Apple TV+ received a lot of praise for its “The Dynasty” docuseries, but there seemed to be one recurring complaint. Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was painted in a negative light way too often.
Patriots legend Vince Wilfork didn’t hesitate when asked about Belichick’s portrayal in “The Dynasty.”
Wilfork told USA Today that he doesn’t think Belichick received enough credit in this popular docuseries. He then raved about his former coach.
“I didn’t like the comments of how it went. I think Bill deserves a lot more credit than what was portrayed in there,” Wilfork said, via Patriots Wire. “So I just stay away from it. I’m going to tell you like I tell everybody else. Bill Belichick is the best head coach that ever coached the game of football. People can sit down and talk about Lombardi and Andy Reid and all of that good stuff, but let me tell you something: Lombardi didn’t have to deal with salary cap. And Bill did that with the salary cap and the way the game changed.
“Andy Reid—I like Andy as a coach—but my thing is, I’m a Bill Belichick guy. He’s won it in New York, and what he’s done in New England, it speaks volumes. I’m going to always respect Bill, and I’m going to always be grateful of Bill Belichick for the career that I had and what he taught me on and off the field. I would tell anybody he’s the greatest coach of all time. Until somebody come and surpass him, that’s what it is.”
Belichick hasn’t shared his thoughts on “The Dynasty.” In fact, he’s been really quiet this entire offseason.
Over the weekend, however, Belichick was spotted at the University of Washington. He was most likely helping out his son Steve, who became the program’s defensive coordinator earlier this year.
