An “incredibly grateful” Tom Brady is paying tribute to his New England Patriots coach, Bill Belichick, following the news that Belichick’s remarkable run with the franchise has come to an end.

Belichick, 71, and the Patriots have parted ways after 24 seasons in which they won a record six Super Bowls.

Brady, considered the greatest quarterback of all time, was the centerpiece of those championship teams. The two will forever be linked, as the Patriots also won 30 playoff games, 17 AFC East titles and reached the Super Bowl nine times during their run together.

Brady on Thursday posted a photo on Instagram of himself with Belichick on the field, writing that he is “incredibly grateful to have played for the best coach in the history of the NFL.”

“He was a great leader for the organization, and for all of the players who played for him. We accomplished some amazing things over a long period of time, many of which will be hard to replicate,” Brady, who retired for good in 2023 after three seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, continued.
