The former Patriots head coach shared his thoughts on coaches vs players on the Let’s Go! podcast this week

During his appearance on the Let’s Go! podcast on SiriusXM this week, former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick shared some takes on what makes winning teams so successful. The longtime coach did not hesitate to give all the credit to the players, which might come as a surprise to some.

“Players win games. You can’t win games without good players,” Belichick said. “I don’t care who the coach is, it’s impossible.” He went on to credit some of the great players he’s coached over the years with various teams including Lawrence Taylor, Tedy Bruschi, and of course, Tom Brady, as the reason for his success as a head coach.

Jim Gray, lead host of the show, added, “They don’t name it the Starr trophy, it’s named the Lombardi Trophy.”

Belichick smiled and said, “Maybe they should name it the Brady trophy. He’s won seven of them.”

"They don't name it the Starr Trophy. They name it the Lombardi Trophy."

"Maybe they should name it the Brady Trophy."

Now, I know it was said mostly in jest, but let’s get one thing straight, the Lombardi Trophy should never be renamed. This is from my totally unbiased opinion as a completely neutral third-party and just all-around NFL fan (just call me Rob Lowe **).

But in all seriousness, Vince Lombardi won 5 NFL championships in 7 years, including a 3-peat (despite the NFL wanting us to forget it ever happened ) that includes the first two Super Bowls. Lombardi also has the 3rd highest winning percentage of all time, behind Guy Chamberlain and John Madden. In summary, the Lombardi Trophy already has the perfect name.

As for the coach versus player debate, the true answer is probably that neither has the biggest impact. We’ve seen great coaches across the league fall flat when given a bad roster, and great players struggle without a good coach. Finding the perfect balance between the two is where the magic happens, and sometimes, that might not even be enough.

**I’m sorry for any damage I’ve caused for bringing that game up.

Vince Lombardi was able to win the Championship 3 times in a row, Brady never did.

Now, I'm hoping the Title isn't renamed for Andy Reid or Patrick Mahomes.

Belichick is clearly suffering from CTE

dfosterf (1h) : from ft Belvoir, Quantico and points south. Somber reminder of this tragedy at Reagan Nat Airport

dfosterf (1h) : So eerily quiet here in Alexandria. I live in the flight path of commercial craft coming from the south and west, plus the military craft

dfosterf (1h) : So eeri

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?

beast (6h) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (6h) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

beast (9h) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Chiefs again huh? I guess another Super Bowl I'll be finding something else to do.

Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : Chiefs Eagles...again...sigh

dfosterf (27-Jan) : Happy Birthday Dave!

Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : happy birthday dhazer

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Exactly buck...Washington came up with the ball. It is just a shitty coincidence one week later

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : I forgot, they corrected the call a week later. Lol btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY dhazer!

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Eagles down by contact on the fumble....fuck you NFL

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : I think this games over

beast (26-Jan) : Eagles sure get a lot of fumbles on kickoffs

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : This game looks too big for Washington

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : that being said, The Ravens are the Browns

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : Browns, Dolphins have longest AFC Championship droughts

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : As of today, Cowboys have longest NFC Championship drought,

beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)

beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab

Zero2Cool (25-Jan) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!

beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.
