Mangini: Belichick will be in the Hall by Steve King for scout.com
Current Browns head coach Eric Mangini and Bill Belichick, who had that same job a decade and a half ago, may not exactly be best buddies after their falling out in New England.
But Mangini won’t let that stand in the way of his honest assessment of the job Belichick is doing as head coach of the Patriots.
“Bill Belichick will be in the Hall of Fame someday,” he said in matter-of-fact fashion before Saturday’s training camp practice during his daily press conference.
The comment was in a response to a question about quarterback Tom Brady being possibly the only future Pro Football Hall of Famer on the Belichick-coached Patriots teams that won three Super Bowls in a four-year period from 2001-04, and then saw their bid for a perfect season ruined when they lost to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl following the 2007 season. On Saturday morning, during the annual HOF weekend, the Hall unveiled a new Super Bowl exhibit.
