Bill Belichick has broken his silence on Tom Brady’s retirement. As a man of few words, it was never clear if Bill Belichick would release a statement or wait to be asked by reporters about Tom Brady’s retirement. We even half-joked about Belichick’s non-statement statement here on BroBible, but Bill has finally spoken up and his words for Tommy are excellent.
In just six sentences, Belichick shows so much emotion he manages to repeat himself. Bill also refers to Tom Brady as the ‘best player in NFL history’ aka the G.O.A.T. which isn’t even up for debate at this point. Tom’s numbers are unimpeachable.
Bill Belichick’s Statement On Tom Brady’s Retirement
“I am privileged to have drafted and coached Tom Brady, the ultimate competitor and winner. Tom’s humble beginning in professional football ultimately ended with him becoming the best player in NFL history. Tom consistently performed at the highest level against competition that always made him the number one player to stop. His pursuit of excellence was inspirational. Tom was professional on and off the field, and carried himself with class, integrity, and kindness. I thank Tom for his relentless pursuit of excellence and positive impact on me and the New England Patriots for 20 years.”
The ultimate competitor.

Mark it down. February 2nd, 2022. The day that Bill Belichick called Tom Brady the ‘best player in NFL history’.
Tom saw Bill Belichick’s statement and responded in kind, calling Bill the ‘Greatest Coach in NFL History’ which is also accurate. There will never be another duo like them.
