Bill Belichick 4th Most Popular Coach While Pats Have 2nd Worst Record in the NFL

Author Beasley Media Editorial

Wow! This new study is enough to bring an almost smile to the face of Bill Belichick just in time for the holidays. Gambling.com just revealed the results of a new study looking at the NFL’s most popular coaches and Bill Belichick took home 4th place!

The study looked at the number of Google searches each NFL coach received over the past year. Belichick accounted for over 110k searches. It seems a little ironic that Bill Belichick was found to be the 4th most popular coach at a moment in time where the Patriots have the 2nd worst record in the entire NFL and the worst record the Patriots have had in a long time. Right now this season is tracking as the Patriots 5th worst season ever. That’s almost as bad of news as this story about giant spiders invading Massachusetts soon.

But… Bill Belichick has a long, long history of winning in New England so it’s no wonder we have a love for the grumpy, frumpy Bill. He helped bring us a lot of joy over the years as coach.

If you’re curious who beat Bill, in 1st place is the Denver Broncos’ Sean Payton (251k searches), while Miami Dolphins’ head coach Mike McDaniel (201k searches) took home 2nd, and Nick Sirianni from the Philadelphia Eagles came in 3rd. All data was collected on December 7th 2023.

Speaking of Patriots fandom and NOT being fairweather, I thought it’d be interesting to run down some big Hollywood actors and actresses who consider themselves Patriots fans. Just like we feel some sort of connection with Bill Belichick (though I realize that’s being tested this season for many of you), maybe this list will help add a few titles to your streaming watch list. Gotta support a fellow Patriots fan!!!

8 Celebrities Who Are New England Patriots Fans

  • 1. Scotty McCreery

    Scotty has long professed his love for our Pats! What’s a guy from North Carolina doing supporting a New England NFL team? It’s in his blood. His father is from the Kittery area of Maine, and instilled the love of New England sports into his son. We are so happy to see Scotty is passing his passion onto his family. From his dog to his unborn son.

    He fed his dog, Moose, on a healthy diet of Patriots football from just a young pup.

    Baby McCreery -to-be is getting a little extra help becoming a fan from the Kraft family.

    Baby’s first jersey!!!

  • 2. Ben Affleck

    Well, you knew this name was coming. We all know Jennifer Lopez’s new hubby grew up in Cambridge. We’ve seen him at many a Red Sox game. But, of course the Academy Award winning actor is also a Patriots fan. He has tried to pass on his love to his children, but as Ben Affleck told Jimmy Kimmel back in 2019, his son isn’t having it, because, “he’s from LA.” Fast forward this video to about 3:34 and see what Ben did to his son’s room. Side note: As you would expect, Ben’s good friend, and Good Will Hunting co-star/co-writer, and former Cambridge resident, Matt Damon is also a big Patriots fan.

  • 3. Elizabeth Banks

    The comedic actress and host of Press Your Luck also lives in a house divided. Banks grew up in Pittsfield, MA. She is one of 4 siblings, and her dad worked for GE, her mom worked in a bank, all of whom are Patriots fans.

     

  • 4. Chris Evans

    Captain America loves the Patriots. Chris Evans was born in Boston and grew up in Sudbury, MA. He is also from a big family of Patriots fans, one of 4 siblings of a denist dad and Concord Youth Theater artistic director mom! He even showed up in the Patriots locker room back in 2017.

  • Jon Bon Jovi

    You expect rocker Steven Tyler to be a Pats fan. He started his band in Boston. But Jon Bon Jovi is a Jersey boy, through and through. Over the years, his friendship with Patriots owner Robert Kraft has given him a sweet seat at games. He even gave the Pats permission to use a Bon Jovi song during games. You occasionnally hear “This is Our House” at Gillette Stadium. But as he shows in the Instagram post, he has been a fan for much longer.

     

     

  • 6. Mindy Kaling

    Like Ben, Mindy Kaling grew up in Cambridge. The Office actress also earned her degree at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. So, yeah…New England through and through. She has tried to instill her love of the Patriots to her daughter, but apparently it’s not working.
