NFL Football 2011
Bill Belichick
Over the past 10 years, five NFL teams have posted a winning percentage of .600 or better -- led by the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (121-39, .756).
Under the guidance of head coach BILL BELICHICK, the Patriots have won three Super Bowls and qualified for the postseason eight times during that span.
"Bill Belichick is a great coach and he has tremendous knowledge of the game," says CBS analyst and former general manager CHARLEY CASSERLY. "He's unique in that the guy could probably coach every position.
"He's a master strategist, both offensively and defensively. He knows both sides of the ball, and there aren't many coaches like that."
