Bill Belichick, who led the New England Patriots to a record six Super Bowl titles, has left the team after 24 seasons.

“He is the greatest coach of all time, which makes this decision to part ways so hard. This is a move that we mutually agreed that is needed at this time. What Bill accomplished, in my opinion, will never be duplicated,” said Patriots owner Robert Kraft at a press conference on Thursday.
