Belichick himself went 36–44 in his first gig with the Browns. That failure did not prevent Ole Bill from becoming the GOAT.

J-Mac holds PhDs in Belichickology and Belichickism.

J-Mac failed in Denver mainly b/c he was an arrogant motherfucker. First day on the job, he called Cutler in and demeaned the gunslinger with an arrogance that would make the current fishmonger in the White House proud.

Was Cutler Canton-bound? Nope. But in a QB-plagued league, Cutler for Orton was an obvious downgrade. Had J-Mac sought to tame Cutler instead, ala Favre and Holmgren, he might still be in Denver today.

Regardless, the Denver debacle has humbled J-Mac. Give him another chance to run the entire shebang and he will rock the world like Coldplay.
