‘Cleveland ’95: A Football Life’ - featuring Bill Belichick

[BigMike]

This is a great and sad....you feel bad for Cleveland yet if Modell didnt f up, BB wouldnt be here.....

The last 10 minutes of this thing is awesome...thanks Modell!!!

Mangini calling in the Ray Lewis draft pick for the Ravens is unreal.

Amazing group of talented football minds assembled in one place. Really makes you appreciate Belichick even more, and the coaching tree that started with Parcells.

 

[Horace's Ivories]

wow - that was great..

 

[NinjaZX6R]

Amazing. Still glad that Modell fired Bill.

 

[BigMike]

Modell fired BB - how foolish, and what an asshat move to take an nfl icon team and move it to Baltimore. How did he get into debt?

Really puts the whole Cleveland era of BB into a different perspective.

An engaging slice of NFL history and especially the birth of the Belichick's rise to stardom and the extension of his influence through the NFL to Baltimore, Atlanta, Kansas City, New York, Detroit, etc. (not to mention Alabama and Iowa). Must see viewing.

That was an incredible program but it seemed almost misnamed. It was like the Belichick story part 2 but focusing on his coaching tree. I can't believe how many good football people came out of that organization. I loved it.

 

[Reckedtrek]

I enjoyed the show very much. NF films really does an outstanding job.

I like the part where BB is telling one of his coaches "They (the media) will ask you about what's going on. Just tell them we're focused on this weeks opponent." (paraphrased)

So much knowledge, so much influence on today's NFL, yet we have quite a few here who actually seem to think they can tell BB how it should REALLY be done.

Watching this, and seeing how Belichick's young group looked up to him, and still credit him with THEIR successes, just shows you what a football god Belichick really is. What an amazing thing, every assistant coach/scout credits BB, even that turncoat Mangina still rave about Belichick. I can understand other teams and other teams fans disliking BB, he seems like such a mean curmudgeon to them, but he really is an amazing football genius and football god. Can't say enough about the show, and about Belichick. My man crush for him has risen tenfold. Wow, great show, somewhat sad, but incredibly amazing. No matter how far up the food chain some of these guys now are, they still say those times working for Belichick were their favorite times.

Belichick on the exercise bike watching game film had me rolling. So many successful organizations can give credit to BB.

I found one if the most interesting parts was when he said one of the biggest things he learned was how much outside influence can have. Basically I took it as him explaining why he so tight lipped and "hard with the media" as he had a coaching job and collection of assistants ripped out from under him once and he will be damned if anything other then his football acumen will cost him a job.

A lesson learned.

Reading through Browns forums for some schadenfreude.

A lot of depression, what if's and respect gained for our BB.


That's why i'm constantly wondering how smart of an idea is it for coaches to get constantly canned with not much time given to mold the team according to their vision. Rebuilding is a process.

Not everyone has Belichick's vision.

That is true but how often do these new coaches take a ****ty team and make it into a contender year after year before getting booted?


Harbaugh has recently worked for the 49ers but most of the talent and players were already in place on D and the O is still Davis and Frank Gore with Alex Smith doing his best not to turn the ball over.

Excellent perspective on BB and how all Modell/Cle thing went down.
After watching it,it shows me even more of a douche Mangini is and when I saw them hangin dummies on rope I thought where's one for Erica.

 

[Kontradiction]

I'm still amazed at how absolutely stacked that coaching staff was...

And then there was Mike "Manboobs" Tannenbaum, who is probably more to blame than Mangini for the whole spygate thing. I forgot that that weasel got his start under BB also. What a nauseating individual.

That page is full of gold.

At one point, they snuck into a Boston College football practice together to practice scouting.
