I have a weird respect for the "Hoodie" now. After watching the NFL Top 100 series he's a historian and has such great respect for the game.
Same.
That Kraft press conference was a masterclass too. Imagine, an owner taking accountability for his actions and admitting his shortcomings!
I actually like the hoodie, even I really hate Patriots and Brady.
I genuinely hope he gets a TV show that's all him diving deep into football's obscure history. There's a clip out there of a reporter asking him about long snappers and whether or not they warrant their own roster spot. Bill forgot anyone else was in the room for a solid minute or two as he went into the history of the position. It's my favorite hoodie moment of all time, and he seemed genuinely bashful at the end when he realized he was still supposed to be answering other questions. Lol. Complimented the reporter on a phenomenal question.
@GlacialScion I would totally watch that TV show. When he's on tv and not doing coaching pregame or post game press conferences I'd say he can be a pretty likeable guy.
“He’s got a cold so I’m not going to kiss him.”
“Thank you.”
What a perfect end to the Kraft/Belichick partnership.
Any coach who takes your team from mediocrity and adds 6 Super Bowls, let alone 10 Super Bowl appearances, to their coffers deserves a kiss EVEN WITH A COLD
It kinda shows how the relationship has deteriorated between them through the years with Belicihcik’s personnel moves and his tight control over the team management
Kraft doesn’t give happy endings, he receives them.
like even tho i hate the Patriots as a Jets fan it's undeniable what he's done to this team when he first joined they were the Laughing stock of the AFC believe it or not an even bigger Meme then the Jets because at least the Jets won a Superbowl by the time Bill retired he turned that franchise into one of the most Dominant names in NFL History 6 Superbowls in just 18 years it will take awhile before we truly realize how insane that was 2 different dynasties many years ago @@YankeesFan0620
Fitting how the Jets were the ones to beat the Pats after a long time... and still managed to lose by having a worse draft position.
The joys of a Jets fan.
Beat me to it.
Weren't you guys on a recovery upswing last season? What happened to that?
Giants did the same.
To quote every MOBA player that dies on a high risk, high reward play, and comes out winning:
"Worth!"
@@SerbAtheist They lost their shiny new toy within minutes of play, for one thing.
Knowing we'll have 2 UTree videos today is inspirational. What a glorious Saturday for Sportsball
We will? Haters Guide is out thou
plot twist: the second video will be "congrats browns!"
Whoever loses the dolphins chiefs game is definitely getting a congrats video.
@@donovanbowman8157 The inevitability “Congrats____!” videos!
Not every team gets a congrats video, usually just teams that lose in embarrassing fashion whether it be a historic collapse or even just losing as a heavy favorite. If the Steelers or Packers lose this weekend I doubt they’ll get videos unless something crazy happens during the game
Belichick was the reason why New England Sports flourished in those Decades. The other teams in the region followed with their successes
*Brady
I mean
Big papi
Celts had the 2005-13 team.
Bruins had chara and the 2006-7 draft class
This might be the dumbest comment I've seen in a long time. Belichick is not a good Head Coach...he has never been a good head coach. Brady was his success. He has been a Head Coach for 30+ seasons. He had Brady for 20 of those. He had a total of 2 winning seasons without Brady. Also, a mediocre at best football coach doesn't effect other sports in the area. If that's the case, great coaches would also inspire dynasties and I don't remember Chicago having anything with Phil Jackson...or San Fran having anything with Walsh.
The only good thing Belichick did was decide to finally put in Brady and never loom back.
If Brady never existed, Beli would be a medicore coach.
The Bruins became successful in this century because of the culture of winning created by Bergeron and Chara. You can't put that on Bill.
It was time for Bill to go, but that doesn't take anything away from what he's done for the Patriots franchise. He brought in a sound culture, built powerful defenses, and took a chance on who ended up being a GOAT in Tom Brady. Thanks for everything Bill; while the Patriots time at the top is over, the memories us fans have will never be taken away.
greatest 15 years of my life as a child. i would give anything to experience it one more time
Agreed. Legendary run. I hope he gets a chance to take over a team thats a coach away (Chargers?) and push for another SB or two.
And on the idea of Bill coaching the chsrgers. You'd have three of the best coaches in the 2000s playing eachother twice. That would certainly be fun to watch.
He won By Cheating. Every single victory of his is suspect.
