The Patriots blueprint the next Jets coach needs to follow

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — From the time Bill Belichick began his reign of dynastic terror with Tom Brady in 2001, five Super Bowl championships in eight tries, four Jets head coaches have tried and failed to reach one, much less win one.

From the time Brady became Belichick’s quarterback, eight Jets quarterbacks have tried and failed to reach one, much less win one.
