Being able to sit behind Bledsoe and have Belichick as his HC is a pretty great situation to be in


Now it is.

But back then, Belichick was just another coach in the NFL. His last coaching stint in the NFL had been five seasons with the Cleveland Browns from 1991-1995. He finished below .500 in four out of five of those seasons. So there was absolutely no guarantee of anything when Belichick took over the Patriots in 2000.

In Brady's rookie season, and the first season with Belichick as the head coach of the Patriots, New England went 5-11. It was pure chance that allowed Brady to become the starting QB in the second game of the '01 season.
