Tom Brady called the prospect of Bill Belichick recruiting young football players as a college coach “frightening” ― and the QB great gave a funny impression of his old coach doing so. (Watch the video below.)
But Brady clearly thinks the 72-year-old Belichick might not be a good fit for the ever-evolving college ranks.
Asked on Fox Sports Sunday if he could imagine Belichick coaching at that level, Brady replied, “No. I think there’s a lot of things he could do and honestly he’s tremendous. … But getting out there on the recruiting trail and dealing with all these college kids, that would be frightening.”
Another former Patriot, Julian Edelman, chimed in: “Can you imagine Bill on a couch recruiting an 18-year-old?”
That’s when Brady picked apart Belichick’s sometimes-dour demeanor with an impression that went viral.
“Listen, do you really wanna come here?” Brady said in imitating Belichick. “We don’t want you anyway. But I guess you could come. We’ll figure out if you play.”
The bit got big laughs in the Fox Sports studio.
