No head coach-quarterback pair has been more successful in NFL history than Bill Belichick and Tom Brady of the New England Patriots. Together, they have won five Super Bowls, seven AFC championships, and fourteen division titles. In his talk, Michael will take us inside their relationship, dissecting how these men and their team came to dominate football.
