1 day.

Bill Parcells stepped down as head coach of the Jets after the 1999 season and Belichick was named the new head coach, as his contract stated he would become head coach should Parcells retire. At the press conference the next day to officially announce Belichick as new head coach he unexpectedly offered his resignation, stating uncertainly in management because of a new owner (yet unannounced after the passing of Leon Hess) as a main factor.

Ironically (or maybe not), the Patriots fired head coach Pete Carroll the same day and shortly thereafter named Belichick as their head coach.
