Dungee is the only other coach with a similar resume in the past nine years, not as good as Belichick's, but certainly similar. Dungee's is a bit more consistent, but he has won fewer Super Bowls.
'Bill Belichick was hired by Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft on Jan. 27, 2000 and is in his ninth season as Patriots head coach in 2008. In his first eight seasons in New England, Belichick has delivered three Super Bowl championships, four conference titles, six division crowns and 14 playoff victories, while posting an overall record of 105-40. Belichick directed the Patriots to victories in Super Bowls XXXVI (2001), XXXVIII (2003) and XXXIX (2004), and claimed the 2007 AFC Championship. New England's 14 playoff victories in the 2000s are tied for the highest total in any decade in NFL history.'
Happy Anniversary!

What?
Dungy is not even close and certainly not consistent - since 2001 Dungy is 7-7 in the playoffs. 4 of those wins came in 2006 when the Colts won the Super Bowl. Of the 7 losses, 5 or 6 came in the Colts first playoff game (wild card or divisional)
Dungy coached the colts for 7 years. In that time, the patriots won one more regular season game than the colts. The colts NEVER missed the playoffs. In fact, Dungy's personal HC streak is 10 years in the playoffs. Belichick missed the playoffs twice in that seven-year period, three times in the decade.
I strongly agree that the patriots are the best of the decade. I strongly disagree that Dungy and the colts are inconsistent.