You _want_ that legacy? You're welcome to it. All Hollow wins that I for one refuse to call victories because the One Thing one has to do _BEFORE_ deciding one is willing to cheat is admit that one does not think one will win *without* it. If Bill was Black & had done those things he'd have been expelled from the NFL.
I 100% agree with you. As somebody who has watched him build some of the best teams of the century on both sides of the ball, I know that he will be remembered more for his contributions to the game than his failures. It’s trendy to repeat the tired hot take about Brady carrying the team for 20 years, but I’m sure that garbage discourse will die in the coming years. One player can’t create a 20 year dynasty, bust a great coaching mind can contribute a lot to it.
tbf he didn't have a choice but to take a chance of Brady literally Brady doesn't start if Bledsoe didn't get hurt thank you Jets for that btw
It's funny how the Jets were the same ones who Started the Patriots Dynasty ( The Mo Lewis hit on Drew Bledsoe) and now they end up beating the Patriots in Bill's last game
Not to mention Bill’s brief tenure as Jets HC, Eric Mangini opening the floodgates on Spygate the moment he couldn’t benefit from it anymore, the Butt Fumble…
In one of their many Top Ten Fuck Ups episodes, ESPN counted the failure of the Jets organization to get rid of The Tuna for His Merciful Dark Hoodie suddenly resigning as the top mistake. They warned Jets fans watching as they explained that he would have listened to the advice to draft Brady.
They ended it with a Patriots Super Bowl parade with the uniforms digitally changed to Jets uniforms with the obvious "what if."
Bill the coach will be missed
Bill the GM will not
100%
Exactly. Even a competent offense wins 10 games with that defense this year
@bananaman5668 I'm not reading that novel, good god🤣
@@Unfortunat3S0n my condolences for going through all that
Banana man, no one wants to waste thirty minutes of their time reading your nonsense.
In some way Im starting to feel how the older generations felt when Landry, Walsh, Lombardi, Noll, Bear Bryant, Paul Brown. All eras has to come to a end, as I get older to have a genuine appreciation for what they represented. The Platonic idea of football
I grew up watching Bear Bryant coach. It was a dark day when he retired. Darker still when he passed on.
September 23, 2001 the Jets played the Pats and beat them 10-3. Drew Bledsoe was ruled out of thegame and the season. 6th round draft pick out of Michigan Tom Brady came into the game. That was the start of the Pats dynasty. Truly poetic that the final game was a loss against the Jets where he only scored 3 points.
last 4 games against the Jets the Patriots have only scored 2 offensive touchdowns yet won 3/4 that is a pretty insane statistic
We have a saying in Serbian: 'However much I am weak, you'll never be strong.' Belichick's nadir is still higher than many coaches' peak. With that decrepit offense many other coaches might have led the Pats to an 0-17 record.
Spasiba
Patriots defense was great yet again. Bellichick still can run a great defense.
Why are you athieSt🤦🏽♂️
@@JaKingScomez Because I don't believe in the existence of god. Always have been since birth.
@@SerbAtheist how can you call youserlf a serbian then
You know in some fantasy lore, their history is divided into different eras based on major events. Like how the oblivion crisis marks the end of the Third Era in Elder Scrolls. This past week I feel marks the end of a football era.
Now we head into the Fourth Era. An age of uncertainty and chaos. Me thinks the Chiefs are the World-Eater 😅
Hell no, Chiefs franchise is already on an inevitable slow decline. I think we're headed for an interregnum where there will be a lot of competition and no repeat dynasties for awhile.@@thedarkemperor9292
We left the era of the Five Good Emperors and are heading into the Late Roman period of football. Chaos and strife. Even the Chiefs have been in a decline, small and not enough to take away their competitiveness but it's still noticeable
4:32 Man those words on aging kinda hit. I'm in college now and we have the "young guns" of today in McVay, McDaniels, and now Jerod Mayo. I wonder how quickly time will fly to them being considered "old-heads"...
@danielmckraken5160 I put him in there because he's the youngest HC in the NFL right now. We haven't seen him coach a game, how tf can you talk about his ability?
Seeing Bill go hurts, I would've been fine with him staying as a HC only. Hopefully Mayo is up for it and praying we land a great GM.
