I guess you could say the same thing about every successful coach.

Phil Jackson had Michael Jordon and Kobe Briyant. Vince Lombardi had Bart Starr, and Paul Horning. Paul Brown had Otto Graham and Jim Brown. Chuck Noll had Terry Bradshaw and Joe Greene. Bill Walsh had Joe Montana and Jerry Rice. And, John Wooden had Lew Alcindor and Bill Walton.

Jim Boeheim won one NC when he had the best college player that year - Carmello.

Obviously the players play the game. You need talent to win.

But Belichick gives great players the best chance to win.

And, of course, Belichick drafted and developed Tom Brady - and he made the decision to play a player with very little experience over an all-pro QB Drew Bledsoe when nobody would have done that.

The fact is that Bledsoe actually got the Pats to their SB against the Rams. And, I suspect that BB would have won plenty of SBs with Bledsoe has his quarterback.

Belichick's record is remarkable. It will never be duplicated.

He won six Super Bowls with the Pats - while losing two others on two crazy catches. And he was directly responsible for two additional Super Bowls wins with the Giants.

Any effort to minimize what he accomplished I think is a tough thing to do.
