Deus Irae

Lombardi never won without Starr, and Walsh never won without Montana.

Steve:Section 102

All the great coaches have had a franchise QB. If I am correct, Joe Gibbs is the only one with multiple wins with more than one starting QB. (Theismann, Williams, Rypien) Parcells did it with Simms and Hostetler, with Hostetler stepping in in mid December, but Simms was the starter throughout the season.

it sure would be fun to see if BB could do it with a different QB, not that I want to change and run Brady out of town.

There was no doubt in my mind that he's here for at least another 5 years. He LOVES it. There is not stress in the job for him. How many HC's do you see coaching up his players as much as he does during games. He's not just orchestrating the team, he's down in the trenches digging. Anyone who's been at a TC session knows what I mean. He's individually coaching players all over the field. BB might have earned the right to stand above it and just watch, but that's not him.

I can't think of another HC who fits the great Marv Levy comment (another guy who coached well into his 70's) "Where would you want to be, but right here, right NOW."

Tom Landry and Roger Staubach, Chuck Noll and Terry Bradshaw. Even though Shula won 2, he couldn't win with Dan "Bleepin" Marino!

Both BB and Kraft have very good reason for not making his contracts public, IMO.

I'm sure they don't. And what you're sharing is pure speculation (yours or others). The only definitive information we have are the rare statements such as Jonathan Kraft made this week or Bob Kraft made in 2007.

We just need to accept that we don't know what we don't know. Admittedly, that's never stopped people before...

Belichick's contract was forged of steel and blood in 327 BC by the Greek god Poseidon. To keep the humans from learning of the existance of such a powerful contract, Poseidon cast it into the sea, where it remained for the next 2,328 years. Then, in the year 2000 AD, a local New England businessman pulled it from the depths of the ocean.

Some say it was with Poseidon's trident, others say it's with the Devil's pitchfork

I'd put Weeb Ewbank on the list of greats. He won with Unitas in the 50s and Namath in '68 beating Shula's Colts.

With that said, in 1972 Shula won playoff games with Griese and Morrall. Pretty amazing.
