Patriots coach Bill Belichick admitted that his girlfriend Linda Holliday helped him dress for his trip to his eighth Super Bowl.

Upon arrival in Minnesota on Monday, Belichick sported a suit, neck tie and a Fedora hat that belonged to his father.

“That was my dad’s hat, so I thought I’d just toss that one on today,” Belichick said. “Minnesota’s a good place to have a hat.”

Belichick’s dad, Steve, was a long-time football coach and scout at Navy. He died in 2005.

The Patriots play the Eagles on Sunday in Super Bowl LII.
