Linda Holliday, the girlfriend of New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, responded to criticism from a fan who blamed Belichick for Tom Brady's departure earlier this year.
Holliday shared a post with several photos reflecting the past year to her Instagram account on January 1, along with a long caption. On Tuesday, 19 days after the post was initially shared, one fan commented, "Too bad Bill let Tom go!"
The response came just two days after Brady's new team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, advanced to the NFC Championship Game, while his former team missed the playoffs for the first time since 2008.
