Part 7/10:
Belichick's departure from Brady appears to have marked a turning point. His attempts to prove he's still a genius seem increasingly desperate. The narrative around him has shifted from a coaching legend to the figure who 'ran off Tom Brady,' and now to the coach overseeing a disaster at North Carolina that further tarnishes his reputation.
His failure to secure a job in the NFL following his firing from the Patriots last year underscores his current challenges. Rumors of interest from teams like the Falcons or Saints have not materialized into opportunities, likely due to his age (73), reputation as difficult to work with, and the diminished willingness of NFL franchises to gamble on a coach with recent losing record and controversial baggage.
