Tom Brady is just as confused as everyone else after Bill Belichick didn’t get into the Hall of Fame … saying he doesn’t understand why he wouldn’t.
The seven-time Super Bowl champ discussed his former coach on the “Brock & Salk: Seattle Sports Talk and Analysis” show on Wednesday … after Belichick failed to secure 40 out of 50 votes to punch his ticket to Canton.
“You know, it’s … I just think that to me it’s — I don’t understand it,” Brady said.
“If he’s not a first-ballot Hall of Famer, then there’s really no coach that should ever be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, which is completely ridiculous because people deserve it.”
Brady described Bill as an “incredible” coach … and added that if there was one coach he’d pick to lead a team to a Super Bowl, it’s him.
Despite the first-ballot snub this year, Brady, 48, is confident Belichick will be a Hall of Famer one day — after all, they did win six Super Bowls together — and called the voting system “unfortunate.”
“He’s gonna get into the Hall of Fame,” Brady said. “I’m not worried about that.”
Things weren’t always great between the two … as their drama and eventual breakup with the Patriots were well documented.
When it finally happens, Brady says he’s ready to celebrate his coach and honor everything he’s accomplished.
