The coach expressed his appreciation for the franchise during the press conference, reflecting on the two-plus decades he spent in New England.

For the first time in 24 years, the Patriots will be searching for a new head coach – shoes that will be difficult to fill after the remarkable success Belichick had in Foxborough.
