Bill Belichick was the host of Jim Gray in his podcast “Let's Go!” ». The opportunity for the two men to return to the real impact of coaches on their teams. And for the former Patriots coach, there is no doubt that the players who are behind the successes were above all.
“The players win the matches. You can't win without having good players. I don't care who is the coach, it's just impossible. I really did it when I was at the Giants, ”he said according to ESPN. “It was like Cleveland and then after in New England. They are Brady, Truebel, Moss … they were the ones who won the matches. I did not tackle. I did not shoot any kick. It was Adam (Vinatieri) who scored in 10 centimeters of snow. »»
And when Bill Belichick talks about how to win, we listen to him. In total, North Carolina's new coach won eight Super Bowls. Six as the Patriots' main coach and two as a coordinator at the Giants. But if he praises his players, he does not pretend that the coaches are useless.
“You must have good players and give them a chance to win. You have to put them in a position where from the moment they play well, they have a chance to win. It was coach (Bill) plots that taught me, there is always a way of winning. Your role is to find what it is. And then you give your players a chance. »»
Soon the 'Tom Brady Trophy' for the Winner of the Super Bowl?
The discussion then derived on the name of the current Super Bowl trophy, the Lombardi Trophy. He was appointed in honor of Vince Lombardi, mythical coach of packers. Originally appointed “World Professional Football Championship”, he took the name of the coach of Green Bay in 1971, to honor his memory following his death in the previous September. Jim Gray notably pointed out to Belichick that the trophy was called “Lombardi Trophy” and not “Bart Starr Trophy” (his quarterback to Green Bay during the first two titles). The opportunity to leave Bill Belichick Dubitative.
” I don't know. They should call it the 'Brady Trophy'. He won seven, ”he justified.
And the argument can be understood. With seven clock rings, Tom Brady is the most successful player in the history of the NFL. He has six rings with Belichick and the Patriots and one with the Buccaneers. He also has another record with five superb MVP titles. But the name of the 'Lombardi Trophy' is well rooted in the culture and history of the NFL. It is therefore unlikely to see the league make a change in the immediate future. But if ultimately the subject comes on the table, there is no doubt that Tom Brady is a big favorite.