The reason he went was probably because he doesn't want to relinquish the gm side of things
As a Pats fan I can easily say losing McDaniels was the reason why Jones completely crumbled. They had an understanding of each other and the offense ran in a way that best benefit his strengths. As soon as McDaniels was gone, Jones fell apart without his mentor
I really feel bad for Mac. I still believe if he gets a decent environment around him, he could turn it around. It's rough to see these kids not have the success you would hope for them.
That and his weapons being putrid or mishandled. I ranted about Jonnu Smith sucking for 2 years but he's had success everywhere else. We didn't even use Kendrick Bourne last year who is by far the best of Belichick's horrendous receiver pickups. I'd like to say Tyquan sucks but we don't have a QB that can throw the deep ball. Parker can be good but we use him like he's Randy Moss thinking he can win infinite 50/50 balls and its often led to interceptions. Juju has been a total disaster. Same with Nelson Aghalor. Gesicki is good but without competent receivers to create space for him we can't get him the ball. Mac has gotten fucked.
I agree I think Mac was incredibly under utilized. I think rich eisen said it best the other day. Mac jones just needs a hug and tom Brady just needed information. And I’m a hawks fan, if we get Dan Quinn I’d be more than happy to take Mac jones and see what we can do with him along with a hug.
Exactly Mac was pretty solid in his rookie season and instead we decide to replace Josh McDaniels with a prominent failure on defense from 2017 onwards and Joe Judge. That right there was setting Mac up for failure.
@@elliottpierce9823 The thing about Tyquan is that everytime he gets a nice deep ball from either Mac or Zappe, he drops it, which means he literally can't do the one thing they drafted him for, he's pretty much Limas Sweed 2.0, plus his route running is pretty atrocious. I lost a lot of respect for Parker after he dropped that deep ball in the Raiders game and refused to hold himself accountable for it, and Juju has been VERY bad, but atleast he pinned the blame on himself for the loss against the Commies. Jonnu Smith definitely had a solid year with the Falcons, but it wasn't anything special, so go figure, the man was a HUGE liability when he played for the Pats, as was Aghalor. It was so unfortunate how KB wasn't utilized more last year because he was in the "dog house" for defending Mac whenever he'd have an angry outburst, but I am glad Bill and Patricia woke the f**k up when he balled in the Bengals game.
I watched every snap this season for the Patriots. Painful was an understatement. Belichick was fired, regardless of how Robert Kraft wants to spin it. The team won 4 games because of Bill the coach, and they lost 13 games because of Bill the GM. It was time to go
Bill Belechick simply retired from BOTH.
From what I could tell, Saban only retired so that he could be the primary caretaker of a family member who developed dementia. What a crazy run he did have.
I'm sure the NIL and transfer portal had something to do with it. He's also 72 years old. He is extremely wealthy he would absolutely be able to get top class live in medical support for them if he really wanted to. It's definitely more than that.
@@e2rqey I could definitely see that. Not to be overly blunt, but I feel like NIL is just a legalized version of what SMU used to do, but with sponsorships. Honestly, if I was Saban, I probably would want out as well
Watch his interview with Rece Davis, this definitely isn't true.
As a Texas A&M fan. We have not seen a championship since 1939 & I was stunned when Saban left. As a Patriots fan, I nearly choked up when I saw Belichick and Kraft press conference on thursday
Bill Belichick has been the only Patriots head coach in my entire lifetime. Even though the writing was on the wall for him, it’s still so weird to see a constant in my life finally change. But that’s football/life I guess. Father Time does eventually claim all. And it was one hell of a ride.
Jarrod Mayo is an excellent coach. He'll land on his feet.
@@hagamapamaWas Head Coach Jarod promoted from within the Patriots Organization?
@@annemarieelizabethrosevolo4366yes, he's a Patriots lifer. played for the team in the NFL as well. I've heard it was written into Bills contract that he would be his successor
All things must pass
Kalen DeBoer, step into the inevitable ring of “You’re fucked mainly because you aren’t Nick Saban”
I honestly think Bama moved too quickly. Taking a coach who has only had one great season is risky as hell. I don’t think Bama will go back to what they were in the early 2000s, but they’ll definitely not be in the CFP every damn year.
@@trevinschaerr3732 “Oh no, we only have a NORMAL good coach instead of the greatest coach of all time. The horror!”
@@gauravagochiya4218 Exactly what happened to David Moyes at Manchester United after Alex Ferguson left.
