Bill Belichick: What Makes Him Great 

bill is greater than pop there is no comparison between the two sports from a coaching perspective

Duncan, Ginobli, Parker, and Kawhi on one side, and Brady for the other. Players win games.

@@theproperenglishman Tony, Manu were experiments. Kawhi needed to work on his jumper when he came into the league and Timmy was a once in a lifetime player. I think its on both sides of the coin tho. Brady/Belichick, Timmy/Pop, MJ/Phil Jackson. It doesn't work unless both sides buy into each other

I mean, when it comes to winning, nobody can come close to the dominance of Scotty Bowman. But I think football coaches have a much larger impact on the game, play to play, than a coach in any other sport. So I'd argue that the difference between Belichick and the worst coach in the league is greater than Bowman and the worst coach in the NHL. But statistically, Bowman's got the strongest case.

KJ bill and Phil Jackson are the goats

Exactly! I read a quote from Brad Stevens and it was about how he doesn’t create a system, he creates a system around the players styles, needs and fit. I think the spurs have a system that values the team first (which I like) but the players are tired of it and are turned off, but Brad Stevens is doing it the right way and he’s learned from Bill Belichick about how to build that. That’s why I think bill and the patriots have kept it going, they do value the players but you can’t mess around or you’ll get cut or something else. One sour apple doesn’t define the entire batch and I saw a report of a guy who hated playing in New England but that’s his loss, and he never played and seemed like a selfish guy. Belichick created a great environment and that’s why they always keep winning. Thanks for comment 🙏

Cole Adams oh yeah I grew up around a bunch of patriots players who said they loved him but he’s tough and said it’s not for everybody. It’s players like Edelman , Wes welker and Brady who thrived in the system because they refuse to quit, and players like moss and Dillion who wanted to prove everybody wrong and show they still have something left in the tank that make the patriots so great.

Yes sir! I’m a patriots fan and Bill Belichick signed my football back in 2013 at training camp (which was my first time going there) which I got so lucky and he came right up to me and we had a quick conversation and he smiled so I could just tell he was a great guy. And you’re so right, he’s not for everyone because he is tough, but his goal is to make you better and discipline is the only way to be great. So if they can handle it he’ll make you amazing, but once you get over your head he’ll ship you out. Brady made Belichick and Belichick made Brady. Iron sharpens iron and those two are the best. I think just hate when people hate on them because I always lean in the middle and you really can’t hate those guys. They win but they do it through hard work which is the ultimate respect. Belichick is the 🐐

When you speak of Bill always playing a players strength, is something I was taught 40yrs ago as shipfitter, my Leadman told me “everyone has their strengths, finding them, and using them, brings us all success, trying to work a weakness just leads to defeat.” Belichick has mastered that, and it should be the hallmark of any good leader .

Justin Clark don't be dummer than you are dummy

Nathan Czerniak dummy

Daaamn! Burn!! 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

Nathan Czerniak u look like a moron

Imhere Tofuckyowife Exactly. And Belichick DID do it with other QBs. They went 11-5 with Matt Cassel in 2008 (with their defense ranked 10th as opposed to 4th the year before), and they went 4-1 with Jimmy G in 2015 when Brady was suspended. Another big misconception is that Brady has “led” all these 4th quarter comebacks. But they fail to realize that in all of “his” 4th quarter comebacks, his defenses allowed 3 points or less. So it’s easy to come back when your defense holds them.

Nathan Czerniak Bill is the greatest but Brady had a HUGE part of Bill Success in New England

Your knowledge and objectivity makes you marvel at Belichicks genius of making the playoffs once in 7 seasons without Brady?

@@caelachyt you’re a small brained NFL fan, we understand

@@fahimabrar277 Coming from a tiny-brained Pats fan, I'll toss your observation in the circular file where it belongs.

@@caelachyt your shitty belichick fake tells me everything about your knowledge of sports, you shouldn’t speak in public or you’d get roasted and laughed out of a sports bar

@@fahimabrar277 - Spare me, goofy. The FACTS speak for themselves. I have no problem besting mindless sports dolts like you in a sports bar, LOL.

Doug Dorsey I truly hope so.

Your words are spot on!

exactly..... the system

The draft is also slanted against winning teams because they pick later on

Don't forget cheating 101

Bob Kraft is an amazing owner. He does indeed deserve a lot of credit.

