Dierdorf: "This is Belichick's best year ever as a head coach" - New England Patriots Forums

I hate Dierdorf but he might have something when he says this might be the best coaching job in Belichick's tenure as a head coach in the NFL.

He said this is a team with less talent than BB ever had yet keeps this team in contention.

I would say the 2006 team was Bill's best coaching job...after all the team almost got to the SB with Reche Caldwell as the #1 WR and practically had guys off the streets take over an injury depleted secondary so I would put 2006 at the top with 2005 and this year in a close tie for second and 2001 after that.

Dierdorf should lay off the crack. Belichick has made plenty of mistakes, on and off the field this season. If we make a lot of noise in the playoffs, this would obviously change. But, as of right now, this is (by far) NOT Belichick's best coaching job ever.

For me, Belichick's two best coaching jobs were the first Super Bowl win in 2001 and last year after losing Brady, even though we missed the playoffs.

He did not say that. He said this MAY be ONE OF the best jobs BB has done.
Why exaggerate it?

4TH and 2 and sending guys home for being 5 minutes late brings that to the forefront.

He said it may well be the best coaching job BB ever did ever with the lack of talent on this team.

Thats exactly what he said if you listened to that buffoon during the telecast.......

Wow, according to some pundits here, the game has passed him by.

Anyway, I think his best coaching job was 2001.

Deirdorf is on some of that good stuff. He nearly creamed himself after a 3 yard pass to Kevin Faulk.

2001 by far

Except it doesn't because the 4th and 2 was 100% the correct call and I'm sure he'd do the same thing every single time. Not to mention it worked, except for a bobble and bad spot!

If you really believe Peyton was going to struggle to go from the IND 30 to the NE 30 in a minute, then you weren't paying attention to the game.

I'd say that's probably the second best, IMO. I think his best was between 2006 and 2008, though we lost in the AFCCG one year and didn't even make the playoffs the other.
