Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick touched on Jerod Mayo being fired by the team, but ended harkening back to his final seasons in Foxboro in the process.

According to a new report from The Athletic, former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick reportedly "withdrew" from his staff and those he perceived as disloyal to him during his final season in New England, the outlet reported Wednesday.

The long-time Patriots coach said that it was Robert Kraft’s decision to oust his successor, but once again pointed to a Jonathan Kraft and Robyn Glaser having the owner’s ear. Belichick then added that he believed a “shared vision” was key to his success in New England, but said it evaporated during his final four seasons.
