It would be one thing if he were an above-500 coach without Brady but he's not.
The NFL revolves around QB's. Is Bill a great coach? Absolutely. But without Brady, he's not a champion.
Just like Andy is not a champion without Mahomes.
QB's are the cake, coaches are the frosting.

Oh, no question about that. At all. Said another way, a good coach can't win a Super Bowl without good players but good players can win a Super Bowl without a good coach.
I might imagine that for the bulk of the relationship, Belichick benefitted more from Brady than the reverse. But more recently - like in the season where they beat us in the AFCCG and the following one - Brady probably benefitted more from Belichick's defense mind as his physical skills declined.
