There is no question that Bill Belichick is the best coach in the NFL, and will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer after he decides to end his legendary career. Despite that, Belichick has been named the league’s Coach of the Year on only three occasions: he won the trophy in 2004, 2007 and 2010.
made the playoffs nine times — thrice as owners of the best record in football. He also has won three Super Bowls, although they do not factor into the Coach of the Year equation.
Still, the fact remains: Belichick only having won the award on three occasions is, quite frankly, ludicrous.
