Belichick had 187 games to establish that he wasn't a replacement level head coach. 84-103 (44.9%). Giving a replacement level coach credit

for a dynasty makes is pretty weird, don't you think? It's akin to giving Ed Orgeron credit for LSU's 2019 national title. Unless credit means "at least he didn't fuck it up." Okay, but realize that's operationalizing credit for replacement level performance.

So this will settle it. I work with a guy who is originally from Boston and is a huge Pats fan. I asked him Brady or Belichick. He said… - By ajs September 26, 2026 at 05:50:53 AM
- I never entered the Brady/Belichick debates because I think it's the wrong question re coaching effect (no real independent variables + and noise). Instead, - By onb September 26, 2026 at 10:20:01 AM
  - Ed Orgeron went 25-3 (89%) with Joe Burrow as his QB, 42-44 (49%) with anybody else as his QB. Bill Belichick is an upper middle class man's - By brick September 26, 2026 at 10:46:24 AM

  - You'd think so, right? 84-103 (44.9%) record in the NFL with any starting QB other than Brady is an enormous sample of replacement level coaching - By brick September 26, 2026 at 10:36:33 AM
