Bill Belichick made a power play that only he could make.
Belichick has been in the headlines a lot lately, even though he has been out of work since parting ways with the New England Patriots.
A recent report from ESPN indicated that Patriots owner Robert Kraft may have played a pivotal role in Belichick not becoming the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons.
And questions remain regarding Belichick’s future in the NFL, with some believing he will no longer be a head coach.
What can’t be questioned is Belichick’s NFL pedigree.
He has 302 career victories, including 266 wins during a 24-year span with the Patriots, and is widely recognized as one of the greatest coaches in football history.
To some, Belichick – like Tom Brady – is known simply as the GOAT.
With questions and rumors surrounding the 72-year-old ex-Pat, Belichick makes the media rounds and offers expert insight into the NFL Draft process.
During a recent appearance on the Pat McAfee show, Belichick spoke while several decorations floated in the background.
Before the Zoom era, objects may not have been scrutinized.
But in 2024, it was impossible to ignore the shiny objects in Belichick’s backfield.
There was six Super Bowl Trophies.
It was a perfect reminder from Belichick that even though rumors swirl and anonymous reports come out, he knows more about the NFL than anyone alive and is known as a GOAT for a reason.
There are NFL coaches.
Then there’s Belichick.
“Having all six Super Bowl trophies as an experience is an all time flex, lol,” one fan tweeted.
“I’ve never seen him so happy, I’m glad the GOAT is doing well,” posted a second fan.
