Bill Belichick talks Tom Brady meetings, NFL tanking, UNC recruitment & more! | The Pat McAfee Show

[@ShogunTen]

This segment is the best in football television

[@TylerMayo-v1d]

Its not tho

[@1ShotHD]

To him it is. Just because it may not be to you doesn't make it wrong for him. ​@@TylerMayo-v1d

[@DavionAngeles]

OMG, I love this Bill Belichick that can actually answer questions in interviews. That shot he took at Chicago was on point.

[@michaeldennis5227]

Awesome stuff. I hope Coach Belichick crushes it at UNC. The man is a legend; he was born to be a leader and a coach. His personality, love, and knowledge of the game are shining like a diamond here!

[@Rickyreds]

bill learning, adapting & building off what his players see on the field sounds like a players coach to me

[@patsnation1402]

sounds like you haven't been drinking the krafts kool aid. shame on you.

[@markfoley2220]

I love listening to him talk football. It’s a peek behind the curtain.

[@MikeArchambeault]

That timeout rule was exactly what Tom Brady said he did while playoing on the air last night calling the game on TV. Brady and Bellichick share the same football mind.

[@danielswartz2175]

Never seen Bill so happy

[@springfield03sniper]

24 year old puss will do that too you…

[@ralfhorne-g4s]

why would'nt he ? he's a muliti millionare and dating a girl that's in her twenties, I'd be smiling too!

[@user-uf5ui7dw3u]

At his core Bill is a teacher of the game that’s one of the main reasons for his success

[@fanda6122]

watched the madden retrospective video with bill again he doesnt watch on the ipad like most modern documentaries he reads right from the script/quote "..but if you look at it, you're a guy that was a PE major in college. Your best class was recess, and then you become a coach. When you win some games you're a genius. You go from being good at recess to being a genius." bill truly believes he's ultimately a gym teacher at his core

[@michaelaguon4607]

Man who doesn’t want to sit down and just talk to a crusty old dude about his craft. It’s the purest gift for anyone.

[@kevinmaund9515]

Agreed, the crusty comment cracked me up lol

[@wishingb5859]

I love how very, very passionate he still is about football. Hard to get him to stop talking because he loves it too much for it to be over.

[@owenbarnes773]

thanks Pat and team ... and thanks Bill having access to Coach B is something i never imagined we would get (after the post game pressers) and WHAT A TREAT ... he's great

[@7.3diesel92]

I’ve loved these interviews all year thanks so very much guys!

[@wishingb5859]

Pat McAfee, you give these men the respect they deserve and they give you the best conversations that they possibly can. I think about how the Press seriously disrespected Bill and Aaron. What a difference a little but of respect makes.

[@Larry-jh8gf]

I agree, I recently became a fan of Pat just a few weeks ago.

[@wishingb5859]

@ By allowing for respect for these men, Pat is literally changing the culture from petty nitpicking drama toward capturing the passion of these men toward the sport that they love.

[@wishingb5859]

@ I spent years listening to ESPN radio at work and it was as if they felt the need to run people like Bill B and Tom and Aaron down and it didn’t add to the love of the sport. I listen to Bill talking here and it ignites the passion within my heart towards football and towards all of the men who are involved in it. I went from not even wanting to hear about any of it to wanting to hear everything.

[@mtadams2009]

Bill without Tom as his QB is sub 500 over 11 seasons as a head coach. He left NE with the worst roster in the NFL. I can already tell you this does not go well. I respect Bill as a defensive coach but as a GM not so much. You can believe what you want but his numbers without Tom are average at best.

[@tdbassman1]

This is probably the greatest half hour of a sports show that i have ever watched!

[@pnwguy00]

22:25 this is utterly fascinating stuff that Belichick is sharing. Yes, Tom was a great QB but what a well-oiled machine they were up there in NE for so long. It was so much more than just Tom. Great share.

