Bill Belichick (born April 16, 1952 in Nashville, Tennessee) was perhaps the greatest coach in NFL history, winning six Super Bowls as the head coach of the New England Patriots (2001, 2003, 2004, 2014, 2016 and 2018) and two as an assistant coach of the New York Giants (1986, 1990). As of 2024, Belichick holds the NFL record for the most playoff wins (31) and has the second-most victories overall (333).[1] He is particularly known as one of the greatest defensive masterminds in NFL history.
In 2024, Belichick signed a 5-year contract to coach the University of North Carolina Tar Heels college football team,[1] after reportedly becoming disgusted with the NFL.
After going 4-13 as head coach of the Patriots in 2023, the owner of the Patriots said on ESPN that he was "really disappointed," and then Belichick quit.[2]
Belichick was the head coach of the Patriots when it held an sham tryout for Tim Tebow, which was apparently done to rehabilitate the team's image after its tight end Aaron Hernandez was arrested (and later convicted) for murder.
Belichick was one of the longest-tenured NFL head coaches with over 32 years of coaching. In addition to the above, Belichick was also the head coach of the Cleveland Browns (1991-95). In 2000, the Patriots traded their first-round 2000 NFL Draft choice to the New York Jets to acquire Belichick as their head coach.
