Aha! Was difficult to find. Yes, it is. In GOF (the Sorting Hat song):

"While still alive they did divide
Their favorites from the throng,
Yet how to pick the worthy ones
When they were dead and gone?
'Twas Gryffindor who found the way,
He whipped me off his head
The founders put some brains in me
So I could choose instead!"

So, yes it was Godric's hat, but the other founders put 
their 'brains' in.
