I grew up in Boston and have been a Pats fan for my entire 52 years. With that said, the best thing about this interview, is that the rest of the country now understands why we love Bill. We totally understand the way he comes across to everyone....rude, grumbling, snorting, hates the media, never smiles.....etc..etc. But we here in Boston know who he really is, and this is exactly him. He is happiest on his boat in Nantucket, is a great father, has a very wry and witty sense of humor, and is very charitable to all the area organization. The reporters who cover the team, often write about his impromptu lectures he gives the press regarding the history of a particular formation, or a play, or some historic or noteworthy subject, along with slides and film, and everything. He does it because he loves to teach.,..and that is what he does best...he teaches.

Both acknowledged winners. Both great judges of character and advocates of focused discipline. Great interview. Thank you!!

[@SportsBoss999]

Excellent interview by Suzy Welch, allowing us to see into the mind of the greatest coach in NFL history, Bill Belichick. She asked smart open-ended questions that allowed Bill to open up about his coaching philosophy and style. Obviously Bill trusted her and thus gave us a glimpse into what makes him great. Really enjoyed this. Bill demonstrated his tough, yet fair, approach to his players. It's a balancing act between the games they enjoy and the often cruel business side of those games. He is calculated with his words and is often misunderstood, but knows what it takes to be a success. Well done by both of them.

[@judynichols2904]

Vince Lombardi was the greatest coach ,he won everywhere he went even made the lowly Red Skins look good before he died .Belichick had one good year in five at Cleveland and was fired by them in 1995.Nor did he even go to a Super Bowl as head coach until Brady became starter .I don't know why everybody thinks Belichick is the second coming of Lombardi .

@Jason O'Daniel Why make it so easy for others to see how petty and shortsighted you are as a sports fan? The interview makes it clear, that Coach Belichick had a hand in making sure Brady was drafted by the Patriots. Was it "cheating", when Belichick hired perhaps the best OC in the game, Josh McDaniels? Was it "cheating", when Matt Cassel showed how much his success was tied to good coaching in NE and the Chiefs bought too high on that story? Sound very much as if it is YOU who is "cheating" - cheating yourself of an honest admission of excellence being enjoyed by 'not-your-Team'.

@yabadoo Nah, he went 5-13 with Bledsoe and Manning isn't clutch. Had that cushy dome and silver platter of perennial weapons for years and pooped his pants in the postseason. Brady could win 6 rings with any coach and any revolving door of garbage players given he's thrown a TD pass to over 80. More wins than Troy Aikman and Aaron Rodgers combined.

BB not only has 7 rings with Pats and Giants, but was also a coach in 10 Superbowls and 15 AFC/NFC Championship games.

And his career isn't over yet.

[@ForgiveTremor]

"yeah he's won Superbowls with the Giants before being head coach of the Patriots" Where he was NOT the HC and one of them the Bills missed a FG in the closing seconds. #overrated

[@stackleft8998]

He was not the head coach of the Giants at that time. He was a DC and a very good one, but a lot of people could have ran that defense. To me a guy like Ritchie Petibone was actually a better DC. Three SB's wins, coached in four and the only HOF player that he had was Darrel Green. He always mixed and match defenses with multiple packages, way ahead of his time. Again, not taking anything away from BB cause I think he's the best HC of his time. His teams are always well prepared and fundamentally sound.

Bill "The Genius" Belichick. Greatest Coach of All Time! Fantastic Interview. It's a treat to see him open up.

Treat? He is a pathological liar and a cheater. He got exposed already, but people forget. He cheated right from the beginning and continues to cheat. Just found a better way to not get caught. Yet, with this people praise him. SMH. I guess winning at ALL COSTS is all there is.

[@joshualei98]

that was the best. I love hearing bill bellichick speak in interviews like this. I feel like the whole time he's just talking about how to become better in life and what qualities he finds important to have to be successful and uses football with all his experience as an example. I can listen and learn from him all day.

[@nightflyer3175]

[@MrColeemon]

what great answers. do you want to win the next superbowl? over half of the head coaches in the NFL would have said yes. not Bill, instead he talks about the process. Simply amazing.... Blitz for 6.

[@MrColeemon]

Actually focusing on the process is why NE has been so successful the last 16 years. Complacency can set In if you're already looking to next year's playoffs. Every team is going to try to give NE they're best game next season as theyre the defending champs. You overlook the details and all of a sudden you will find yourself out of the playoffs. As far as cheating goes prior to 2006 filming a game from anywhere on the field was perfectly legal. Mike shanahan and Jimmy Johnson said everybody did it before it officially became a rule. So yes the Patriots got caught "cheating" for one game but that doesn't discredit 01, 02 and 04. I won't go into deflategate, you can't give me one shred of evidence that makes the Patriots guilty . I've tried looking for the evidence and came up with nothing. Why do people purposefully cheat? To gain a competitive advantage. You should ask yourself, does deflating a football in anyway benefit the QB? The answer is it doesnt. Sports science did an episode covering this. They found that a football with less PSI has a slower velocity which makes the football easier to intercept. Ironically the ball that the Colts possibly tampered with to find "proof" of this framegate thing was from a patriots ball they intercepted in the first half. As you can see 1 game of officially cheating doesn't discredit 16 years of greatness. There's a long list of cheating for every other organization, your team has plenty of scandals as well but who cares about your team, your team doesn't win anything.....

