McDaniels canned...

At least with Bill Parcells (his "mentor"), he had many many successes with his staff taking on head coaching positions...

I don't think so, but one of his guys had to turn out allright.

And we all know now that McDaniels is the bastard child of the Belichick coaching tree.
McDaniels and Mangenius are from Belichick's tree.
Some people are just meant to be coordinators rather than head coaches. See Phillips, Wade.
Nick Saban was under him in Cleveland for a few years (not sure if that counts), but while not good in the NFL as a head coach, he is obviously successful in college.
was like a picture

wow...he tried to fuck up that franchise and did a good job.
or how effective of a cheater he is and/or how lucky he is that drew bledsoe got hurt and one of the top 3 qbs of all time fell into his lap. just sayin
Sure looked like cheating last night. Without all that cheating we woulda only won by 4 TDs instead of 6.
Hardcore Colts fan, so I hate them both equally, but Bellichek woulda had those rings with or without Brady.
i like blow out Monday night games, i can go to bed at half time
i hope pjhawks is kidding there
What did i say that wasn't true Jaegs? He did luck into Tom Brady and is a convicted cheater. Not saying he is not a great coach but do you think he wins multiple super bowls with McNabb as his QB? if so than you think he has more to do with it than Tom Brady? thats crazy. i think having one of top 3-5 QBs of all time goes a long way towards his career record. remember he did suck balls in cleveland.
wow. i don't have time for this now. can anyone else take this one for me?
Say what you will, the man rocks a fleece headband and cutoff gray sweatshirt like nobody else.
I'm remembering when Bledsoe got hurt, how nervous we all were that the backup kid Brady was leading the charge down the field. And then when Bledsoe was better and ready to play, Belichick stuck with him and that decision was widely debated in local media. They stopped debating pretty quickly, though.
it's so much more than just brady though (see 2008). some of us were talking in another thread about how this team is always prepared for a big game--all 3 phases. the defense is always one of the league's best (except this year though they are getting much better and will probably be better next year with all the picks belichick's accumulated). they rarely ever get out coached. top to bottom that organization is always money.
you conveniently ignored my question whether you think he wins multiple super bowls with mcnabb who i know you are not a fan of.
with mcnabb? what does that have to do with anything? i don't know. maybe? would he have won with kurt warner or vinny testaverde or matt cassell?
it is relevant because you questioned my original comments AND because you say andy reid is not a great coach because he hasn't won a super bowl yet. Well if Bellicheck couldn't win one with mcnabb is he really a greater coach because he lucked into tom brady? again not saying he isn't a great coach, he is, but his legacy has as much to do with having tom brady as it does mr. bellicheck himself. and he didn't win one with Matt Cassell, in fact didn't make the playoffs with Matt Cassel if i recall correctly.
are you seriously trying to compare andy reid to bill belichick? are you out of your mind? reid's a good coach but belichick can coach circles around him. like i've said many times you don't need to be great to win a super bowl. however you can't be considered great until you win one imo. greatness will find a way to get it done.
mcnabb was one of the beter qb's of the last decade (i realize that's hard to imagine right now, but he was). so yeah i think he could have won a sb up there. why not? he could have won one here under the right circumstances too.
when someone says bill walsh was a great coach, do you then say "well it was just because he got "lucky" with joe montana...?" ....same with lombardi/starr....knoll/bradshaw....johnson/aikman....etc, etc, etc
i brought up matt cassel because of your "lucky" comment. he drafted cassel even though cassel spent his entire college career as a back up. then backed up brady for 3 years. guy rode the bench for 7 straight years and the pates ended up winning 11 games with him.
bottom line, he's a great coach. and it's not totally because of tom brady--though he's an absolute beast. love brady. but every aspect of that team and organization is top notch. every year.
never said he wasn't a great coach but surely tom brady has added to his greatness. is he greater than some of those other coaches mentioned (and not mentioned), it's hard to say. Bill Walsh's offense revolutionized the game so I'd surely give him a nod over those others you list.
Look at the list below, I'm not sure how it would work if you put Marino with Belichick _ not well, I'm thinking. And I can't imagine Brady with Shula, either.

3 of the top 5 didn't win a super bowl together. that is pretty interesting.
So is that the other two won 4 and 3 super bowls together.
and that only one of them went 1-4 in conference championship games. :roll:
of course brady added to his greatness. just like all those other qb's added to their coaches greatness.
