Bill Belichick and Tom Brady were the leaders of the golden era of the New England Patriots, winning the Super Bowl six times. An impressive achievement that placed them as the best head coach-player duo in history.

Despite this, the relationship did not end in the best way when Belichick thought it was time to establish Jimmy Garoppolo as his successor. Brady left Foxborough and won another championship with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Now, time has healed almost all those wounds, and both have publicly shown on several occasions the respect and admiration they have for each other. Bill Belichick has done it again in a surprising statement.

“Maybe they should name it the Brady Trophy. He won seven of them. You got to have good players and, as a coach, you want to give your players a chance to win. You want to put them in a position where if they go out there and play well, they’ll have a chance to win. That’s what Coach Parcells taught me. There’s always a way to win. You just got to figure out what it is and you have to give the players a chance. Players win games. I don’t care who the coach is. It’s impossible. You can’t win without good players.”
