Bill Belichick’s Reaction To Andrew Luck’s Retirement Announcement

Head coach Bill Belichick doesn’t really pay too much attention to things outside Foxboro. There’s a huge possibility that he missed Andrew Luck’s retirement announcement.

The Patriots head coach was asked for his reaction to Luck’s retirement.

“He’s a good player,” Belichick said. “I didn’t see that, but I haven’t really — I don’t really follow them. We all have to make our decisions. He made his. I respect it.” 

It’s funny how Belichick reacts to big news. But, we also know that the man is into winning Super Bowls.

The whole retirement announcement thing broke on Twitter, and ESPN’s Adam Schefter was the first to report it. Belichick doesn’t like social media, so that’s the answer to your questions.

This reaction is as shocking as the reaction Colts fans had after the announcement. The crowd booed luck despite his success for the team.

“Sad to see people hate on Luck like that! keep that same energy both ways tho… Hell Yeahh luck! You a beast!! now go enjoy growing your beard in peace,” Kyle Van Noy wrote.

“Fans… we are human. I know you love your teams, but try to understand someone’s story. I feel bad for Andrew Luck who’s done more than any of us can imagine to get healthy, getting booed at his home crowd.”

Luck made an emotional statement regarding his retirement.

“It’s been four years of this injury-pain rehab cycle, I can’t live the life I want to live moving forward … I feel quite exhausted and quite tired,” Luck said. “I know I am unable to pour my heart and soul into this position … and it’s sad, but I also have a lot of clarity in this.

“This is not an easy decision. Honestly it’s the hardest decision of my life. But it is the right decision for me. I’ve been stuck in this process. I haven’t been able to live the life I want to live. Taken the joy out of this game and after 2016 when I played in pain and was unable to regularly practice, I made a vow to myself that I would never go down that path again. I find myself in a similar situation and the only way for me is to remove myself from football and this cycle I’ve been in. I’ve come to the proverbial fork in the road and I made the vow to myself that if I ever entered this situation again, I would choose the innocence. 

“My wife and I are so proud when people ask us where we’re from. We say Indianapolis … I want to thank football for so many moments in my life. It’s the greatest team sport in the world.”
