Belichick catches Shula

Spot on, BB had no problem pushing TB, (the GOAT), out the door with (no compensation in return). Why should RK have a problem pushing BB out the door? Also what about the fans! The product on the field this season is terrible...that's on both Bill and the Krafts. Bill has shown me that he can't get it done w/o Brady, as a defensive coach he's great as a head coach/GM w/o Brady he's meah. Four years is enough time to rebuild in this league...time to move on. That being said my bet is Kraft will stand pat.

Brady left in free agency. Never in the history of sports has a player been paid when leaving to join another team.
 
is shula even a top 10 coach all-time?

i ran through some things last night, case could be made he's at 10 or even outside the 10
 
Bill had more losing seasons in the last 4 years (3) than Shula* had in his entire 33 year career (2).
I did not care for Shula... AT ALL. But that right there is an impressive feat.
 
Belichick had a lot of firsts this season. None of them good but seeing his name above Jeff Fisher is something.

is it though? you're talking an era of 14 games, limited free agency, no salary cap....once you built a team, it generally stayed together.......fewer teams, less travel.......there were a lot of factors that helped teams consistently win

shula was good......but......i'd say tomlin's ability to be consistently mediocre is as impressive or more
 
Andy Reid is at .641, so he'll pass Belichick, who keeps on sliding in win%, next season.

Perhaps so, time will tell.

It's a record that now Bill owns a tie in and will clearly own outright next season.

But it means very little because of the number of games he's coached. Reid isn't far behind and also likely will surpass 165 losses. Again, winning percentage is more telltale for a coach on the all-timers scale. The standard of excellence is 60 percent, comparing Belichick to Fisher is misleading unless you want to contrast their win totals as well.