Thats because Belichick is also the GM

Mike Tomlin knows that all too well.

Xavier Zattoni lmao that’s his point. Kraft lets the football people handle football. Which is why he is a great owner.

*THE GOAT OF COACHING* 🐐 🔥

yeah when they were 11 and 13 win teams

Xavier Zattoni b4 he came browns were 3 and 13 bud. he made them a playoff team.

@@jordansheppard6643 ok bud.

1994 Browns last playoff win ... 11-5 reg season ... only good yr BB had there ... 95 was a mess but understandable ... team moved drafted Ogden & Ray Lewis & well Arts a sack o shit lol ...

Ernesto Sosa: True! And he beat the Patriots. lol.

Bill belichick probably has fancy way to deal the poker cards

Gary Wildey to each his own. Is that a problem?

I would, I might learn something

H Brady reconstructed his contract so that helps ALOT

Yep Bill is lucky enough to have a owner that let's him run the football team and manage it. And have the final say so. Most coaches don't have that luxury and have a owner interfering w shit

I'm a Bears fan and I hear that's what our current GM is trying to do after the previous one just paid lots of money for the best free agents and no depth/plan for when they got injured. Obviously I'm not expecting da Bears to be like the Pats but it's definitely looking better for us so far

Ppl don't realize how much the league has changed because of billy B and the patriots. The running back position is devalued cuz ppl see how the patriots keep winning super bowls without a clear cut #1 running back. The jamming receivers for the 1st 10 yards has been changed from 10 to 5 cuz the rams bitched and cried about how Isaac Bruce and company got mugged in that super Bowl against the pats. The hitting the QB rule was changed cuz of Brady's injury. The kick off has been changed because Bill is the one that proposed the rule change and others signed off on it cuz it made sense. There use to barely be any white wide receivers, now cuz of how amazing Wes Welker was now every team has a white wide receiver lol I can go on and on. Bill is amazing!

Bryan Haak a

You heard correct lol and that’s a big reason why he wouldn’t trade Jimmy G to the Browns was because he doesn’t want to help them. If they kept Belichick maybe the browns would be the empire of the NFL and not the patriots 😳

Cole Adams yup. But every team has the dynasty. I hope... lol.

Who’s your nfl team? I’m assuming Cleveland 😝

Cole Adams you assumed right. I don’t really care that they suck ha. Just have to stick with ur teams. Hopefully they will have their year.

But Bill was a coach for the Browns from 1991-1995, which would move to Baltimore and found the Ravens franchise and would win the Super Bowl in their first 5 years of existence, as well as establish a consistently dominant defense every year, which Bill help create a foundation for. When the Browns came back in 1999 they were a completely new team under new ownership with only one player from the previous franchise. So really Bill has no reason to have an issue with the franchise, right? And to be honest, looks kind of petty in context. Or at least the context I have, just trying to start a discussion.

I look back to that interview every time I want a laugh 😂

Yeah or.... amplify the audio. Not an impossible feat in the digital audio age.

Yeah. To be honest I didn't even understand the point of that part of the video. Kind of confusing.

@@wesleystafford8521 He was talking about an offense being on the one yard line and that they should always try to draw the defense offsides because if they get an offside or delay of game penalty it's half the distance to the goal which is half a yard. So basically the offense is not penalized but the defense would be, by bringing the ball out to the 6 yard line and giving the offense space. And then the next play is the Patriots doing just that in the Superbowl.

*THE GOAT OF COACHING* 🐐 🔥

Mickey Hill he cheats, that’s how he wins

@@asher2102 please! he is the greatest of all time. bet you wish he coached your team

steve littiken I don’t want a guy who supports trump to coach my team

@@asher2102 that explains everything. i like winners. winners win because of their commitment to doing the best and being the best. they bkth want to win and win they do. maga baby !

If McVay is any kind of man, he's trying to learn from this man. The old master beat the young upstart this time, but the young upstart has time to learn. McVay will be back. He's one of the best young coaches out there.

You realize there are thirty other teams that would trade with McVay??