[@afroamerican4029]

It was a well oiled machine when Brady was his QB. When he wasn't? Not so much

[@WrathMania32]

Didn’t work very well as soon as they let Tom walk

[@levin448]

Take a franchise quarterback from a team and any great coach will struggle.

[@WrathMania32]

@@levin448 Agreed. Which is why the great coach made a terrible decision because his ego told him he didn't need the generationally great QB anymore.

[@quintonbackhand2519]

@@WrathMania32 Brady was closing in on 40 lol not totally irrational although a mistake to be sure, he let go of everyone early to be fair, he was consistant no special treatment.

[@kevinlucas8437]

This the real Bill !!! He's a different guy when he's not the business Bill. I'm really excited to see what he does with NC.

[@SkunkNWindow]

I’m glad we get to hear Bill’s POV, smart guy

[@wavesonswim8128]

Chapel Bill going CRAZY 😂

[@OhioRunsBoxing]

As a Tar Heel fan it’s great seeing bill bring us a lot of publicity for our university when it comes to football.. He is a legend and I enjoy listening to him talk football

[@cheshirecatsquirrel-master5842]

I hope he still does this show. Thanks for your insight!

[@matth2377]

I love how he has been ripping the Bears all year for constructing the team as if they play in a dome in the NFC West.

[@vandysfam]

dang - pure gold from Belichick!!! never heard him talk like this while coaching.

[@AL.BUNDY.]

Bill is so smart and so fun to watch on ESPN. I wish we got to see more of this side of Bill in NE. 💪👍

[@darrengagliardi1540]

Belichick's insights are unrivaled. Period.

[@monstermarc227]

This is why you guys are number 1.. the entire sports podcast radio world is out on vacation and Pat stays hustling…

[@JMan-Dawg]

Best discussion I have seen in recent months. Keep Bill on as much as he is able when he is the NC Coach. Love the banter.

[@johnfigula]

Awesome interview! Bill is the greatest, he is so into the conversation he can't stop. It's laughable that nfl teams won't interview him for a job

[@Kaizer5E]

I could watch Bill talk about his time with Tom all day. 🥺

[@TrippHartman]

Can’t see BILL going on First Take. Must drive them crazy seeing Pat getting all the good guests

[@soccermehlife7395]

Love Coach Belichick!

[@conorbruce8253]

Man I could listen to Bill talk football all day!

[@austinbuchwald4587]

Bill was cooking about talking in game situations. Could listen to him talk about situational football and timeout usage all day for some reason🤣

[@bub6010]

Bill is so happy with pat they really bring out his real side I hope he’s back on next season

[@MSr-m3r]

When I hear coach he is a teacher of the game. Great segment

[@ChristineH28]

I could listen to Bill talk football all day long and never get bored! He is the G.O.A.T. 🐐

[@JohnGraham-tb8zm]

Belichick is awesome. Never been a fan of a team he’s coached but hard to root against him

[@kevinspencer3706]

He loves football and teaching football!

[@tarheel-336]

Chicago part was rough 😂 but accurate ❤

[@calebthomas5411]

People were actually upset Pat having bill on the show at the start 😆

[@Dr_Solo942]

Never thought I’d see the day bill said “ scrolling through my instagram” lol

[@daved974]

Consistent Vision. those two words are the key to everything in team sports, and also life . thx Coach B

[@63stevemeier]

Happy New Year coach. Thank you for all your hard work and time you gave to me and my family. You are forever loved and appreciated Sec 202 Row 10, seats 7&8.

[@cabie58]

Such a good interview

[@Sheawastaken]

Seeing bill on pat mcafee is cool

[@Michigan_dad]

Great conversation!

[@crazymann3188]

Man, I love this stuff. He's pretty much laying out the blueprint for all the coaches and teams.

[@rogerdecker34]

I love how much Pat loves hearing Bill answer questions.

[@chrisfallon8956]

The best sports interview I've ever seen.

