Do you even know how his cheating scheme was supposed to work? Or are you just crying foul because it is cool to hate him?
Even with every signal, there is just too many other variables to even matter. Sure he wasnt supposed to do it, but this isnt madden football where if you know the current play, you have a minute or 2 to adjust your defence and change plays.
I have no love for the guy, but he isnt the devil that everyone claims he is. Sure he is a press nightmare, but that has nothing to do with coaching.
The guy gets an F for press, an F for being a husband, an F for having fans like him, but an A+ for coaching in the NFL.
Year after year with no name players??? That's a joke right?
Here's a few of his "no names"
Randy Moss
Junior Seau
Corey Dillon
Rodney Harrison
Deltha O'Neal
Mike Vrabel
None of these players were drafted by the Patriots. This doesn't include the long list of household names he has had play for him.
I will give him credit, his is a great coach. He has a blemish on his resume because of the cheating issues, but still a great coach.
Still not the greatest coach. Shula, Walsh, Landry, Knoll, Lombardi (when it becomes the Belichick trophey I will retract this statement) are still ahead of him. IMO.
