For some time I've been meaning to devote a thread exclusively to what makes Belichick one of, if not the greatest coach in the history of the NFL.
I would like this thread to be a collection of information, links, anecdotes, and technical explanations, and for others to contribut to it.
Please keep it free of hot takes and opinions which I'll be asking the mods to delete, whenever they show up.
For me, what makes Belichick so good is because of the following traits he has:
• He never stops thinking about the game, and about how to improve the team, or himself.
• He is very pragmatic. He is not afraid to discard what doesn't work for him or the organization.
• His attention to details, in all three phases of the game, is second to none.
• His work ethic is second to none.
• He is a serious student of the game, and has only the highest respect for the game.
• His ability to master all facets of what it takes to operate an NFL franchise, from cap management to roster, to nutrition, to scouting, to public relations, is second to none.
• He is a savant when it comes to breaking down film. His ability to see pattern in the morass of game films is underrated.
• Nothing is too small for him, nothing ever gets by him, be it tendency, habit, or any possible way to gain advantage.