[@Wethepeople420-12]

Love love love seeing bill answering questions in full sentences. Def a breath of fresh air. College seems like fantasy land but BB will absolutely break that mold and show them reality.

[@guycharles8061]

Anyone else think BB is making a pitch for Vrabel for the Patriots?

[@patsnation1402]

I hope we get him. he has the same personality as bill, tough guy who loves disciplined fundamental ball.

[@S0ulinth3machin3]

Kraft and BB aren't on good terms. Doubt if his word would be heeded.

[@Fitz-Bostonkehd]

AJ hawks smiling while listening to to this legend speak is mystifying itself lol look at the respect and their sincere attention these two give bill.

[@zkid676]

Shout out Pat, for getting all these legendary coaches on his show

[@robertmontgomery5959]

the education on end of game timeouts is outstanding!

[@cbockiii2514]

Belichick is the best. I love the questions they ask him, too. Great segment.

[@amanberak7848]

Great interview

[@williamsimmons4873]

God bless you, Mr. Belichick and good luck with your adventure❤.

[@mariovultaggio8198]

This was incredible start to finish

[@EyeSeeSports]

I love hearing the details and how football intelligent Belichick is, then watching Miami play, and seeing them not getting play calls in on time after 3 years. 4th and 3, break the huddle at 8 seconds, timeout.

[@christopherohara7903]

Bill talking about those meetings was good stuff

[@kevinspencer3706]

The Browns front office should be made to listen to the Bill Belichick segments on how to win in the NFL Makes so much sense. Have a consistent vision that everyone buys into and have the discipline to stay the course. Starts with ownership.

[@keep1buried]

Coach is a beautiful mind

[@JoseGonzalez-rx3zm]

I can listen to Bill talking about football all day

[@wishingb5859]

Every time Bill speaks or Tom speaks for that matter it shows me how condescending the discussions of whether winning was Tom or Bill. Every member of those teams and every coach was spending hours and hours discussing every possible situation they would be facing. Tom bought in to Bill’s vision and Tom was so OCD about it that it became The Patriot Way. But everyone else bought in, too.

[@anshumankanjilal5376]

it's a shame that other teams in NFL did not hire him as a head coach but thank god he is not coaching in the league anymore, otherwise we would have never witnessed this side of coach Belichick. thank you coach.

[@HashHyped]

could you imagine this guy with Drake Maye 🤔

[@HashHyped]

instead we got Jerod fing Mayo 💩

[@johndewitt4198]

the fact bill understood kam patterson makes me a fan

[@dfjanus8014]

bill going hard on snapface

[@artholyoke]

Nobody knows situational football like Bill

[@russelljdj]

How lucky were us Patriots fans to have Bill & Brady. It was like hitting the lottery.

[@susanglover1972]

Welcome to North Carolina Bill Belichick! We have definitely won the lottery! Come on down Pat for game day!

[@IncreaseYourPatience]

Excellence. The goat.

[@h.i.m3646]

Would love to see Bill as head coach of the Miami Dolphins in 25.

[@LowSquaa]

I want my Giants to get him back but as our head coach so bad 🙏🏽

[@TK-mf2fr]

I'm surprised there isn't more there...Bill has always talked about how much he loved the Giants! Seems like teams are scared of hiring Bill for whatever reason

[@Motiv8Three]

Who in their right mind would take NIL money rather than to be coached by Belichick?!! "Money in the hand is not always better"

[@tnerd111]

He's a genius

[@joelploski9797]

Matthew Slayer should be a HOF special teams leader that's all he did. Everyone should think about that

[@SlimEagle5515]

His young girl put energy in him lol

[@CapitainBarbaRoja]

All of the boys are quiet when Bill is speaking, because they all know this is the greatest football coach who has ever lived, and interrupting him is a disservice to football as a whole. And yes I'm a pats fan.