@@trevinschaerr3732may want to check his history. The guy has had a lot more than one good season
@@trevinschaerr3732Not really. In college you have to move quickly or you lose more recruits, have more decommits, and finally have more losses to the transfer portal. It's damage control really.
If you want to know what happened to New Englands drafting look at what is going on in Houston. Collins and Dell being 3rd round studs is the shit New England used to pull all the time but took for granted. Caserio not being there anymore absolutely killed them
Agreed. Bill the GM killed Bill the coach. Look at last years draft....woof
@@KHayes666 Bill the GM just meant he had final say while Caserio actually did all the GM work. There is a reason why Kraft pulled those BS tampering accusations against Houston. He knew that Caserio simply could not be replaced.
Bill was an excellent GM for the first dynasty, but he had an exceptional staff with him to, especially in the front office with Pioli and Caserio that helps. I never understand the flak for his coaching tree either I'm sorry that they don't pan out but to churn that many head coaches in a 20 year period is incredible. Looking at those first 3 Super Bowl teams it's future head coaches everywhere. What should be mentioned more with Bill is not that his tree has been bad, but that his tree produced so much.
@@dylanmeek8759 But that is the real "patriot way", they were so excellent at finding guys who were the best at their positions but just didn't have what it took to get to the next level. Hence the remarkable consistency with their front office. Having Caserio and McDaniels leave really killed any chance they had to be decent in the post-Brady era
@@patrickr3438 That is true in the book It's Better to be Feared which is an excellent book on the era it talked about how Bill made his way in a way it can't be replicated anywhere else.
As a lifelong Bama fan (I'm almost 63) it hit me hard when I heard of Saban"s retirement, but better a little early than too late. I have more respect for Saban than Bryant. Saban didn't get his championships voted in on, his teams earned it on the field whether B(C)S or the CFP. An end to an era, no doubt for all of football when seeing these three guys retire. Godspeed and long term good health to them as well. I'm saying this because Bryant died shortly after his retirement. On to the next generation of NILs, transfer portals and whatnot. And as for the NFL, even the 3rd string QB's were out performing ratings of other top sports. The NFL's strive to parity has paid off. Sports ... the true realiy TV.
In regards to Nick Saban, I am not surprised he decided to retire when he did. I do sense he was starting to "burn out", and because he did remember another legendary Alabama football HC legend, who also had sent on to the NFL many wonderful players, like Coach Saban, Bear Byrant, whom, as you have mentioned, having died too soon after his retirement HC Saban got out at the right time.
No saban just got his championships by paying players
The NIL will kill bama and investigations should arise and remove the tainted champs he got by paying players.
He's at that right age to step away The stress of coaching at 60s and 70s is way too dangerous on your health
It was only after Saban retired, that I learned that Bear was a lifelong alcoholic who had been beginning to miss games the last few years of his tenure and life due to it. The fact that Saban got to go out on his own terms gives me more hope for his prognosis. I can't say I fault the 72 year old man for deciding to leave it behind. There is no doubt who the GOAT coach in the college ranks is: Thank you for the past 17 years, Nick Saban. It's been a fantastic ride for us Alabama fans.
I didn’t realize Saban & The Hoodie coached together in the 90’s in Cleveland. Apparently they also continue to be good friends at that.
I grew up an Auburn fan but I got mad respect for Saban.
The Hoodie’s time with Brady was incredible as well.
Wishing them both all the best moving forward.
Thanks for mentioning Carroll. My Hawks have decided to begin a long and deep rebuild that is long overdue
As a Pats fan, always like Pete, and I will, out of respect, not make any "Win? Nyaah! I'll pass!" jokes. . . .
@@DoctorX101 It took me YEARS to make peace with that moment. I can take some small comfort with Bill leaving the Pats the way he found them, at the bottom of the AFC East.
And Brady's last play was a Pat was a pass to the Titans for pick six
@@ronnickels5193 To a former Patriot.
Tree’s use of the Halo soundtracks in his videos will never not give me a nerdy smile
Fun fact: Last year, the Detroit Lions sent Aaron Rodgers out of Green Bay, this year Michigan sends Nick Saban out of Alabama. Metro Detroit teams really do know how to destroy dynasties.
Anyways, MEESHIGAN WANTHA SUPAH BAWL!!!!!
Also is it TRUE that Michigan WANTS the SB to RETURN to the Ford Field Stadium? Thank-you for your response!
