After his stint with the New York Giants, Bill Belichick was hired by the Cleveland Browns to be their new head coach. He was the head coach of the Browns from 1991 until 1995 and he compiled a record of 36-44.

In November 1995, Cleveland Browns owner Art Modell announced that he would move the franchise to Baltimore after the season. Despite having assurances that he would remain as the team’s head coach, Belichick was instead fired on February 14, 1996.

He then joined the New England Patriots where he served under Bill Parcells once again as the team’s assistant head coach and defensive backs coach for the 1996 season. The Patriots reached the Super Bowl, but they lost to the Green Bay Packers.

However, on Jan. 4, 2000, when Belichick was introduced to the media as the new head coach, he turned it into a resignation announcement. This was because the New England Patriots had already hired him to be their new head coach.

After his hiring, Patriots owner Robert Kraft gave near-complete control over the team’s football operations. This made him New England’s general manager on top of the head-coaching duties.
