Bill Belichik was 36-44 in his stint as head coach of the Cleveland Browns. He was 5-11 in his final year. Five years later, he got a second chance with the New England Patriots. He went 5-11 in year one and since then 2001-date has never had a losing record, has won 13 of 15 AFC East titles, and four Super Bowl championships.

Belichick was preceded in New England by a guy named Pete Carroll. Carroll was head coach of the Jets for one disastrous season in 1994, going 6-10 and losing his last five games. He got a second shot with Patriots and started well but missed the playoffs in year three and lost his job. He then went to USC, went 97-19 with one national championship, and finished in the top 5 rankings for seven consecutive years. He then went to Seattle where he has gone 64-37-1 with three division titles, two Super Bowl appearances and one Super Bowl championship.

Not saying O is either of these guys. Just saying that failing at a head coaching gig ten years ago is no reason to deny him a shot today if he continues to prove out he can coach the Tigers to victory.

Those comparisons are retarddd and belichick did pretty damn good for having to be a coach for the browns. Sick of these comparisons. Also belichick isn't as dependent on Both coordinators as Orgeron is. He literally just walks around,chest bumps, and chews bubblegum on the sideline. All he is is a hypeman

Comparing "failing" of BB and Pete Carroll going 7-9 or 8-8 mixed in with playoff seasons to O having historically bad seasons at Ole Miss when the coaches before him and after him saw 8 and 9 win seasons is just disingenuous
