Shannon Sharpe Rips Bill Belichick’s “Ego” to Shreds by Issuing Harsh Tom Brady Reality Check

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was so close to becoming the third coach with 300 regular season wins. But the last game against the Dallas Cowboys upset the system. And now he’s being called out by many people for his style, including 3-time Super Bowl champion Shannon Sharpe.

Regarded as one of the greatest NFL head coaches, the recent defeat came as a crushing blow to Belichick. The Cowboys’ defeat is his worst game record as a head coach in a coaching career that spans over two decades. And Shannon Sharpe’s remark about Belichick and Tom Brady doesn’t make him feel any better. 

Sharpe feels Bill Belichick’s ego is to blame

Judging from the performance of Belichick’s Patriots after Tom Brady left in 2019, Shannon Sharpe realizes that it was the 7-time Super Bowl champion who has been giving Bill Belichick all the credit. The head coach enjoyed the taste of victory as a head coach with Tom Brady on the team from 2000 to 2019. 

The taste of victory gave Bill Belichick a kind of confidence, thinking the smooth sailing would never cease. But as Sharpe pointed out, “What he failed to realize is that he had that General. That 17 star General in Tom Brady that made everything smooth and him finding out the hard way is not as easy as he ever thought it would be.”

Little did Bill Belichick know that Brady’s departure from the Patriots could affect his overall reputation as one of the greatest head coaches in history. 

Belichick’s Patriots face a humiliating defeat against the Cowboys

The Sunday game at AT&T Stadium saw the fall of Bill Belichick from his pedestal as the greatest head coach. In the game, the Cowboys took the lead, and the game was as good as over by the first half. The New England Patriots fell in the dust with an overall 38-3.

The season isn’t looking bright for Bill Belichick and the Patriots with 1-3. But the last game with the Cowboys marks Belichick’s worst season game record as a head coach. Following the defeat, Bill Belichick said, “At this point, I think we’re a lot better team than we showed and that’s what it was. We’ve got a lot of work to do.“

The head coach indeed holds numerous records, including leading the Patriots to six Super Bowl wins as head coach, but speculation says he may be a Tom Brady player short. Based on the last Patriots game against the Cowboys, could Bill Belichick be running out of luck as an NFL head coach?
