The closest thing the football world has to a Bill Belichick hack is on the phone with advice for the Chiefs. The two head coaches with the best records against Belichick had the same offensive coordinator, and Kevin Gilbride is happy to share what he can.
Belichick is, in many ways, the nightmare of his peers. Smart, relentless, cocky, and exceedingly successful with enough stories about the lengths he’ll go to make you nervous. Not counting interims, NFL teams changed coaches 85 times between Belichick’s first Super Bowl championship and his most recent. But Gilbride, perhaps better than anyone else, was able to think a move ahead of The Hoodie.
