For all his rings, not the greatest coach
A product of Brady - who he developed - but so much of his success is Brady.
Brady's ability. Brady's leadership. Brady's willingness to take a below market contract because of his supermodel wife
What has he shown without that? Zip.
What did he show before that? Zip
How does he compare to a guy like Joe Gibbs who won got rings with 3 different non superstar QBs? And then walked away to do nascar
And he cheated.
Unless Bill walks into a perfect - for him - situation, I hope to enjoy watching him fail.
I hate sticking up for belichick, but I hate even more hearing that Brady is the reason for all the wins
who cares what belichick did as a young coach in Cleveland? Most guys don’t succeed their first shot. He did go 11-5 the one year.
i look at this stat. In the cheatah games that Brady didn’t play, belichick coached the cheatahs to a 14-6 record . Cassel , Brisset , and I forget the other qb for one game, but those guys with the same team as Brady had, also went 14-6 under belichick. Small sample, but proves to me it was the system. Besides, the system, was the Parcells system which obviously worked for Parcells
brady went to Tampa. A perfect place for him. Great offensive line, great defense, great receivers, then add in Gronk and Fornette. Perfect place for him to win. Also, he was now in the nfc where the competition was slim. Also remember that it was the covid year where tons of guys sat out. Guess how many buccaneers sat out? ZERO
when Brady left the cheatahs, he couldn’t take them to the SB on his own the last year because there was not the usual amount of talent around him and no Dante Scarnechia coaching the oline. He left while they were in rebuild mode and he knew he couldn’t win in rebuild mode
just like in Tampa when some of the talent declined. He ended with a losing record because the talent around him wasn’t great. Heck, Baker Mayfield just did a better job with a worse Tampa team.
belichick and Brady both needed talent around them to be what they were.
i will say this too. Without Brady, belichick exists. Without belichick, Brady wasn’t drafted
one thing though. Belichick will also need the perfect team to succeed. His way of coaching doesn’t work with these young kids who don’t like being yelled at and told what to do. No matter how great he is, his time may be done. He also may end up as Eagles coach and win the SB. Who knows
I hate them both
