Belichek's just a miserable SOB. His curmudgeonly act grew tiresome with the losing, You can do what he does when he wins. But not when he loses as it grows old fast. Brady made this guy.

All coaches have a shelf life even Belichick, he should be thankful for the day that Brady walked onto the field in New England.

I'll bet some network hires Belichek as an analyst. Suddenly the guy who absolutely despises the media will be a part of it making a 7 figure salary. Spit.

He could just retire.  He is 71.

I hope he does as he is full of himself. However, I believe he'll be wearing a mic next season.

That first Super Bowl was coaching his defense carried that team. People forget he is one of the biggest defensive minds to ever coach the game. 

[Jpan85]

Forgot to add he has coached in 12 Super Bowls that is 22% of all Super Bowls

[Brandon]

Quote

Belichick has a record of just 82-98 without Brady as his quarterback after the 2023 NFL season. That's good for a winning percentage of just .463 and pales in comparison to what Belichick has achieved with his long-time quarterback.

Bill Belichick	Wins	Losses	Winning %	Super Bowl titles (as HC)
With Tom Brady	249	75	.769	6
Without Tom Brady	84	103	.449	0

I dare say over-rated coach?   

[rebusrankin]

The first three Super Bowls were won by NE's D and run game, not Brady. Heck Bledsoe came in to help them win the AFC championship game that first run.

Walsh only won Super Bowls with Montana. Hack.

O'Shea only with Collaros - also ran.

I don't understand the point?  

Don Shula won 2 super bowls without Marino?  Brady also was a better QB then Marino and is the best QB to ever play the game.  

Shula without Marino Overall

212-88-6

69%

Shula with Marino

116-68

63%

I also don't understand the O'Shea reference?    Pre Zach he was over .500 as a coach and that is counting him inheriting an absolutely awful team that resulted in those first two seasons being really bad.  

 Bill Belichick inherited a team that for the previous three seasons were above .500 and had a Pro Bowl level QB in Drew Bledsoe.   His first 2 seasons the Pats were both 5 -11.   The moment Brady started playing the Pats started winning.   

In 2019 the Pats were 12 - 4 with Brady... in 2020 without Brady they drop to 7 - 9.   Without Brady ,  Bill sucked the big one.    

In 10 seasons of his coaching career without Brady... only three times has he had a winning record.

Vince Lombardi was this great coach with Bart Starr. Ingrate.

As much as I detest New England, I will be the first to say Belichick is a phenomenal coach but would also say that it's likely neither Brady nor Belichick would have had the success they did without the other.  

Belichick's downfall was his inability to build and maintain a roster - he failed as a GM.

The night game in KC is like -25c. 5 minutes into the 1st Q and Miami looks like they just want to go home.

Any day the Browns lose, is a good day. Ef that organization. 

 

 

Mahones breaks his helmet. 

It took me a minute to figure out why they would have a backup ready so quickly, but it's because of the comms. If that goes down, you want a backup ready to go.
