There has been a lot of chatter surrounding the relationship between New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady over the last couple of years, with some questioning whether or not the long-time comrades actually get along.
During an appearance on Duke Blue Devils head coach Mike Krzyzewski's Sirius XM radio show, Belichick put all of that talk to rest, saying that his relationship with Brady is just fine:
“I think Tom and I have spent a lot of time building that philosophy, understanding what we’re each thinking in certain situations, so when they come up, he can anticipate what I want to do [and] I can anticipate what he’d like to do,” said Belichick, per Nicole Yang of The Boston Globe. “We try to get the best thing. I’d say we both work at it.”
Belichick then praised Brady's preparation and said that he and the 41-year-old signal-caller share the same common goals:
“There’s some things that he sees that I just don’t see, and I think the reverse is true,” Belichick said. “I love football. I love learning about football. I think Tom is the same. I think we’ve learned from each other, and we’ve been able to grow together. I think it’s a thriving relationship that never gets old.”
The duo has won six Super Bowl championships together, most recently defeating the Los Angeles Rams in early February.
This past season was a trying one for the Patriots, as they faced incessant doubt from media and fans alike, but New England went on to prove everyone wrong in the playoffs.
And let's be honest: it wouldn't be the least bit surprising to see the Pats do it all again next season.
