DOES BELICHICK DESERVE COACH OF THE YEAR?

The mastermind, the man with the plan, and the Socrates of football...does he deserve the National Football League's coach of the year award?

Bill has done a superb job this year with his young defense.  His first pick in the 2010 draft Devin McCourty is the man Belichick knew he was drafting.  He is a pro-bowler and is second in the league in interceptions. The defense has been a revolving door with key players becoming injured and new ones stepping in.  Belichick has done a great job of coaching the youngsters.  He has them playing great defense at the most crucial time.  Although everyone looks at the stat of total yards allowed per game, over the past five or six weeks, the New England defense has answered the call.

Another move we may also forget about is dumping Randy Moss and reacquiring Deion Branch as well as picking up Danny Woodhead.  The Patriots are playing for the person next to them not for themselves and this is what made them Super Bowl champions three times in the last decade. 

If anyone deserves coach of the year it is Bill.  He led his Patriots to a 14-2 record with a running back that was on the practice squad last year and with a very young defense.  It is easy to say he still has Tom Brady at quarterback, but these players have drastically made a difference due to their coach. Make the right choice because once he rocks his fourth ring, there may be no argument that he is the best coach of all-time never mind of the year, but rest assuredly Bill wants the Lombardi trophy not the coach of the year award.
