Bill Belichick is out as the Patriots coach.

Even though it felt like a split between Bill Belichick and the Patriots was inevitable, it's still wild this is real.

Belichick won six Super Bowls with the Patriots, and will be remembered by many as the greatest NFL coach to ever do it.

The man won and won at the highest level imaginable for a very long time. Unfortunately for Belichick, he couldn't continue to win at a high level.

All parties must end and going 12-22 over the past two years was apparently a bridge too far for Patriots owner Robert Kraft. A change had to be made and both sides are now going their separate ways.
