That article above is Exhibit #2 of the fact that the press has NO IDEA what makes Belichick successful. Because nothing in that piece differs substantially from the rest of the League.

Exhibit #1 is Belichick on drafting. Reporter is surprised to learn that coach who is his own GM has to really grind to catch up on scouting college prospects. You will also not be surprised to know Belichick cheats (see Bielema quotes) by asking about underclassmen who have not declared for the draft.
