According to a new report from The Athletic, former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick reportedly "withdrew" from his staff and those he perceived as disloyal to him during his final season in New England, the outlet reported Wednesday.

Belichick has never been much of an extrovert, but per The Athletic's Chad Graff, the long-tenured coach "further withdrew during [the 2023-24] season amid his team’s struggles, according to team sources with knowledge of the situation." Belichick is also said to have "stopped talking altogether to multiple members of his already small coaching staff, cutting off communication with anyone perceived to be less than entirely loyal to him."