I was born in 2001, one year before the Patriots won their first Super Bowl. For the first 19 years of my life, I was so used to seeing the Evil Empire win no matter what. It took a while to get used to seeing them losing.
Funny thing is Pats fans born before you would never, ever believe the Pats could become an "Evil Empire" or any empire other than what they were: An Empire of Suck. Gives hope to other fan bases, except the Jets, Browns, and Lions of course because we are not crazy.
This is like when George Steinbrenner retired as owner of the Yankees, you will never see success like this ever be replicated again.
The longer we try to avoid change, the harder we run into it.
We often take the path that we fight so hard to avoid
24 years and 6 championship. the greatest football dynasty NFL have ever seen. See you in Canton, Bill.
Belichick, Saban and Carroll where born within a year, wow.
Excellent video 🌳 As a hockey fan I notice this too. The longest tenured coach is Jon Cooper. Crazy not seeing Hitchcock, Babcock, Crawford and others on the sideline.
Agreed, except for Torts and Lavy still hanging on with their nth team. 😬
I am a UCONN Huskies Mens and Womens College Basketball fan for many years, and I remember being HC the legendary Jim Calhoun, whose players helped UCONN EARNED RESPECT BOTH IN THE NCAA AND NBA. Same with the women's HC Geno Aurreonna.
PS: Also earned RESPECT FROM THE WNBA.
Nick Saban leaving is not just an end of an era for Alabama, but for college football itself. The environment on which it sits has changed over the years, for better or for worse (mostly for worse), and seeing him gone is an exclamation point to especially big developments. NIL, the transfer portal, now the death of the Pac-12 and the possible tier split between the Power 2 (yes, you read that right), then the Big 12, then everyone else. Godspeed, you magnificent bastard!
2:13, THANK YOU TREE FOR POINTING THAT OUT!!! I'm a Brady fan who thinks he's the GOAT QB, but I hated this "Belichick is nothing without Brady" narrative!
As someone who grew up in New England and whose first major experience in football was watching the Patriots beat The Greatest Show on Turf, seeing Belichick retire feels so odd to me. Don't get me wrong, it's a necessary move for the Patriots, and it was a mutual parting of ways rather than just Bill getting fired, but to see it happen is so surreal
The Pats' dynasty was kind of like the Tang Dynasty, a powerful dynasty that was split in half before going into a massive decline.
brady and belichick was always a symbiotic relationship. god help the rest of the NFL if he goes to dallas or philly where the roster is already built for him.
very well said on the video Tree. Happy Retirement to both Saban and Belichek
Not sure belichick is quite done just yet. He's still a great coach. just don't give him control over personnel decisions. Give him a proper GM and let him focus on teaching fundamental football and he might have some life in him.
The real interest to me is Steve Belichick. Dad's protegee who has grown into a solid defensive coach in his own right and is probably ready to be a DC somewhere. I wonder if Detroit, who has had a hard-on for Patriots personnel in the past, may kick the tires on Baby Hoodie. Their defense could use the help, and with dad available to be a knowledge resource, Steve may rise to the occasion.
The power of change is inevitable indeed.
Going to be interesting to see what’s next.
We will see them both in the Hall of Fame.
No doubt. Belichick in Canton, Saban in Atlanta.
As a Bama fan it’s tough but this year especially felt like the last one for Nick.
He seemed more tired on the sidelines and less powerful than before. He didn’t seemed a step ahead like he usually was.
And when he told Kirby Smart at the end of the SEC Championship game that he was (too old for this) it all but confirmed it for me that he was done after this year.
This is why I absolutely wanted one last natty this year to send him out at the top of his game but it wasn’t meant to be
Hopefully Deboer leads us to victory in the future but that remains to be seen.
yea sometimes it happens people get old and want to retire Nick Saban is gonna be 73 this year that's really up there in age
The ODST music is such a nice touch, keep up the good stuff ut and go lions!
I don't know who is in charge of the thumbnails, but the Age of Empires 2 design was a divinely inspired choice
THANK YOU HAHA! It's my favorite I've done in a long time
With Saban you knew he was gonna go at some point. To me it feels like the Steelers with Tomlin, if they implode in 1-2 years, which at this point, I see, it’s probably going to be Mike’s end there. For Saban, it’s not that he was stale but he was 72, they struggled to get by Georgia, when they finally did, Blake Croum put the dagger in, and he had problems with the NIL system.