Agrees hagam !! Bill a grandmaster strategist..mccvay is very young and guru !! He'll be back

*hahahaha sean's still young*

yep and cheats all the time

@@CHIEFS_DYNASTY_ the sooner you let go of that narrative, the more you'll enjoy football

@@CHIEFS_DYNASTY_ Most geniuses and revolutionary thinkers push the edge of the rules at times. That said the only time specifically Bill was actually slapped for cheating was when he ignored the rules on where to put his camera while taping a walkthrough that more or less everyone else was also taping.

OIPIO jkilh kw‼️

God bless you Dylan 🙏

Ya think

They would be a decent team without him

Ur a good fool

He is *the best* coach

eklashur rahman the Alex Ferguson of the NFL

eklashur rahman it is objectively harder to win a championship and sustain that success in American football than English football. Until recently there were only 4 or 5 teams in England who were capable of winning the league in any given year. Ferguson never had to deal with a league that *by design* makes it extremely difficult to retain star players and stockpile young talent. Things like the salary cap, free agency, and draft level the playing field while in English football you can literally buy the best players at either pro or youth level and treat them like property until you sell them to another team. Belichick has constantly had to innovate and pioneer new ways of having success throughout his career. He has shifted focus back and forth between offense and defense, and he has figured out new ways of operating within the draft and free agent markets to find quality players. Every time Ferguson lost a big player he bought another one and he played 4-4-2 his entire career. Belichick has started a revolution in how fans and coaches think about the game at least twice. Ferguson also had incredible access and power within the English FA whereas the most famous scandal in recent American sports was the NFL fucking over belichick during deflate gate. I am not a Belichick fan, in fact he totally screwed over my favorite team (Browns) at the beginning of his career. But he’s a better coach and manager of a team than Ferguson.

Or Pep Guordiola

Alex Ferguson didnt have to deal with salary caps

Nobody come even close to sir Alex Ferguson!! No this faken cheater for sure.

I don't know if he's the best FB coach *ever*, but he's certainly the best coach in the free agency era … by far. It's hard to compare eras because there are different pressures, etc. Bill Belechik is outstanding at getting smart and tough players who aren't as valued by other teams, and getting more out of them than anyone else. And turning teams full of this sort of player with some stars added in, into champions. Remember that first SB team in the early 2000's? That was practically a team of no-names with very few real stars. Heck, even Brady wasn't really a star at that point. Oh, he was definitely a rising talent, a star in the making, but no one would have put him in the same conversation with the great QBs at that time. And at that time, who would have ever thought that Brady would end up being considered the GOAT, or that the Brady-led Pats would win SIX Super Bowls (with the possibility of more)? Another thing. I think that Brady and Belechik benefit from each other. Belechik is great at building excellent teams and strong defenses, and managing the salary cap. And Brady gives him an unquestioned leader on the field and in the clubhouse, not to mention all his on-field heroics. I don't think that one could do what the Pats have done in the past nearly 18 years without the other. They may arguably be the greatest long term head coach/QB tandem in NFL history.

Best coach in pro sports ever

Thanks Justin!

Bill Belichick Hired Matt La,Patricia To Be The Dark Patriots Offensive Coordinator. How Did That's Move Work Out?

Oh shut up, Brian Clough won two European cups, back to back, with a small club

@@Busybee65 Did he win 13 League titles? ....Suddenly you're all quiet.

@@Busybee65 He also won with Aberdeen.

Lol you have mini bill in Matt Patrica! Happy for him and he will do great 👍🙏

328am I’m from NJ and I’m a huge pats fan

Yep. Point made too. Shows how one decision he makes breaks the wheel. It was a power play to humble Brady.

Torched? Not even close...they lost but the defense didn’t get torched. Close game which came down to the last second.

Butler earned the sideline. 5 rings. There may be more.

joe ure an idiot butler was terrible in 2017

joe stfu you aint shit

Rick Pitino’s Wallet unfortunately you’re right

Efie Macias Boy it’s the preseason who even watches that garbage

Eli And Peyton's teams are a lifetime combined 5-1 against BB in Championship Games... Giants 2-0, Broncos 2-0, Indy 1-1... BB and Brady, with all their titles, you know they still have nightmares about those two boys... Ray Lewis too!

both superbowls came down to one play and the giants had better defences - so noy so much better.

Jason Celli maybe Eli but with a 66% or better win percentage against Peyton I think they sleep easy

Fergy was great but he wasn't in a league designed for parity with the draft and salary cap.

