From BRAVE AI:

As of 11 Jan 2024, Bill Belichick’s record without Tom Brady is 82-98, according to a Reddit post from 13 Nov 2023.1 Belichick’s record with Brady is 219-64, a 77% winning rate, equivalent to winning 13 games for each 17-game season. However, he has a pedestrian 80-93 regular-season record without Brady, equivalent to going 8-9 every year for a decade, according to a post from 17 Oct 2023.

So, without Tom, he’s nothing special.....................

I think Brady is the goat, but football is a team sport & the coaches are integral parts of that team. I don't believe Brady's run would have been as good without Bill Belicheck. The teams that Belichick built around Brady were just as important as Brady in all those superbowl wins.

“Even Tom Landry was fired.”

Landry got a highway named after him. People (me included) thought a lot of him.

These top NFL head coaches always seem to be undermined by the same thing: their insistence on functioning (either officially or behind the scenes) as the team's general manager in addition to their head coaching duties.

These jobs have become too complex in recent decades, and the skill sets required to succeed in them are very different.

It's no coincidence that Bill Parcells won two Super Bowls when George Young was the GM of the New York Giants (and arguably the best GM in the NFL since the AFL-NFL merger), but never won again when he moved on to other jobs and insisted on building his own rosters.

I’m hearing Alabama.

Are you serious? One, Alabama does not want to bring in another septuagenarian to replace one. Two, Belichick cannot pursue the all-time NFL wins record at the NCAA level.

[Red Badger]

I think Brady wanted to leave the Pats just to distance himself from Belichick. To show the world that it wasn’t just them as a pair, that he could do what he does sans Belichick.............

Landry got a highway named after him. People (me included) thought a lot of him.

I always remember what Don Meredith said about Tom Landry: He's a perfectionist. If he was married to Raquel Welch, he'd expect her to cook too.

I watched Welcome to Wrexham. Shelf life of a soccer coach seems to be very short lived. Soccer fans are really something else. (yes I know Philly fans can be quite rude and will throw snowballs at Santa)

In a recent match the away team fans were forbidden to take public transport so team owners who have big bucks arranged transportation for 1000s of fans. Also gave them a team scarf and some kind of cereal bar.

and as a weird side note..the way you brits pronounce FEATHERSTONEHAUGH is so incredibly weird with little connection to the actual letters..LOL

[RummyChick]

philly fans are calling for heads to roll. Eagles have had a stunning collapse.

[Red Badger]

Think that's weird? You ought to try Welsh sometime!...............

[Red Badger]

My wife thinks the Eagles are faking.................

I would agree with that, but Brady had all those years with Belichick, and the apprentice became the master. Had it been a different team, a different coach who knows if Brady would of endured as long as he did or been able to achieve the records he did. Brady had good teams around him for most of his years.

[RummyChick]

the owners of wrexham struggle to pronounce Welsh correctly but havent seen them try this one
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

this weatherman surely had to practice it a few times

That’s what I thought as well, but it is a rumor and when you think about it, a recruiting and big moolah dream.

[RummyChick]

if you havent seen Deadpool’s Emmy acceptance speech he does use a Welsh phrase...Anthony Hopkins (from Wales) tweeted it back to him

No way Tampa wins that Super Bowl without Brady.

All will be well if they win Monday, and in drawing the Bucs they got a good break.

I dont really pay much attention to the analytics of plays but this breakdown (to try to get him in the Hall of Fame) of what Jason Kelce does is pretty amazing.

I listen to their podcast. Travis said he cried while watching that video. He clearly looks up to his big brother.
