Former new england patriots head coach bill belichick isn’t a fan of apple tv’s “the dynasty” documentary series about the rise and fall of the franchise that won six super bowl titles during the first two decades of the 2000s, according to tom e. curran of nbc sports boston. Curran said, “i hate it” when asked about belichick’s likely reaction to the project that premiered on friday, as shared by gayle troiani of nesn on weei’s “jones and mego” program. “watching the first two episodes and seeing how different bill is in 2000 and 2001 from his in 2024 will be really interesting for people.”
Belichick is portrayed by early reviews of the series as the reason why legendary quarterback tom brady refused to sign another deal with the patriots after the 2019 season. According to reports, patriots owner robert kraft had to act as a “marriage counselor” to hold the belichick-brady relationship together long enough for the new england dynasty to win three of its six super bowl titles from february 2015 to february 2019. “you’ll see at length in this film how many times he says, ‘i’m not commenting on that,'” curran said about belichick’s performances in the series. “… or just gives a blank three-word answer, and then the camera doesn’t blink and just sticks on him as he adjusts his jaw.”
There’s a lot of it.” Chad graff of the athletic reported earlier this week that belichick implied that during the series he and producer matthew hamachek were “understanding” about avoiding certain topics, such as why cornerback malcolm butler was benched in super bowl lii. Curran said, “i don’t think bill liked it.” “i don’t think bill would like it, but it’s not slanted.” We have (longtime patriots captain) matthew slater or (three-time super bowl champion) devin mccourty giving a sarcastic commentary that is unflattering to bill for describing how he created an atmosphere in the latter stages of the dynasty.”
Belichick has received acclaim for his work on previous projects, including the nfl network’s “nfl 100 all-time team.” The 71-year-old, on the other hand, was not to blame for new england’s domination that ended after the 2019 season.
