So there ya have it folks all wrapped up in one neat little bundle. The survey participants had to be bribed into participating with jello shots of vodka and orange juice presented to them in relatively frequent intervals.

How does Marvin Lewis not make this list??

I guess if you consider the best record in the NFL, 2 AFC Championships, and 2 Eli final minute drives away from 2 more rings with a completely new team and significantly worse defense than he had from 2001-2004 not winning anything, than yea.

27 other teams haven’t won a Super Bowl since “spy-ESPN-created-story-gate”

You know, the whole topic of who has made the Pats dominant is really a fascinating study.

On the one hand, no one is every going to say that Brady is anything other than a first ballot HOF player. Arguably, based on stats alone, he’s potentially one of the best to have ever played the game.

But on the other hand, when he went down for the entire season, the pats went a very convincing 11-5 with Cassel at the helm. Clearly, as evidenced by his play (or lack thereof) in KC, Cassel was most certainly NOT the reason the Pats did so well in Brady’s absence. Much of that credit simply must be given to Bellycheat.

Conversely, with Shanahanahanan, there is little doubt that his two rings are a result of Elway’s level of play. The guy could never win a playoff game again, without number 7. He’s also proving to be just as big a flop in DC. Even with his new prized QB, the Skins are still a loathsome loser of a team.

randallflagg52 its so funny with out Brady he is nothing the same coach that got bounced out of clev. Not a master mind just lucky also three quarters of those guys you mentioned are A a product of playing with Brady or B would not start on a good D any where in t he league except maybe the Raiders.

You do realize that Belichick took the Patriots to 11-5 without Brady in 2008, with that Hall of Famer they have in Kansas City now …… right?

The last few drafts have been excellent (Gronk, Hernandez, Spikes, Jones, Solder, Vollmer, you can put McCourty there, he’s solid this year, etc) and our depth is good every year.

Everyone also chooses to forget signings like Brian Waters, Andre Carter and Mark Anderson who he got for chump change last year, because of Ochocino and Fat Al. Brandon Lloyd at 4M /year this year.

BenJarvus, Ryan Wendell (starting center), Dan Conolly (starting right guard), just to name a few, this guy digs up depth in places that no other GM does

Yeah, Belichick really sucks at team-building

c’mon man… two pretty good coaches – give ‘em some recognition.

this poll is nonsense. 3 of the top 4 have appeared in multiple super bowls and each have won at least one. and the other one, reid, was a mainstay in the conference title game and even coached in a super bowl.

with that said, i think belichik and shanahan have had the luxury of having two of the greatest quarterbacks in nfl history turn them from mediocre coaches into “geniuses.” we’ve seen little from shanahan B.E. or A.E. i expect more of the same if belichik sticks around A.T.B.

To all you Pats fans, the reason Belichick was on the list is for a supposed defensive genius, his defense is a joke. Oh, and his personnel moves (draft picks, trades, free agent signings) have been pretty bad lately.
————————————————–

The comment about his poor personnel moves is simply not true. The last four drafts have yielded; Sebastian Vollmer (late second), Julian Edelman (7th), Devin McCourty (1st), Rob Gronkowski (2nd), Brandon Spikes (2nd), Aaron Hernandez (4th), Zolan Mesko (5th), Nate Solder (1st), Stevan Ridley (3rd), Marcus Cannon (5th), Chandler Jones (1st), Donta Hightower (1st), Tavon Wilson (2nd), Alfonzo Dennard (7th).

It is admittedly early to include players like Wilson and Dennard, but all fourteen of those players have started games this year. That list doesn’t even include solid contributors like Jermaine Cunningham, Brandon Deaderick, Myron Pryor, and so on.

Of course there have been some picks that didn’t pan out, most noticeably in the secondary, but show me any team that hasn’t had their share of bad picks – especially with the multitude that the Patriots have every year.

As for free agency and trades, you’re clearly swayed by high profile additions that didn’t work out like Haynesworth and Chad Johnson. How about Leigh Bodden, who greatly aided the defense when healthy? Rob Ninkovich, one of the better defensive players for the Pats the last two years? Kyle Love and Ryan Wendell, undrafted free agent acquisitions that are now solid contributors on each line? Brian Waters, who made the Pro Bowl?

Belichick’s supposedly poor record of personnel moves is a myth.

Oh, goodness. How is an NFL player a reasonable judge of who is and isn’t a good NFL coach? I’m not going to even bother responding to your inane question. You have no hope for intelligence.

I challenge you to produce proof on this site documenting that taping of a walkthru actually occured.Not an accusation but proof since you cannot substaniate this BS claim.

The tuck rule is still an NFL rule today,live with reality.

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

Yeah, no taping occured. Goodell just punished that pats for no reason. Go back to crying about the Red Sox, put down your Sam Adams, and take off the tin foil hat.

Must be some pretty jealous NFL players out there…
