Bill Belichick said on Sean Hannity's show the long-running "Brady vs. Belichick" storyline was "100%" media-driven fiction, adding that Tom Brady made him a better coach.
Brady's perspective as a quarterback reshaped Belichick's approach after he became New England's starter in 2002, with the coach saying he tailored plays and personnel to maximize Brady's strengths.
Belichick also used the interview to praise Brady's leadership, saying the quarterback wanted to be coached hard in meetings and insisted on being held accountable alongside the rest of the team.
The pair split after 20 seasons when Brady left for Tampa Bay and won a Super Bowl there, but Belichick said their relationship has remained supportive despite the contentious end in New England.
