Bill Belichick reiterated his long-held belief that it's players who win games, not coaches, saying, "You can't win games without good players."

“I mean, it’s [Tom] Brady, it’s [Willie] McGinest, it’s [Mike] Vrabel, it’s [Tedy] Bruschi, it’s Corey Dillon, it’s Randy Moss, Troy Brown, Lawyer Malloy, Ty Law, Rodney Harrison. Those are guys that won the games, man. 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.

Speaking on the "Let's Go!" Podcast, Bill Belichick gave credit to players over coaches for their role in championships.
