-2019). Most Super Bowl Appearances by any head coach/player ever. He is the GOAT. And for everyone who will try to mention Tom Brady being the reason, belichick designed the plays and coverages for both offense and defense, he played a big role in Toms success.

Love you Hawtie Coach 💗🧸 Thank you for everything 💗🧸

You were a great coach Bill ❤🎉
