The long-term future of the Patriots organization has faced a great deal of scrutiny since Tom Brady’s tenure with the franchise ended following the 2019 NFL season.
Brady and Patriots coach Bill Belichick established a championship-winning dynasty in New England, capturing six Super Bowls from 2001—Brady’s first full season as a starter—to the ’19 campaign. With the 15-time Pro Bowler leading the offense, Belichick notched an impressive .774 winning percentage.
However, since Brady’s departure, Belichick’s old-school approach and personality in a new era of New England football has become a crucial issue in the franchise’s trajectory. Belichick has tallied a .465 winning percentage that includes the disastrous 1-4 start in the ’23 campaign with quarterback Mac Jones.