Couldn't keep his recruits because money. I don't particularly like the way NIL has been used so far but yeah it's no place for an old man unfortunately.
How exactly is struggling to beat Georgia a problem? The team had won 29 straight games
"When they finally got by Georgia"??? Saban ends his career 5-1 against Kirby. Over their dominant 3-year run where they went 42-2, Georgia was 1-2 against Alabama.
"They struggled to get by Georgia"? what kind of laughable statement is that?
It can permeate in the NBA too with Poppovich and even Kerr as the Spurs and the Warriors are fading away from playoff contention.
Reminds me of football fans of my age in England when Alex Ferguson left Manchester United. You grew up despising everything about the whole city of Manchester and not just United (City then are not the City of now, they weren't relevant). Now you see what he managed in comparison to his successors and you can't help but respect and marvel at what happened
As Patriots fan, the memory I had were glorious. six Super Bowls, but like all thing sometimes it ends. I agree we need a new voice at the GM and head coach, but Jerod Mayo got a lot of work cut out for the Patriots.
Tree is one of the hardest working CZcamsrs
Being born in 99 in Boston I had the privilege to grow up in possibly the greatest era for a sports city in history. From that day until now, 24-25 years later, I have been able to watch all 4 major sports teams (Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins, and Patriots) win 1 or multiple world championships and become the greatest sports city in America.
One of those reasons was because of Belichick. The man took a team stuck in mediocrity and with the help of the greatest QB to ever play, orchestrated not 1 but 2 dynasties in the same team over multiple eras of professional football
His influence and his appreciation in this city and region will never be forgotten.
As a Patriots fan, thank you Belichick for the memories and Super Bowls!
I used to hate Brady. But now that he's gone, I have nothing but respect for him. He truly is the GOAT.
Hey man as a ravens fan we still have those memories of the best rivalry in football for a good couple years… memories❤
You guys were literally one of the few teams that could beat Brady
I think Bill benefited a LOT as a GM from Brady being a top 5 QB most of his entire career but never really being a top 25 player. That's TONS of extra cap space to work with compared to other teams with franchise QBs
having Nick Caserio helped a lot as well. The Patriots used to be excellent at finding high value picks outside the first round.While Bill had the final sign off, the majority of the actual work was done by Nick Caserio. he was director of player personnel for the Patriots from 2008-2020. And he also used to be an area scout for the Patriots earlier in his career. Since he left, the Patriots no longer seem to have that ability to draft great players even in the later rounds.
Oh and he just so happens to be the GM of the Houston Texans now 🤔 .......what a coincidence.
And Brady benefitted from Belichick’s defenses. Just look at how similar his playoff numbers are to Peyton Manning.
Maybe these legendary coaches find greener pastures beyond the gridiron. Bill Belichick, Nick Sabon, and Pete Carroll were proven winners on the football landscape. They have nothing else more to prove.
Carroll is supposed to stay on in Seattle in the front office but I think Bill & Nick will most likely retire
It's been crazy realizing I'll be able to tell my kids one day about living through the Brady/Belichick era in the NFL and LeBron in the NBA the way my dad told me about the magic of athletes he was in awe of growing up like Unitas, Bird, Jordan, etc.
I might not have liked them when they played against my hometown team, but I've grown to respect the hell out of each of those coaches & their longevity. Future HOFers for sure
The fact Bill’s final game was a loss against the jets in New England is great.
Seeing him miserable in the snow to lose his final home game was a smidge of catharsis
@@Jalreal The game was in the snow too? That’s great considering Bill does great in the snow at home.
That's practically the closest we'll get to a Super Bowl win.
That's practically the closest we'll get to a Super Bowl win.
That's practically the closest we'll get to a Super Bowl win.
As a Georgia fan I have had great respect for Saban for several years now. Especially as more of his personality has come out in recent years, I couldn’t help but see and appreciate just how good of a mentor he was to his players and respect that. So seeing him retire, especially after how close that college football semifinal was, shocked me on another level.
Two hated empires are gone but why am I sad
Their mark on Football history and our childhoods to an extent watching them. They're by far the most successful coaches in the game's 21st century, by the time we blink they'll be headed to Canton, Ohio in pretty much no time.
