Bill Belichick Defended by McCourty, Harrison After Depiction in 'The Dynasty' Series

Former New England Patriots stars Devin McCourty and Rodney Harrison aren't happy with how Bill Belichick was portrayed in Apple TV+'s The Dynasty series.

Speaking with ProFootballTalk, Harrison was the first to bring up the fact that The Dynasty didn't do a good job of showing just how instrumental Belichick was to New England's success for decades.

Harrison said:

"They act like the last three or four years because the Patriots have struggled that Bill can't coach. Bill made some mistakes and he wasn't always the nicest or the purest guy, but at the end of the day, he always did whatever he had to do to make the team better."

"... He gives guys who are the underdog an opportunity. No one talks about that. When everybody else is done with a guy, he brings in a Corey Dillon, he brings in a Randy Moss, he brings in a Rodney Harrison."

"I just don't think that he got enough credit, enough respect, enough props. Man, this dude is the greatest coach of all time."

McCourty also brought up the fact that Belichick gave Malcolm Butler a chance as an undrafted free agent and "tryout guy."

Belichick may have been heavily criticized since Tom Brady's departure given New England's lack of success, but that's not entirely his fault, and he remains one of the greatest coaches in NFL history.

The 71-year-old led the Patriots to nine AFC championships and six Super Bowl titles during his tenure. That type of success may never be matched again, unless the Kansas City Chiefs can continue their current run under Andy Reid.
