The New England Patriots defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 24-20 to win the American conference championship and advanced to the Super Bowl for the 10th time and the third time in the last 4 years. And once again Tom Brady took his team farther than Dred Brees took his team despite all of Brees passing records. The Patriots under coach Belichick has been the most consistent team for over a decade and won more world championships since the Super Bowl era than any other team.
Brady, a quiet talking quarterback like Bart Starr, who also like Brady does not hold as many personal passing records as Brees, Manning or Farve, knows how to win as a team. The same trait that Starr had. And like Brady, won more world championships than Brees, Manning and Farve. Both Brady and Starr were consistent team winners.
Bill Belichick is the best football coach in the Super Bowl era and the most consistent. He has won 5 world championships with New England, more than any other coach. He and Vince Lombardi share many things in common. Both are teaching coaches, something that many coaches lack. Teaching is a large reason why both had such great success. They teach the team concept and both taught how important it is to know the fundamentals of the game. Belichick is the dominate coach in the NFL and no other even comes close.
The sad part for the NFL is that so many coaches that have come and gone with out learning anything from Belichick's success.
