Is Belichick the best?

[broncosmitty]

Holding is cheating... Pass interference is cheating... etc...

if you aint cheating, you aint trying...

I gave the man credit as GOAT.

Ha I’m not old....

hahaha

 

[eaglesnut]

Never has been as good as Doug Pederson.

Or Tom Coughlin.

Belichick coached for 4 miserable seasons at Cleveland before he got lucky with Tom Brady in New England. He had a 36-44 record with the Browns.

And as soon as he finally got that dumpster fire put out and took them to the playoffs, they were gone.

Thanks for making them legitimate Bill.

Are you really serious?

Who is Knoll?

Thank God... I was hoping I would find a post somewhere that pointed that out.

I expect opinions all over the board but, here goes!

I voted best ever

 

[handicappers]

Tom Landry = GOAT

BB = almost GOAT

Let's see...Yes.

They had not been to the playoffs since '89 until Bill got them there in '94. Winning in the Wild Card game, losing in the Divisional round. A Dumpster Fire of a 3 - 13 team that got better every year until '94 at 11-5.

The next year Cleveland played through the season knowing they were relocating to Baltimore.
Baltimore went on to win 2 SB's and has been in the playoffs 10 of the last 22 years. Legitimate team in the AFC North.

What is not to get??

I suppose Ozzie should get all the credit and BB was just a puppet??

Just trying to follow this logic, in 1995 BB's last year with the Browns they go 5-11....They move to Baltimore and go 4-12, 6-9-1, 6-10, 8-8 and in 2000 they go 12-4 and win the SB.....5 years removed and BB gets credit for the SB and the success that followed? That's a bit of a reach.....

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Yes, Not Even Close

 

[Ricky Roma]

IMO, not even the best Bill to coach the Pats.

Ozzie gets most of the credit in my opinion.

Yeah...maybe a stretch.
But...
The Browns went 5-11 in '95 because the move was announced and Cleveland fans no longer supported the team, and many players/staff were aware major changes were coming.

2000 Ravens still had players and staff that Bill had recruited.

A stretch, but not totally untrue.

Point is Bill got the Browns out of the dumpster and past the wild card round.
Hasn't happened since Bill was HC.

 

[Yankee Traveler]

Ozzie gets most of the credit in my opinion.

Just another facet of what makes him the greatest ever. He gives all the credit away.
