BILL Belichick's rollercoaster year has taken in the end of a historic coaching career and the start of a controversial relationship. The New England Patriots legend began 2024 in humiliating fashion with his departure from the franchise after 24 years and six Super Bowls. To the shock of the NFL community, Belichick couldn't secure a head coaching role in the offseason and will head into the 2024 season unemployed.
But Belichick bounced back with a move into broadcasting on The Pat McAfee Show, a star turn at Tom Brady's Netflix Roast, plus an appearance on Apple TV+ docuseries The Dynasty. And the 72-year-old has since made further headlines with his controversial relationship with former cheerleader Jordon Hudson , who is 24 years old. Here is a look at Belichick's year so far which has gone from jeers to cheers.
Belichick began 2024 amid rampant speculation he was about to lose his job, with the Patriots having a dismal 4-12 record going into the final regular season game. His departure became inevitable after the Patriots lost 17-13 to the New York Jets to mark the worst finish for Belichick since he took over the franchise. "As far as the future goes, I'll sit down with Robert (Kraft), as I do every year at some point at the end of the season," Belichick said.
"And we will talk about things as we always do. I'm sure that will happen." On January 11, Patriots owner Robert Kraft decided to wield the axe to end Belichick's historic 24-year run with the team.
In an emotiona.
