Actually Belichick is pretty well adjusted. Parcells was talking about himself.
I think hard work, consistency and intelligence are the qualities that have caused him to be one of the best coaches in history.
And I think this stuff is just silly. There's only one Lombardi and BB's job is to win it. Case closed.
He gave Mangini a chance to be a co-ordinator before he was ready and he rewarded BB by accepting the head coaching job on the one team he really hates.
Rather than that made up "cold and cunning" phrase, why not BB in his own words about whether he wishes Mangini well when he doesn't play us.
Q: Do you want to see Eric do well in his career, except this week against you?
B B: I'm more concerned about us doing well. Really, I don't sit around the league cheering for everybody else. I cheer for the Patriots. That's my team. I want to see us do well and I want to do everything I can to help us do well and that's really where my focus is. Everybody else is on their own
