The Dynasty” tricked them into disparaging Bill Belichick by saying, “This Dude Is The Greatest Coach Of All Time.”
Apart from the significant announcement of Bill Belichick’s leaving in January, “The Dynasty” has been the primary topic of noteworthy discussion surrounding the New England Patriots.
The Apple Plus documentary series delves at the inner workings of the New England Patriots’ 20-year mega-dynasty, during which the team appeared in nine Super Bowls, winning six of them, or nearly every two years.
Fans of the New England Patriots are upset with the documentary series’ portrayal of Bill Belichick.
Although the show has received positive reviews from critics, many fans—particularly those who follow Boston sports—have quickly pointed out that producers Brian Glazer and Matthew Hamacheck may have told biased stories.
A portion of this may stem from the well-known close bond between Glazer and Robert Kraft, the owner of the Patriots, who many contend has an overstated role in the dynasty as the “glue” that kept Tom Brady and Bill Belichick together for two decades in order to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
NFL fanbases all around the league have chastised Kraft for doing this and for almost “trashing” Belichick—certainly because of the reputation of his head coach. Furthermore, past players for the New England Patriots have come forward to discuss how their remarks were somewhat taken out of context.
Pro Football Talk reports that Devin McCourty and Rodney Harrison, two All Pro safeties who won Super Bowls, were not happy with the way “The Dynasty” was pieced together to fit a preconceived story.
In a lengthy interview, Rodney Harrison notably notes that only a single, brief thread was included in the final version.
It omitted details about my arrival and that of Corey Dillon.
I was in New York for five or six hours, and all they got me to say was f***— ’em all. That’s it, really!
And then issued a resounding defense of the former New England coach and acting general manager in response to his first remarks.
They behaved as though Bill couldn’t coach because the Patriots have struggled over the past three or four years. Bill wasn’t always the kindest or purest person; he made mistakes. Ultimately, though, he always went above and beyond to improve the squad.
Consider this: He provided me a chance, a draft selection in the fifth round. He provided Tom Brady with a chance. He started Tom Brady and sent out a quarterback worth $100 million when no one felt it was a good idea. He provides chance to those who are the underdog. Nobody discusses that. Furthermore, I don’t think he received enough recognition, deference, or accolades, guy. This guy is the all-time best coach.
