That's what Dan Pompei says. I won't argue against the premise because no matter where or when Belichick is one of those guys who could (as Bum Phillips would say) "beat your'n with his'n and his'n with your'n".
Very good article - well worth the read by any NFL fan. This stood out for me:
The journey of possibly the best coach in the history of the National Football League goes through a rocky stretch of road starting at a press conference in Berea, Ohio, in 1995.I think this answers the question of whether Belichick would ever trade for a Randy Moss or a Terrell Owens. He's been there and done that and he knows how many championships coaches will win with those guys - ZERO.
There, the coach announces the Browns have signed controversial receiver Andre "Bad Moon" Rison. Team owner Art Modell goes to five banks before he can get a loan to pay the $5 million signing bonus.
Within a year, the cash-poor Browns leave town for a better deal in Baltimore, Rison is cut and Belichick is fired.
