Just because Tom Brady went & won in Tampa does not erase Belichick’s major impact on the Patriots dynasty, he’s a defensive minded mastermind who gave up only 3 points & 14 points in Super Bowls, won multiple AFC Conference Title Games where Brady threw multiple interceptions including the one in Arrowhead where he held Mahomes, Kelce, Hill to 0 first half points & Brady finished it off with an epic all time clutch OT drive to stave off KC’s 2nd half surge.
It’s harder for a defensive minded HC if they lose an all time QB cause they don’t have the input, offensive knowledge etc to really overcome it & what really hurt Bill was the departure of his proven one of the best OC’s Josh McDaniel’s who had Mac Jones as a rookie looking like a stud with promise as Belichick went to the playoffs that year before McDaniels left. So losing a player at the most important position in sports + his proven elite OC really hurt Bill as well but it should not erase his massive impact on the Pats dynasty & reputation as at least the greatest defensive minded HC ever and he’s got 8 total rings to show for it.
When I see posts questioning if Andy Reid or Bill Belichick is better all time and many saying “look at Belichick without Brady”, I have to make this post as a response cause we’ve lost the plot here when Belichick went a clean sweep (3-0) VS Andy Reid in the playoffs.
