The New England Patriots and legendary head coach Bill Belichick parted ways this week after 24 long seasons and that has Chandler Jones feeling some type of way.

Jones, who was selected by Belichick out of Syracuse at No. 21 overall in the 2012 NFL Draft, was so emotional after his former coach’s departure that he decided to write a song about it.

We’ll give Jones an ‘A’ for effort but he should stick to his day job.

Although Jones’ debut single probably isn’t something you’re going to bump when you roll through the hood, the “Tennessee Whiskey” parody did have a few amusing lines.

“Bill Belichick, oh how I miss you,” Jones sang. “I just wanna kiss you. They just got rid of you.”

Jones also referenced two infamous scandals involving the Patriots — Deflategate and Spygate — blaming them on parties other than Belichick. Most notably, pinning Deflategate on Tom Brady in a tongue-in-cheek fashion.

Jones, whose NFL career likely came to an end after being released by the Las Vegas Raiders following a September arrest, credits Belichick for making him the man he’s become.

We’re not entirely sure Belichick wants to take credit for that.
