Bill Belichick criticizes ‘The Dynasty’ docuseries for being a ‘roast’

Bill Belichick may have been Mr. Media in his one year off from coaching, but that doesn’t mean he loves everything he was featured in.

The Dynasty: New England Patriots on Apple TV+ received a lot of positive reviews when it premiered earlier this year, but not from Belichick. And 10 months after its release, Belichick still seems a little annoyed by some of the documentary’s portrayals, which he made clear during his appearance on The Pat McAfee Show this week.

“You and Tom Brady having that meeting weekly is kinda like, legendary,” McAfee told Belichick Monday afternoon. “There are shots from Do You Job I, Do You Job II, Do You Job III, I don’t know how many of those documentaries we have.”

The former Patriots coach quickly informed McAfee there was no sequel to the first Do Your Job documentary, which isn’t accurate. There were three Do Your Job documentaries following the 2014, 2016 and 2018 seasons. But McAfee may have been confusing Do Your Job with A Football Life: Bill Belichick, of which there is only one. Regardless of whichever film they were intending to talk about, Belichick made it clear there is only one documentary he has no interest in discussing.

“The other documentary as you remember is a roast, I wouldn’t count that one,” Belichick said, garnering a hearty laugh out of The Pat McAfee Show cast.

That other documentary Belichick was referring to is undoubtedly The Dynasty. Belichick made a similar quip during an actual roast of Brady earlier this year. “It’s an honor to be for The Roast of Tom Brady on Netflix,” he said during the special. “It’s not to be confused with the roast of Bill Belichick during the 10-part Apple TV+ series.”

Despite leading the Patriots to six Super Bowl championships, some believed The Dynasty attempted to portray Belichick in too much of a negative light, especially compared to Brady and Robert Kraft. Count Belichick among the doc’s detractors. But he isn’t alone, several ex-Patriots players were similarly critical of the way series highlighted their former head coach. Belichick, however, was able to overcome the somewhat negative portrayal by opening up to the media this football season, before ultimately landing his next coaching gig at the University of North Carolina.
