Belichick will go down as one of the greatest coaches in the history of the NFL. With his no-nonsense demeanor and an ability to find the weakness in the most solid opponents, Belichick is well respected by those he coaches, and well feared by those he plays.

Belichick is going to have to fine tune his elaborate defensive schemes if he wants a shot at the Super Bowl. Newcomer wide receiver Randy Moss is another potential negative factor. It appears that Terrell Owens broke down Bill Parcells last season, likely being a factor in his retirement. Will Moss — with his Owens-like attitude — do the same to Belichick? Only time will tell.

I thought this was some weak-bottomed crap as I was reading it...the bio at the end of the article led to a big "ah so!"

(Donkey fan with delusion of Fin-adequacy, too cool.)

Big effin' difference. Parcells didn't have control of those particular groceries. The decision was made for him. On this team, Belichick gets saddled with no one. If Kraft or Pioli wanted Moss, and Belichick said, "No." It would have ended there. Moss is here, because Belichick wanted him here.