Stockholm syndrome or something idk lol
Grew up before Belicheck, but I never imagined what it would be like to grow old after him. It just seemed like he'd be around forever, like some immortal football deity. I'm gonna miss him. He's got big shoes to fill, but he left a wide and beautiful path to follow. Godspeed to you, Mayo. Something tells me you're gonna need it. -_-7
As a Michigan fan, I take a whole lot of pride in knowing my Wolverines were the last team to ever give Saban his final loss 💙💛💙💛 #GoBlue
This editing is site my man, props to your editor.
It's not usual to see you doing a reaction-type video, but your work here is as awesome as your longform epics.
I was playing a Saban-led Crimson Tide program and during the season, I thought about how transitioning to a new save would be easiest if Saban retired. I take full responsibility.
I raise a glass 🥃 to Pete. Thank you for everything. You are a legend. Enjoy your self.
*Nick Saben Retires
Alabama: "Oh No! We Suck again!"
The rest of the SEC are jumping for joy like, "🎊🎉🎉🤣🤣😂😂🎉🎉🎊".
4:23 That's one of the many reasons why we love you, Tree. You're a man of the people!
Growing up as a dolphins fan, i hated and despised Bill with a passion I couldn'twait to see him go, yet now I feel incredibly sad to see him go. Watching the old guards I grew up watching, starting to leave the sport i love truly is heartbreaking
As a Raven fan, I have been blessed like the Patriots and Steelers to have such a great coach for so long. And I wouldn't be shocked that if we win the Super Bowl this year, Harbaugh decides to go out on top. I know he's only 61 but considering that they may already have his replacement on their coaching staff, and the fact that there could be plenty of openings at CBS, and FOX shortly, it wouldn't surprise me if he wins a 2nd ring, and then decides to go into broadcasting. I also believe that with much he's had to deal with in terms of dealing with injuries, having to overcome the rumors about Lamar last year, and the fact that Jim Harbaugh is returning to the NFL and he might want to be with family more often may also play a big role in his upcoming decision. But if this is indeed his last ride as the Ravens head coach, I will enjoy it while it lasts. As long as Mike Macdonald continues the proud tradition of the Raven Empire, I'm ok with this.
These 3 have left a legacy that will never be matched. Good luck to them in their futures. Now, we look to a new era.
Its bittersweet seeing all these comments talking about how great of a coach Bill is and im so glad to see that the light the end of his tenure/career brings is respect and admiration, as a patriots fan of 28 years just old enough to remember Toms entry into the leage and the year before growing up with these 2 as role models set the tone for what i thought was possible in life....i could wake up every day knowing it didnt matter who we were playing with 12 and the hoodie i knew there was hope...it was never un entertaining....they were always the Goats in my eyes and knowing i got to treasure it my whole life so far has made these past 4 years hard....seeing change is hard to let go of...its made me feel alot of things and understand more about myself as a person... i didnt know these men but i revered them day in and day out and defended them in the court of public opinion against those jealous of our success...being a patriots fan will always be me no matter where we go from here...Thank you Bill and Tom, for literally everything. And thank you Tree for such a well worded appreciation. Go Pats
I've been a USF Bulls football season ticket member since 2008 and I'm thankful for Alabama playing here in 2023 so I could see Saban in person during his final season. I had no idea I was witnessing history at the time.
Deboer is in for a rude awakening at Alabama. He succeeded being a big fish in a small pond, but much like Sarkisan going to USC I have major doubts he knows what he is in for. Being Cinderella is fun, coaching where a 10-2 record is a failure is not.
All I've ever known since I was introduced to football will Belichek dominating at New England and Saban dominating at Alabama. Suddenly both are gone and it's still surreal. Carroll in Seattle is just another sure thing that's suddenly changed. The whole era of football when I started watching is almost completely gone, and I truly don't know how to feel
I always hated Belichick and those Patriots teams, especially as a Broncos Fan, but looking back, I can't help but be thankful for the greatness we saw. The Hoodies tenure in New England is something the likes of which we may never see again.
I hated them as a Green Bay fan and seeing them get hoed out by the pats made me go in my corner and think about life.
I've been a Patriots fan since 1971. Most of my life the thought of them winning 1 SB was ludicrous. Bill and Tom gave me 20 years of excitement and I doubt I'll ever see anything close to that again. Thank you gentlemen, thank you.
