If you're a Patriots fan, thank Robert Kraft.If it wasn't for Robert Kraft, you would not have Bill Belichick as your Head Coach. If you didn't have Belichick, there would be no Super Bowls trophies residing in Foxboro, Massachusetts. Belichick is widely regarded as not only the best defensive mind in the NFL today, but also the best Head Coach.
Bill's career as an NFL coach or assistant spans 30 years. As a defensive coordinator, his high-water mark was with the staff of Bill Parcells's Giants of the 1980s. Among his charges was 1986 league MVP Lawrence Taylor. The Giants

The New York Giants' rematch with the New England Patriots surpassed last year's Super Bowl with a 47.0 rating.
Bill Belichick will go down as a great football coach but as a human being if you saw in interviews and most of all that one second left in Super Bowl XLII where he and the team walked off the field as a bunch of sore losers. As not one of his players went to congraulate the winners, the NY Giants. Plus, the spygate incident that will haunt him probably for the rest of his life. And that he really is a jerk as a human. Sorry if I offend any fans of his but doubt that he does have any fans since he got caught cheating and is a sore loser.
I remember when the Patriots hired Bill Belichick...I was nervous because all the talk was about how poorly he coached the Browns. Cleveland fans would call into the local sports radio station and laugh, saying we were in for a lot of trouble and the Patriots would be going downhill. Looking back, I wonder if those same Cleveland fans remember what they said, and wish they had Belichick coaching their team (instead of one of his former assistants). Make no mistake about it - I know Belichick would NOT be as successful without Tom Brady. But no one prepares his players for games, or can scheme an opposing team or player, like Belichick. He has an amazing memory for plays and tendencies, and uses that to his advantage. Bill Parcells, in my opinion, would never have won his Super Bowls with the Giants if it were not for Belichick. So I feel that Belichick is without a doubt one of the best ever to coach in the NFL, and he will absolutely be in the Hall of Fame one day.
Bill Belichick deserves so much admiration and respect in the world of professional football. His talent surpasses any of his colleagues in the League today, and he stands in a hall of greatness compared only to Lombardi and few others. He only needed the opportunity given to him by Robert Kraft and the talent to work with in the form of Tom Brady to turn the New England Patriots into the dynasty that they are. Each coach that works under him aspires to greatness in his shadow, thinking they can go on to lead in his same fashion, but no one can ever duplicate the magic that is Bill Belichick.
