Bill Belichick once said of Lombardi: “Mike’s one of the smartest people I know,” “He’s one of the smartest people I’ve ever worked with and was a huge asset to me for the two years that he was here. He studies football, and he knows it very well. I would say on probably all teams.”

Lombardi’s body of knowledge 35 years in the making. He has more than three decades of experience in professional football, as a coach, executive, and media analyst. His coaching and front office career have included jobs with the San Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders, Cleveland Browns (where he was the general manager and director of player personnel) and New England Patriots.

Michael Lombardi noted, “I’ve worked for, coached alongside and managed men who have won 11 of those Lombardi trophies, many of them the immediate or delayed result of the kind of foresight, ingenuity and sheer force of will displayed by Belichick during that goal-line stand in Arizona. The story behind that now-legendary play is just one example of many that I have collected over my career. I could argue that no one in modern NFL history has had as much direct access as I have to the men who most changed the game of pro football. And I would argue that no one is better suited to highlight and explain the brilliant lessons and revelatory insights of these masters, on the field and off.”
