Bill Belichick and Tom Brady had the best run of any coach and quarterback in NFL history, winning six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots. Now, as Belichick’s time leading the New England Patriots comes to a close, Brady made it clear just how much he respects Belichick and how much his former coach means to him.
In a message he posted on Instagram last week, Tom Brady heaped praise on Bill Belichick, declaring him the best coach in NFL history.
“I’m incredibly grateful to have played for the best coach in the history of the NFL,” Tom Brady wrote on Instagram.
“He was a great leader for the organization, and for all of the players who played for him. We accomplished some amazing things over a long period of time, many of which will be hard to replicate. he worked every day to help us achieve the ultimate goal, in the ultimate team sport. And, although we were successful, some of the greatest lessons I learned were in the moments where we faced the most challenging adversities. He set the tone for the organization to never falter in the face of adversity, and to do what we could do, and what was in our control, which was to go out and DO OUR JOB.
“I could never have been the player I was without you Coach Belichick. I am forever grateful. And I wish you the best of luck in whatever you choose next.”
It’s pretty noteworthy of Brady to come out and declare Belichick the greatest coach in NFL history, and the NFL world had a lot to say about it on social media.
Tom responded to a question recently about what Bill meant to him as a player (or something) and he said “everything” and you could hear the emotion in his voice. Just look at how many QBs have been messed up by bad coaching – Tom knows he was lucky to have Bill, and vice versa

Facts… They were the perfect match. Bill needed someone like Tom to by into his plan and sell it to other players. He did and they have the best dynasty in football history.

he continued, "your cheating ways helped me excel beyond my wildest dreams and when I got into the cheating act too, well let's just say we made history".

We’ll have to see where Belichick goes next.
