| − | '''Bill Belichick''' (born April 16, 1952 in Nashville, [[Tennessee]]) is the head coach of the [[New England Patriots]]. He is one of the most successful coaches and greatest defensive masterminds in [[NFL]] history. With one of the best postseason records in NFL history, it is no surprise that he has coached three [[Super Bowl]] winning teams in his professional career (2001, 2003, 3004); all of them while coaching the Patriots. Prior to being the Patriots coach he was an assistant coach on the [[New York Giants]] when they won two Super Bowls (1986, 1990), and in 1991 became the head coach of the [[Cleveland Browns]]. He remained as the head coach of the Browns until 1995. In 2000, the Patriots traded their first-round [[2000 NFL Draft]] choice to the [[New York Jets]] to acquire Belichick as their head coach. | + | '''Bill Belichick''' (born April 16, 1952 in Nashville, [[Tennessee]]) was a longtime head coach of the [[New England Patriots]].
