Tom Brady spent twenty seasons with Bill Belichick as a Patriot. Despite six Super Bowl titles together, things seemed strained by the end in New England. The foundation of their relationship is apparently still strong though.

Belichick moved into second place all time on the NFL wins list with number 325 after a 22-17 win over the Jets Sunday. Brady was asked about the milestone in his weekly podcast with Jim Gray Monday Night. The future Hall of Famer praises his former Head Coach in the answer.

• Tom Brady on his "Let's Go" podcast talked about Bill Belichick surpassing George Halas on the all-time wins list:

• Brady on Belichick the Historian

  “He is a historian of the game. I remember when I was there, we talked about Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers. There were a lot of history lessons he would give the team to give you perspective on the history of football, history of coaching, history of playing, history of rivalries and games and the founding of NFL teams because we all love football,”

  “He’s gonna go down as the greatest coach of all time. He’s done an incredible job, certainly with the Patriots, and he learned a lot over the years with the Giants, the Jets, the Browns — his history goes way back.”

• Brady on Belichick’s Lessons

  “He’s put a lot into it and he’s taught a lot of people the game of football in a very detailed way. He believes in the fundamentals. He believe in techniques. He believes in preparation, hard work, discipline, toughness, all the things that are sustainable over time. They’re all great lessons to learn in life, too. He’s an amazing coach, and again, I was very lucky to play for him all those years.”

• Belichick is an Amazing Coach

  “A remarkable achievement by him and what he’s gone through in his coaching career in as many years as he’s been coaching and preparing his teams, he’s so deserving of the award,”

  “He’s been an amazing coach that I got to play for for 20 years. He always has his team prepared. He works incredibly hard and he’s incredibly deserving of all the accolades that go along with it. I’m really happy for him and none of his success really surprises me after getting a first-hand view of what he put into it, every week, for 20 years that I was there with him.”
