The legacy of Tom Brady’s GOAT status didn’t happen overnight. It was built on years of sweat, teamwork, and a constant hustle that defined the Patriots as ‘The Dynasty’. At the heart of the invincibility was the duo of Brady and Bill Belichick, a combination that earned six Super Bowl wins. However, as chirps of tension between the two made headlines later, their partnership eventually came to an end. To this day, what intrigues the fans is their equation, and what led to their ultimate breakup.
Emmy-winning documentarian and director of ‘The Dynasty: New England Patriots‘, Matthew Hamachek, recently shared his insights into the Brady-Belichick relationship. In his time on ‘The Rick Eisen Show‘, he reflected on their split in 2019, while also voicing his support for Belichick’s approach towards Brady, despite the latter’s GOAT status.
“You know what if Bill just put his arm around Tom and said you know you’re the greatest of all time…I love you…blah blah blah blah blah and all this kind of stuff?” questioned Matthew Hamachek.
Extending his support for Bill Belichick’s professionalism and appreciation for serving his role well, Hamachek noted,
“I’m in Bill Belichick’s shoes…like why would I do that? Why would I change this thing that worked really really well? And what if he had changed it too early, and they hadn’t won the six Super Bowls because of that?”
Hamachek delved into the potential scenario of Belichick’s tried-and-tested approach while backing his formula wholeheartedly. Rather than showering Tom Brady with praise, Belichick’s tough-love approach stayed consistent. While acknowledging Belichick’s heavy hand as a coach, Hamachek vouches for his decision to uphold the Patriot Way.