[@nigelcarreiro6630]

"You look at teams like Chicago or New England who weren't very good last year and are arguably worse this year.." You knew that shot was coming

[@gregodonnell8469]

😂🤣🥁🥁

[@Chosen1Crown]

Clown

[@MikeVrabelINC]

It’s funny cuz he’s a lot of the reason the pats are so bad, I don’t blame him for hating Kraft though

[@zeppelinmexicano]

I have no problem with shots, as long as they are rational and accurate, although that wasn't much of a shot to me.

[@Urfeelingsdontmatter]

Yeah from Bill’s hand picked succesor haha. Bill Cant draft offense and cant pick head coaches

[@Bearsbeets.battlestargalactica]

Why does the audio cut out???!

[@jackhamilton5250]

ESPN cuts the audio when they're cursing

[@riseupmusicgroup]

Bruh y’all interview him every week. ESPN only talk about 5 topics for months in 10000 different ways 🗑️

[@JayJohnson-w4v]

I'm glad he's at Carolina and now We can beat Clemson and State and he's the best coach in football.

[@thecurbsidechoir8783]

7:13 solid gold stuff - trashing the bears. i wonder if he was hoping to get that job.

[@godawgs-33-18]

7:19 lighter strike 😂

[@bigtippyTopp]

Super Bowl 49 I came to respect the favor over Coach Belichick. 👩🏼‍🏫🧑🏾‍🏫👨‍🏫Winning = preparation * luck

[@H843-op5pn]

Coach bout to rack up in carolina....! Student portal is going crazy.......

[@yenneferofvengerberg4936]

At least bill called out Kraft for not spending in this, love it

[@jsenibaldi]

Vinatieri is the goat

[@YankeeStacking]

Kinder, gentler, sweeter Bill. 😂

[@WhiteBuffaloWakanGli]

Bill recruited that girlfriend knowing her knowledge would assist with his journey back to college. What a sly dawg Bill is. 👏

[@JustinForeman-l5g]

Yes I am expecting better things from Unc this year we have someone that Actually knows Football. He stated do you save the Time out to the very end. We should have conversations about using Time outs just save until less than 2 min should be a general rule. Less options for the QB in these situations. My Rule is simply keep one time out util less than 2 min the responsibility should be on the Coach.

[@Cblan1224]

So strange that this is bill, after 20 years of new england soundbites. Now we get, "im really enjoying it" What?

[@peteasarisi2536]

NFL owners clearly are guilty of collusion its an embarrassment this dude isnt gonna be coaching in the NFL until Brady hires him in '27 to coach the Raiders

[@S0ulinth3machin3]

that will make such a great story, Brady hiring Bellichick. I wanna see it.

[@AlwaysHalloween000]

Collusion?

[@stephanea5364]

Maybe I understand better now why I was so pissed at Atlanta's coach foir not taking the TO

[@jvkalex9080]

Harvard University should grant Belichick an honorary Doctorate of "Footballogy". Yes he is that brilliant!!!!

[@zeppelinmexicano]

Who needs anything from Woke Harvard to validate his worth? Let's allow NC to do that some day as that will make a lot more sense.

[@Kitchie26]

Nah, he can't convert without Brady though😂😂

[@michaellewis4301]

Bill looked like he just finished doing something with his "girlfriend" when the clip started😂😂😂😂

[@KulaKiniKoala]

Love how within the first 5 seconds, Pat absolutely insults his guest 🤣 Great to have you on BIll but watchin the Patriots is like stabbing myself in the ear with a pencil, it's like voluntary self root canal

[@dalegaither8209]

Where is your boy Rodgers at😂😂😂😂

[@blaiseallen9943]

Coach B, Grab Julian and Gronk, they’ll get the ball rolling ( If you know what I mean). After that, TALK SABAN OUT OF RETIREMENT. Go get em Coach!

[@Orcasrule6355]

We miss you in foxboro bill. Kraft gave you a raw deal

[@RhiscFactor]

Keep Natrone Means as RB coach!!
