Re: Are you smarter than Bill Belichick?
I'm definitely smarter than BB... at managing an NFL Madden roster.  But that doesn't mean my ideas would work out so well in real life application. BB has probably forgotten more about football Xs and Os than most of us even know. That doesn't mean that he's infallible though.
I'd really like him to hire some better assistants who have the backbone to 'stand up to him' and implement better gameplans. But it looks like we're getting more of the status quo in terms of assistant coaching in 2010. I HOPE that means that BB thinks his current assistants are evolving enough to put out the best competitive team in 2010. But I'm not sure if that's really the case and he just can't find the right people he wants to bring in.
Bottom line is that results speak louder than words. If the team goes to the Superbowl in 2010, we'll say what a genius he is. If it's one and done again, we'll be cursing his lack of changes in an area that even HE was quoted as saying was lacking in 2009. Since BB gets so much credit for this team's success, he's going to get a large share of the blame too when things don't go well. And I think that's fair, it's called accountability.