Excellent reference in that thumbnail btw, truly a man of culture
for as much terror they caused in their respective leagues for all the years they were in power, there's nothing but respect to be had for both Saban, and Belichick. Both have earned every right to be in the hall of fame, and both will go down as absolutely legendary coaches who shapes leagues. I wish nothing but the best to both in whatever their futures hold
Yep. The game changes, and legendary coaches often stay current with those changes. The last 10 years have been seen football change so much, it makes my head spin.
Diehard Patriots fan here. Thank you Tree, this was a wonderful send off to the hoodie.
Looking to the future, I can't speak to Alabama but I heard that Jerod Mayo is now the new head coach at New England. Sure it's a bit sudden, but from what I've heard and seen (not to brag, but I used to live where Mayo lives and I've met him before) he should be a good head coach. Probably not Belichick levels of great, but we'll probably be back in the playoffs in a couple of years.
Maybe we can snag Vrabel as an offensive coordinator...
Vrabel is a defensive guy. Hence how he was a former linebacker in the league under Belichick.
@@ChristianDeJesus219 Yeah, that's true, although Vrabel has been in the league long enough to get some experience with offense under his belt and the Titans offense did have some bright spots with him at the helm, mostly Henry (who was always going to be a beast) and Tannehill.
@@112steinway and that was with Arthur Smith as his OC for a majority of that time frame.
Three men who have been at the forefront football for the entire time I have been paying attention to it are now gone. What a way to end an era in one swift stroke. Pete Carroll orchestrated the first perfect season in college football history: being ranked #1 from opening week to the championship game. It was the first season of college football where I actually paid attention to it week to week.. Saban absolutely crushed all comers and reigned supreme for my entire adult life. My team of South Carolina has only ever beaten one number 1 ranked school in its 100+ years of existence and it was Saban's Crimson Tide. And Belichick was winning super bowls from the time I had just entered middle school until I bought my first house a few years back.
And what a friggin thumbnail. Goodnight, kings. I loathed you when y'all were at the top but I respected all of you nonetheless. Monumental achievements that I will likely never see replicated in my lifetime. I'm glad I was here to witness it.
Good thing the Steelers are keeping Tomlin til he dies
"if you watched the patriots at all this year, you regretted it"
they did have that one drive against the bills
Saban might be on College GameDay for a couple of years but then be president of the SEC
The hoodie has drafted more head coaches than 1000 yard receivers
Pete Carroll's Empire ended when he robbed beast mode of a chance to win superbowl mvp.
It is interesting to me that now the two longest tenured coaches in the NFL are both in the AFCN. It's part of the reason the rivalry is so fun.
gotta love the denver/perna jab at the ends
_Jerrod Mayo and Kalen DeBoer will now have two of the hardest coaching jobs in all of pro sports._
I feel more sorry for whoever has to coach Washington next.
This is the biggest example of: good things don't last forever. You never know what you had until it's gone. The ride is over, but at least we got to go on a ride at all. - Pats fan
NFL Films presents Football: A History with Bill Belichick, a weekly study of what came before.
I never thought I would live to see the day where the Bill Belichick era in NE would finally be over. Imo, when i saw that Bill would no longer be the head coach for the Patriots, that truly signaled the end of the Brady-Belichick era for NE. And tbh, I don't know what to feel. Happy that the era that pissed off every single football fan is finally over, or sad that a dynasty that happens once in a blue moon is now a thing of the past.
Right now, i honestly feel empty. I can't be the only one feeling like this.
It is a great day for football 🏈
Funny how an NFL news video makes me want to play Halo 3: ODST.
UT with the ever-tasteful music choices.
And Andy Reid isn't too far away from the retirement
I'm still amazed that Josh fucking McDaniels of all coaches was able to get the best out of Little Mac.
everything comes to an end at some point. Jus pure respect for what these two did and not jus for their teams but for the sport as a whole. Good Travels in life after football whatever your endeavors are have alot of success in them gentleman.
Kalen DeBoer is the name you're looking for there, Tree for taking over Alabama football
In an age where coaches and youtubers alike that we are accustomed too, leaving their respective scenes suddenly it reminds me of a Stanza from a poem.
Smart lad, to slip betimes away
From fields where glory does not stay,
And early though the laurel grows
It withers quicker than the rose.
- *To An Athlete Dying Young*
I guess you really do either die the hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villan.
Another empire came to an end as Klay Thompson is leaving the Warriors to sign with the Mavericks.
Ngl I was waiting for at least one Star Wars reference for the BB part 😮😭