[@theaterdreamer]

Uh, no. Belichick is an absolutely fantastic, Hall of Fame coach. I have absolutely no qualms with that. The man is a flat out genius, and Brady is one of the ten best quarterbacks to ever play the game (but not the GOAT. Sorry, Pats fans, but statistics do not support that assertion). But his team tried to gain an unfair advantage a few times, either by his hand, or under his watch. And the NFL penalized the Pats because they cheated. Lombardi stressed God, family, and Packers football. He never would have put up with cheating. The integrity of the game was held inviolate in Green Bay. Oh, and Lombardi had a .900 career winning percentage in the playoffs, back when football was played by men, outdoors, with no absolutely ridiculous penalties being called when you hit a receiver, or sneezed too close to a quarterback. Five championships in seven seasons will NEVER be matched. Ever. The Patriots, as great as they are, needed sixteen years to get their fifth championship, losing three Super Bowls along the way. Had the Packers gotten six more yards on the last play of the 1960 NFL Championship against Philly, the Packers win six in eight years, and Lombardi has a perfect 10-0 in the playoffs.

He is the greatest coach ever especially when you look at the era he is doing it in. Just amazing. That's what you call a genius but he also works his ass off it's the perfect combination of many different things that makes him great.

For being a great coach for one the best teams ever, he is very humble.❤❤

“Good players can’t overcome bad coaches” I’ve said this all the time, it just can’t be done.

Bill Belichick was Lawrence Taylor's Linebacker coach with the Giants, think about that one for a minute.

[@clifftonnorflet5001]

Vinny Ocean woah

[@johnnypastrana6727]

I doubt that Taylor needed to be coached up much though....this guy is brilliant.

[@holly03282008]

[@ianthorpe1925]

Belichick also consistently smoked crack with L.T. - Truly a master motivator.

[@TheBallsKicker]

LT was already talented before Belichick coached him.

[@ThePeaterBeater]

InstaFace and ChatRoom got me screaming, Bill is a legend and the greatest coach of all time

[@dkotouc]

I loved this interview....

[@thanksfernuthin]

I too, love this man. Not only do they win consistently, they do it the right way. Regardless of what the losers say. They never say anything that embarrasses me. They only make me proud. Hernandez was a strange kid that fooled a lot of people.

I know which word was misspelled, but I was actually able to figure out what he was saying in spite of that misspelled word. Incridible.

man what a genius i could sit here listening to him talk about stuff all day and not get bored

[@breemds]

❤️ how he focuses on making steps. Very disciplined and task oriented!

[@alexandersnelling9176]

He coached for the Baltimore colts cnbc not the Indianapolis colts. They played in Indianapolis starting in 1983. He even said he coached in Baltimore

[@howiephukterpuss5855]

the GOAT

[@stackleft8998]

It is funny that when he was with Cleveland no one would call him a goat. He gets Tom Brady in the 6th round and he's now the goat?? Great coach but not sure if he's the goat.

[@danielperry6557]

Howie Phukterpuss it's not funny it's intelligence, that was one of his first head coaching jobs. why would u call anyone the Goat when they've barely coached as a head coach. And he hadn't won yet lol. Your the goat because of winning and consistency over a long period of time. Now the debate for who is the goat is a good one and he should definitely be in the conversation. Also every great coach has had great players. So weather or not he got Brady in the 6th rd is irrelevant, tell me a great coach who had crap players and actually won lol

[@Thatcoolguy2000]

In Cleveland that was one of his first HC jobs. He took experience from that and learned and took it to New England. He found someone that has a great work ethic is a very smart guy that fits under what he does. Tom Brady didn't make Bill, Bill made Brady.

[@holly03282008]

@@stackleft8998 He took a trashy CLE team to the playoffs - Pisoric( sp?) was the QB and he had TWELVE dropped balls by the no-name CLE receivers. PITT won handily, I want to think it was 30-0 but had CLE caught those balls CLE wins. Then Belichick moved to greener pastures...

[@4orrcountry]

@@stackleft8998 Are ya really THAT stupid? HOW do you think Brady evolved from a 6th-round pick into the GOAT? Do ya think maybe he's been well coached since he arrived in New England? SMH.

[@carringtongrace7397]

This is my favorite interview of BB ever. He is so candid and open here. He's such a fascinating and intelligent guy, So he must have felt that Jamie Collins wasn't dependable and that's why he was traded. I loved him talking about team building, his disdain for social media, and the value he places on his rings. He'll never take any of the 7 to a pawn shop. I don't even want to think about him retiring. I watched this on TV and after the interview Suzy was asked some questions by the other anchors and she firmly believes that when BB steps away from coaching he will write a book. I hope that he does, I'm sure it'll be fascinating.

[@slipk0rvayne17]

this is amazing!!

[@reshodwilliams3398]

Coach Bill studied the Art of war he's one of the greatest coaches of all time and humbled spirit

Thank you coach!

[@michaeldemarco899]

This is the best BB interview of all Time. Relaxed, honest, open, why can’t he just give us a little of this on a weekly basis? He would be even more beloved than he is now. I know that he doesn’t care but we the fans care. This is great.
