President Donald Trump said it was “terrible” that eight-time Super Bowl winner Bill Belichick was excluded from the National Football Hall of Fame in what was widely regarded by the sporting world as a major snub.
Trump sat down with NBC News for the president’s traditional yearly interview with the network hosting the Super Bowl and this year spoke to NBC’s Tom Llamas. Belichick, who won six of his eight Super Bowl victories as head coach of this year’s contending New England Patriots, was widely regarded as one of the most successful head coaches in NFL history before he retired from the league in 2024 and moved to join the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill as head coach of the school’s team.
