On this day, January 27, the year 2000, Bill Belichick was hired as HC of the NEP.

Here's the NY Times article from that day 17 years ago...

PRO FOOTBALL; Patriots Hire Belichick, and Everyone's Happy

"everyone's happy"... LOL... I think some people wound up a little happier than others.

except for BB himself, who was still recovering from "inner turmoil" (or trauma, whatever) from being the HC of the NYJ.

Should it really be called "Happy" Belichick Day?

Just "Belichick Day..." seems more appropriate.

(The ellipses suggest a It Is What It Is at the end)

Fascinating to look back in time and read that story. I really liked the extra points at the end -- the "miscellaneous" stuff. Every single person listed had a pivotal role in creating the dynasty and the current culture today. I pasted it below:

EXTRA POINTS

Coach BILL PARCELLS said the Jets had given the offensive coordinator CHARLIE WEIS and the defensive assistant ERIC MANGINI permission to talk to any team about any job, which means they don't necessarily have to be given promotions to be released from their contracts with the Jets. BILL BELICHICK said Thursday that he would talk to both of them about joining the Patriots' staff. . . . Linebacker MO LEWIS was added to the Pro Bowl roster yesterday.
