Bill Belichick reveals the only thing he hates more than the Jets

When thinking about the biggest list of New York Jets villains in the 21st century, former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has to be at the top of the list.

Sure, Tom Brady tormented the Jets for nearly 20 years, but Belichick was calling the shots from the sidelines, and even infamously left New York without a coach after backing out of an agreement with the organization in the wake of Bill Parcells' retirement.

The former Jets defensive coordinator had a 38-12 record against his old team, but after leaving New England, he ended up in the collegiate ranks, coaching the North Carolina Tar Heels.

Over the last quarter-century, Belichick has made it clear that he has a certain level of disdain for the Jets and owner Woody Johnson. But is there something out there in the world he hates more than Gang Green?

Bill Belichick hates coffee more than the Jets

In a podcast appearance on Pardon My Take, Belichick spoke candidly about how much he hates coffee, and co-host Dan Katz asked the future Hall of Fame coach which he dislikes more: the beverage or the Jets.

Shockingly, Belichick landed on coffee.

"Remember: Undefeated, unscored on, head coach of the New York Jets twice, never lost a game, never gave up a point."

It's true, Belichick was named head coach of the Jets twice, once in 1997 while Parcells was still trying to escape from New England, and in 2000 after the legendary head coach retired.

Belichick has always cited the Jets' murky ownership transition as the reason why he didn't stick around in New York, and has since taken every opportunity to take a jab at New York when possible.

But this time, he decided to play nice, and it could be because Belichick knows that if he ever wants to get back into the NFL, he may need to start playing nice with owners.

In 2024, months after the Jets fired Robert Saleh, Belichick reportedly reached out to New York's brass, trying to get a feel for their interest in bringing him on as head coach.

If things with the Tar Heels don't work out, the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach may be looking to get another crack at the NFL, and making fun of one of your potential employers doesn't really sound like a good step in the process of relationship building.
