In a tongue-in-cheek manner, Bill Belichick suggested that the Lombardi Trophy should be renamed after future Hall of Famer Tom Brady. Belichick was speaking with sportscaster Jim Gray on the “Let’s Go!
Belichick" debate to bed when the legendary quarterback left the New England Patriots and immediately won a Super Bowl in his first season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Bill Belichick is without a doubt one of the best coaches in NFL history,
“I mean, it’s [Tom] Brady, it’s [Willie] McGinest, it’s [Mike] Vrabel, it’s [Tedy] Bruschi, it’s Corey Dillon, it’s Randy Moss, Troy Brown, Lawyer Malloy, Ty Law, Rodney Harrison. Those are guys that won the games, man. I didn’t make any tackles. I didn’t make any kicks. That was [Adam] Vinatieri that made that kick in four inches of snow.
During his latest appearance on the “Let’s Go!” Podcast with Jim Gray, Belichick stressed that most of the credit for championships should be given to the players.
