The record speaks for itself. After missing the playoffs in his first season at New England he made the playoffs eight of 10 years — winning the AFC East each season, including five straight — and reached the Super Bowl four of those times. Oh, yeah, he also won three Super Bowls in four years. He was the first coach to go 16-0, the first to win 14 or more regular-season games four times and the only one to win 21 straight regular-season games. He just completed a season where his quarterback became the first unanimous MVP, where he was named the game’s Coach of the Year and where his team led the league in regular-season victories … again. Oh, and did I mention he’s won at least 10 regular-season games the past 10 years and has the best winning percentage among current head coaches with 100 games of experience? So he lost his last three playoff games. Big deal. Tell me another coach you’d trust in one game. In fact, every time he meets a league MVP in the playoffs, he beats him … and let me count the ways: Kurt Warner in 2001; Peyton Manning and Steve McNair in 2003; Manning in 2004; LaDainian Tomlinson in 2006. Belichick is 14-5 in the playoffs with New England, 3-1 in Super Bowls and a three-time Coach of the Year winner. He doesn’t just make it to the all-decade list; he makes it to the all-time one, too, a slam dunk as a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
