He’s the last true head coach in sports – every player on a Bill Belichick team buys into his system because it’s one that wins. But Belichick is also famously robotic, when it comes to his football persona and how little we know about him away from the field of play.

Michael Lombardi spent three decades in the NFL as a team executive. He now writes for The Ringer and The Athletic, and is the author of Gridiron Genius: A Master Class in Winning Championships and Building Dynasties in the NFL. Lombardi joined Jeff and Stephen to discuss his time with the New England Patriots under Belichick. He shines a light on the man who cuts the sleeves off his hoodies, famously offers the shortest answers possible to reporters’ questions and is arguably the greatest coach in football history.

This episode is hosted by Jeff Blair and Stephen Brunt, produced by Ryan Walsh and sound engineered by Amil Delic.
