Bill is an employee too. Two employees couldn’t work together. The team/owner chose to let go of the employee that would have helped the team much more. Why is this so hard to understand?
If you’re happy with the decision, and think “it worked out for both sides” then, again, you’re confusing Patriots fandom with Belichick fandom. They’re not the same thing. The Patriots were a dynasty, and now they’re not, and it’s primarily due to a bad decision that could have been prevented.
A real Patriots fan would demand answers and accountability, rather than celebrating (like a fool) that Belichick doesn’t owe any explanations as he stonewalls and covers his own ass. He should have owed explanations and should be accountable, just as he should have been numerous times in previous years including kicking off in OT against the Jets in 2015, throwing away HFA in 2015 and saying it barely mattered, the fiasco of SB52, failing to placate Gronk to the point of retirement, many poor drafts under Caserio, making excuses last year, blaming non-existent ”all-in years”, etc.
