Bill Belichick Suggests Lombardi Trophy Be Renamed After Tom Brady

Bill Belichick thinks it might be time for the NFL’s Super Bowl hardware to get a rebrand … saying players win championships, not coaches — so in reality, the Lombardi Trophy should be named after Tom Brady!!

The Patriots legend — who won six championships with TB12 in New England — shared his take on the “Let’s Go!” podcast with Jim Gray this week … when he admitted even the best coaches in the world won’t get far without a great roster.

The North Carolina Tar Heels’ new coach listed several notable guys he coached throughout his time in New York, Cleveland and New England … and said they’re the ones that deserve all the shine — ’cause they got it done on the field.

“Those are guys that won the games, man.” the eight-time S.B. winner said. “I didn’t make any tackles. I didn’t make any kicks. That was [Adam] Vinatieri that made that kick in four inches of snow.”

He went on to share some words of wisdom he got from fellow football great Bill Parcells … adding, “You got to have good players and as a coach, you want to give your players a chance to win.”

“You want to put them in a position where if they go out there and play well, they’ll have a chance to win.”

When Gray followed up by saying the trophy is named after Lombardi — who won the first two Super Bowls with the Green Bay Packers — Belichick chuckled and made his suggestion.

“Maybe they should name it the Brady Trophy. He won seven of them.”
