[@eincan1313]

Completely incorrect. Cowher resigned (not fired) at 48 years old and could have gotten another job in two seconds for many years after stepping away. He didn’t want to coach anymore. The media finally realized he wasn’t coming back and dropped it. Very different than a 72 year old BB who needs total control.

You are right, he nailed it. Look at the difference in coaching trees too. Saban adapted so much better and as a Giant fan I will always love BB from his defensive coordinator years with us, but he never changed.

[@JohnSmith-nj4zq]

Belichick's resume is a below .500 H.C without Brady. Players played for Brady not Belichick. Brady was the leader, communicator that motivator for that team. Belichick was just there riding Brady's coattails and taking all of the credits. People called him the mad scientists for drafting no name players. Well after Brady left, it showed how bad the guy was as a GM and H.C.

[@aboveSubparBallAnalysis]

Wait who had low end Lbs and DBs and d linemen perform as key cogs in Shitting on the rams Stellar offense- and Brady made Hogan work😂 yeah It was definitely just one

[@jimstevenson424]

He won the Giants SBs in the 80s as DC. He had the Browns as SB contenders, until the owner pulled the plug. Until the rule enforcement change (Ty Law Rule - similar to Mel Blount Rule) enabled the Colts offensive to compete better with the Pats, the Pats defense was their strength. Like Bradshaw coming out in 78, Brady also benefit from the enforcement change. Early 2000s, the rivalry was more BB vs Manning than Brady vs Manning.

[@MrOneanddone91]

I didn’t know Brady played defense too.

[@antonchigurh7227]

Exactly... And what's worse is Belichick never drafted one offensive player in the 1st round between 2004 and 2017 and Brady still was spectacular. Brady only had 2 - 1000 yard rushers in 20 years and it's beyond remarkable what he did

[@WarloyJenkins]

I want to hear Mike Florio complain about why Mike Vrabel doesn't have a head coaching job. He kept calling Amy Adam Strunk a reactive owner for firing Mike Vrabel (after two straight losing seasons, and no playoff wins in the past 4 seasons), and that Vrabel would have a job in a heartbeat. Well, there's Washington and Seattle left. That's it. And I can almost guarantee that Washington will be hiring Ben Johnson as soon as he's available. So that leaves Seattle, who just fired Pete Carrol for essentially having an old message that wasn't meshing with the locker room, and I assure you that will be a similar message that get's preached by Vrabel. Except Vrabel will preach it in a degrading manner, without Superbowls to back it up. If Seattle is smart, they won't hire Vrabel either and instead go with someone like Mike MacDonald or Bobby Slowick.

[@MJfromdaO]

Peter finally making some good points rare sight to see.

[@BKBEDSTUY]

The logic that he’s the best coach is flawed. People believe Brady deserves credit for the majority of the success.

[@Irked913]

He built a good team and kept it maintained for near a decade. There are maybe 3/4 coaches that can do that in the nfl. Hell maybe less. Not to mention with success comes poaching both players and coaches.

Brady deserves 75% of the credit, the same amount Belichick's winning percentage increases by when Brady was involved.

Maybe teams realize that Tom Brady was the reason for success, not Belichick? Look at his record without Brady, he's 82-98! That straight up sucks. On the Browns, he only got them to one winning season. I hate these talking heads that bow down to his presence. Maybe he could be good as a DC, but you see how he is without the GOAT. Tom Brady was the person that those Patriots players looked up to, not Bill. The Super Bowl in Tampa should be enough for people to understand it was all Tom.

Couldn’t agree more and I used to think BB was the reason for their success until Brady won another ring with the Bucs

Nobody values defense or thinks it wins- look at all the games Brady won 21-17,17-14,24-21 etc. Had Brady had a last place defense how many Bowls would he have won? It takes a team with a real coach with a real QB to have a chance.But without a defense it is virtually impossible - you gotta score AND stop the other team.

They had one superstar in LT. Carson was great but was coming towards the end of his career. Banks was very very good and Leonard Marshall was a plus defensive end. The rest were role players. There were many more talented defensive squads in history than the Giants during his tenure. The 85 Bears and many of Buddy Ryan’s Eagles teams had more talent.

The “new model” - its not really new in 2024 - in the NFL is to get a hot-shot quarterback and hire a young, energetic, offensive-minded coach. Rule changes which favor the offense and overprotect wide receivers and QBs are really what started it all. If you don’t agree the NFL is vastly different go watch replays from, oh, the 70s. Now, I don’t really consider Bill Bellichick (BB) to be “young” and without Tom Brady, BB’s ability as an offensive guru has come into question. I think that BB was a defensive coach early on as an assistant perhaps. But it might be the case that the NFL has passed Bellichick by. If I were an owner I wouldn’t hire Bellichick simply because I KNOW there would be a massive power struggle, but that’s an argument for another day.

[@bobthecpaontheloose4141]

I know that this isn't the point of your presentation but I have a theory on Belichick's lack of interest - most directly relating to his his perceived present coaching acumen - that is that the Brady connection - the synchronicity of their time at the Patriots and each fullfilled a symbiotic relationship for each other. Brady provided the perfect fit to allow Belichick to operate at his highest level and vice versa for Brady. In fact, Brady's intense team management style was in fact a significant part of the coaching scheme...

Who's to say Mac Jones was/is good enough to be an elite QB in the NFL? In a lot of peoples opinions including mine is that he was the best option at the time and they made it work. It's simply because he's being compared unfairly to Brady and he's not even in the same universe to begin with. I think a little more respect for a coach who has proven he is in fact the best to have done it. Nobody ever talks about Bill Walsh being not wanted or anything like that and look at what he did between Montana and Young and nobody says squat. He's a great coach and when he's being talked about it should be respectful. There's NO way you can tell me or anyone that Don Shula didn't coach his players hard or make unpopular decisions.
