Dalton Miller of Pro Football Network called Bill Belichick the best head coach in the NFL heading into 2021 on Sunday. A year ago at this time, this would have been universally accepted as fact as the Patriots won six championships [so far] under his tutelage. His team finished 7-9 in 2020 — the same record as the Minnesota Vikings — without Tom Brady during the pandemic season.
All Brady did was win a Super Bowl in Tampa Bay, without Belichick, allotting the 43-year-old quarterback the utmost respect worldwide.
Belichick’s stock took a teensy hit because the curtain was peeled back, so to speak, inferring that perhaps Brady was the breadwinner for New England’s championships.
