The 1999 New England Patriots season was the franchise's 30th season in the National Football League and the 40th overall. They finished with an 8–8 record and tied for fourth place in the division. They did not qualify for the playoffs.
In May, the Patriots announced their intention to pull out of a publicly financed stadium deal in Hartford, Connecticut, and instead work towards building a privately financed new stadium. This became the Gillette Stadium at the site of the existing Foxboro Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.[1] The Patriots came into the 1999 season without second-year running back Robert Edwards due to a serious knee injury, after rushing for over 1,100 yards in 1998.[2] Taking Edwards' place were veteran Terry Allen and rookie Kevin Faulk, but neither player was able to eclipse 1,000 yards rushing and overall the Patriots' rushing offense was 23rd in the NFL. After beginning the season with a 6–2 record the team slowed down and finished 8–8, missing the playoffs for the first time since 1995. Following the season finale third year head coach Pete Carroll was fired,[3] while vice president of player personnel Bobby Grier was retained until the 2000 NFL Draft.[4] This would be the Patriots' last season without Bill Belichick until 2024.
