Similarly, Jones is said to have felt disrespected by Belichick’s inability to assemble a competent offensive coaching staff.
In a recent interview, Jones seemingly confirmed that their relationship had its challenges but added that they are now focused on a fresh start.
“I think we’re good,” Jones said, via MassLive’s Karen Guregian. “The big thing we talked about was having a fresh start.”

However, the team has only achieved a winning record once since Tom Brady’s departure, placing significant pressure on Belichick, Jones, and the Patriots to succeed in a more competitive AFC East.
