Bill Belichick truly loved his time as head coach of the New England Patriots. 

And he made sure to let the fans know, writing a full-page message in the Boston Globe on Sunday. 

Belichick led New England to six Super Bowl titles during an incredible career in New England, but he and Robert Kraft mutually agreed to part ways following 24 years together. 

Here is what he wrote: 

To Patriots fans everywhere,

Nowhere in America are pro sports fans as passionate as in New England and for 24 years, I was blessed to feel your passion and power. The Patriots are the only NFL team representing SIX states but in reality, Patriots Nation knows no borders.

You were undaunted by weather, attended scorching hot training camp practices and braved Foxborough’s coldest, wettest, snowiest and windiest days.

Your thoughtful letters offered support, critique and creative play suggestions. You watched on TV, the internet, and from your stadium seats.

You traveled from coast to coast and internationally. Numerous times you overtook opposing stadiums and were the last fans standing. We loved it! You gave your precious time, resources, and energy to our team. We appreciated it!

Six times, you packed Boston by the millions for parades that were truly a two-way expression of gratitude and love. The images from those days are burned in my memory.

You may even have enjoyed my fashion sense and press conferences, or maybe you just tolerated them.

I loved coaching here and together we experienced some amazing moments.

THANK YOU ALL.

With respect and admiration.

Bill Belichick
