Billick took over & won a SB in 2 seasons with the Ravens & Harbaugh eventually replaced him & won another.

The 6 seasons preceding Belichick in Clevend the Browns( Ravens) made 5 playoff appearances ,won 4 AFC Central divisions & made 3 AFC Championship games.


this is also a tad disingenuous. The Browns made the AFC CG for the 3rd time in 4 years in 1989 but started 2-7 in 1990 and fired Bud Carson in his 2nd season and finished that year 3-13. They hired BB the next year, he went 6-10, 7-9, 7-9 then 11-5 then 5-11 their last year in Cleveland. The first 3 in Baltimore they were also bad, Steve Biscotti bought 49% of the team in March of 2000, since then they have been one of the best franchises.

That’s the highest win percentage of any Browns coach in the last 30 years (outside this year which is. 6 games deep)

He has the brown’s last playoff win.


And for what its worth Brian Billick( only 3 seasons removed from Belichick) was 85-67, won 1 SB & 5 playoff games. Harbaugh has a 60% win percentage & won 10 play games including 1 SB.


Belichick is good enough a coach . No need to tie him to the expansion franchise he had nothing to do with in Cleveland.

Yes the Browns fricked up by letting Marty Schott go in 89 & hiring Bud Carson. But let's not pretend Belichick took over some expansion franchise completely bereft of talent .



Outside of the 3 seasons of Ted Marchibroda the Ravens( Browns) have been mostly fine ( 2 SBs) post Belichick despite not having a great franchise QB.

That post season was his 3rd most passing yards of any post season Brady has had in his career

The actual super bowl was on the defense but they won 41-28 in the divisional and 37-31 in the AFC title game

I assumed you meant the super run as a whole

Belicheck saw Jared Goff across the sideline and was like “all I need is 10 points to win this game”

I don’t see how you can try to use that to discredit Brady at all.

the year before Belichick was hired the Browns were bad and the team was also bad the first 3-4 years after he was fired and had moved to Baltimore.

ETA: also Steve Biscotti buying into the franchise in 2000 is a big part of the reason they have become as successful as they have.

People on this board are dumb as rocks. The Patriots are in a rebuild year with the most opt outs in the league. Don't have a QB worth a shite. Of course they will have a losing record. It'll take time to turn it around.

Lets no act like Brady just turned the Bucs from complete shite to contenders. Tampa already had good talent on that team. They just needed someone to quit turning the ball over and make the smart decision. Basically what Brady is doing now. At the end of day it won't matter. Because both Tom and Bill will be watching the Super Bowl from their couches.

Kosar was never the same after injuring his elbow in 88 and the bulk of the talent that got them to back to back AFCCG was gone/old, they were 3-13 the year before he got there, that's really bad and its not like, well the QB or some key player was hurt.

Those 2 Super Bowls were 12 years apart and they had a couple of losing seasons and some other mediocre ones along the way. They also have a different owner. Modell moved the team, but it wasn't until Boscotti bought 49% and eventually the entire franchise that its become a model franchise.

you are trying to paint it as if they only struggled with Belichick and otherwise have been winners, that's not exactly accurate. Modell also meddled a lot, Saban has told the story of how, Modell signed Pepper Johnson to a big FA deal and insisted they play him, despite him and BB being against it because Johnson washed up.

The Browns Belichick coached moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens. His last year was the year they announced they were moving and season fell apart. The first few years in Baltimore they were not very good, 2000 was their first winning season.


For some reason, people just ignore how toxic those teams were. They basically had a revolt against the owner.

Wait so you give Belicheck a pass on an untalented roster that he built but don’t give any credit to brady for elevating the Bucs because their roster is too good? you guys do amazing mental gymnastics in these threads

Of course gets Brady gets credit for the Bucs being better

But the Bucs went 7-9 last year with a QB who threw 30 ints A good QB is looking at that team and thinking "Yeh, I can win there"

Obviously it was a good situation for Brady, but the guys argument was “all the Bucs needed was a good QB, lets not give Brady credit for being what they need!!”

It makes no sense

record of 115-58 (.665)

record of 68-80-1 (.460)

That's Bill Parcell's record with & without Belichick running his defense.

No, but you can't go from Brady to Newton and expect to win.

Marty Shotteheimer had that same "bad " Modell ownership ( since thats your excuse for Belichick losing) & took over the 1-7 / 5-11 Browns who had 1 winning season in 5 years.


In 4 full seasons Marty never had a losing record .Marty won 3 Division titles & 1 2nd place finish,. Marty went to 2 AFC Championships & we all know he was a couple plays from 2 SBs. Despite that horrible/ meddling Modell

The Franchise Belichick coached has had success before & after him & has nothing to do with the expansion Browns was the only point I was making. And here you are with Art Modell excuses & Kosar's elbow.

i just mentioned this in another post but Saban has talked about he owner meddling. Which is not to say Belichick did an awesome job or anything he did not, but he's not the only coach that got better after his first job. But this whole idea that it's either Brady or Belichick i think is silly, it's BOTH. Neither likely has as many titles without the other.

Sounds like excuses to me. Marty's 4 seasons after taking over the 1-7/ 5-11 Browns with the meddling owner :

No losing seasons. 4 playoff appearances. 3 Division titles( another 2nd place finish). 2 AFC Championship games .