@@tmpnz3 if a draft and salary cap were the key ingredients for league parity, then how is it that the same teams are constantly winning every year in the NFL and NBA?

@@doesnotexist305 apart from thw patriots they don't l, that's what makes it so impressive. Last year the the Vikings and Jaguars looked like defensive jugganauts this year don't even make the playoffs. Look at the seahawks with legion of boom. One of the best defensive rosters ever assembled, made it too two suberbowls and won 1 and then then the salary cap took a effect and team was disbanded.

@@doesnotexist305 i really rate fergy too mate, no knock on him. His run and stranglehold om the epl was incredible.

Ferg is overrated by united fans

How old are you? Brady was basically a game manager for the first 4 years of his career while the Pats D (under Belichick) mopped the floor with the league and led them to their first 3 Super Bowls. Plus Belichick's sub .500 time came with the freaking Browns. And he took them to the playoffs. And WON A GAME. Name any other coach that could do that.

The Slippery Fish again, record with, and record without. 2 completely different stories, the one difference being Brady. And I’m 43years old, I saw the 85 Patriots Super Bowl, and the Green Bay one with Bledsoe, that has zero to do with Belichiks record without Brady. Cleveland you have that 2 year excuse, and that year with Bledsoe in NE, and Cassel, and yet nowhere near the same record as when he had Brady. If his attitude and system won all those rings, then he would have a track record of more than just 1 successful QB.

Complete Controll the interesting thing is people say Tom is good because of Bill and they say Bill is good because of Tom. But if you read the following books “War Room” and “Patriots Reign” you would see that the two are incredibly smart and know their football. How great they work together. That Bill really is some football guru and that Tom is a Bill Belichick on the field except he has an arm. They compliment each other and are as good as they are because they work great together

Danny Boy I agree it’s a relationship thing, but success lies in executing on the field, Tom Brady, and I would go so far as 75/25 Brady over Belichik. We have proof of his record without Brady, Brady only has him for reference, Tom by default. Bills numbers without him make him not even a sniffing Hall of Fame bum. Walsh, Montana. That’s the only comparable type relationship where both were responsible for the others success, although both possibly could’ve done it in other situations. I agree with you though, it’s a relationship. You ask NE fans you get Brady or Belichik, not both. I’d guess fans go 80% Brady.

Dude, since weeding out the players who wouldn’t fit and installing his culture in NE that first year, Belichick is 14-6 without Brady. 11-5 with a QB whose last start was against high schoolers and 3-1 with a QB who had zero starts in the NFL. Remember Brady gets to pass to Belichick-coached receivers, gets blocked for by Belichick-coached lineman, and hands off and passes to Belichick-coached TEs and backs. He’s the GOAT of any sports coach in history.

Now I love my Manchester United as much as anyone, but SAF operated in a league with no salary cap, top pick of talents, and with the league parity being shit as there would be Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool putting up a fight(before the sack of shit Man City was bought out by that filthy Mansour and threw money at everything).

Ill say its interesting to compare the coaches/managers. However, both sports require the same amount per side and yes American Football gets the substitutionon every play, but there is no way Soccer (im American) could compete if it had the NFLs rules. Those skirts whine if their knee touches grass. Belichick is more impressive, go back to knitting. Its not even close

Who??? What sport is that?? I had to google it...soccer?!??! Are you serious...lmao. American football is far more complex of a sport than soccer could ever hope to be. That's why it is only played in this country at such a high level, you need to live it from a young age to even have a chance to be successful on a level as high as the NFL and in terms of coaching you are so far off it's sad. Typical of someone who plays soccer and I'm not being cute here... Soccer and the strategic thinking and planning that goes into it, is a game for kids and simple people from 3rd world countries who cant even read. The NFL, football on this level, takes so much more intelligence and knowledge and discipline than soccer is even designed to need. It's a joke. Relax with comparisons to the NFL and soccer like it's even in the same realm if competitive sports. Go kick a ball around or something and remember, dont use your hands lmao. Moron.

Omg he said "sir" alex..... I cant even imagine starting and argument backing a grown man who's name starts with "sir". This is america david red devil lol. Stop trying to bring soccer into a conversation when grown men are speaking
