5 Superbowl/NFL Championships wins in 7 years – Vince Lombardi

John Fox coached up the Carolina Panthers (with Jake Horrible Delhomme at QB) to 12 and 4 the same year Belichick coached the Pats to 12 and 5 without Brady, so forgive me for not being too impressed with Belichick having 5 losing and 2 winning seasons without Brady. Belichick does NOT stack up as the best coach of all time. You can’t find an objective source that supports that assertion.

Best football coach ever…sorry but it’s true
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Unfortunately your Right!! and that’s coming from a Giant Fan.

What he did with Matt Cassel that season, with all the other injuries they had and still going 11-5, was simply incredible.

He is undoubtedly the best football mind post free agency, hands down.

Belichick is not even in the top 5 ever: Paul Brown, Chuck Noll, Don Shula, Vince Lomardi, Bill Walsh to name a few all have better cases. Heck Don Shula had only 2 losing seasons in 31 years as a head coach. Belichick has had 5 losing seasons. Lombardi never had a losing season.

Belichick has only had TWO winning seasons in his career without Tom Brady as his QB. Meanwhile, despite being a “defensive genius” his Patriots had the second worst definsive statistical season in the history of the NFL last year.

Much better case for Tom Brady as best QB ever and Belichick as a very good coach, but not in the same discussion as the five above.

==================================

Ever hear of Bill Walsh? You know the guy that totally revolutionized the way football is played? The guy who turned after thoughts and small school players like Montana, Craig, Young, Rice, Clark and Taylor etc etc. into all pros and HOFers. The guy who never lost a SB. He’s the best cach ever…sorry but it’s true.

Also Belichick is a defensive coach, so you an’t credit hm for Brady’s brilliance on the field.

If Belichick didn’t have Brady or a film crew he’d have some good teams but no Superbowl victories. He’s a great coach not the best ever, ask Cleveland.

If Belichick was born 40 years earlier it would be the William Belichick Trophy.

Lombardi is the best coach ever, Chuck Noll is probably 2nd. Belichick is great but he’s got that one incident…

Remember when the other coaches in the league all thought the ‘spygate’ was no big deal, because they all also did it.

Oh wait, no you don’t. Because the twitter-sphere is a bunch of small people from small towns who just want to gossip and get their un-asked-for and uninformed opinion out to the world. (why do you think Mangini can’t get a job holding a clipboard? – the term is ‘black-balled’)

Best coach in the history of the game. Accept it.

So thats how the Patriots receive their “inside info”. To me it doesn’t seem very fair when teams combine practices, somebody is taping something during it. No wonder why Belichick loves them.

They really enjoy the early filming of the new defensive schemes.

Of course Detroit players will misunderstand the concept and tell their agents they want to play in New England.

As a fan of the game, I love these. They can lead only to better football IMO. They will help both teams get better. With some of the junk football we usually see early on, anything that can be done to make the quality better is fine by me.
