Born on April 16, 1952, in Nashville, Tennessee, to an inspiring assistant football coach father(Steve Belichick) and loving mother (Jeannette), Steve is regarded as the best head coach of this generation.
Economics graduate from Wesleyan University; Bill Belichick had been excelling in football and lacrosse since his school days as a player until he assumed the responsibility of special assistant for Baltimore Colts in 1975 after graduating from from his university.
Now fast forwarding to 2015, he has accumulated a rich working experience of fulfilling various coaching and assistant-coaching roles in numerous clubs including Baltimore Colts (special assistant, 1975), Detroit Lions (assistant special team coach, 1976), Detroit Lions (wide receivers coach, tight ends coach, 1977), Denver Broncos (assistant special teams coach , defensive assistant, 1978), New York giants (special teams coach, defensive assistant, 1979), New York Giants (linebackers coach, special teams coach, 1980-1984), New York Giants(defensive co-coordinator, 1985,1990), Cleveland Browns ( head coach, 1991-1995), New England Patriots (assistant head coach, secondary coach, 1996), New York Jets ( assistant head coach, defensive backs coach, head coach, 1997-1999) and New England Patriots (2000- present). `
There are two figures in his life who can be credited for helping him in understanding the football game. The two figures are his football assistant coach father (34 years experience as football scout and coach at US navy) who taught him everything about football and his mentor Bill Parcels, a veteran ex-coach who mentored Bill as his assistant in teams such as New York Giants (won 2 Super Bowls as assistant coach under Bill Parcel), New England Patriots and New York Jets.
Stats show that seven of Belchick's assistant coaches have become NFL head coaches and seven assistant coaches have become NCCA Division I coaches. Not oly that, Belchick has worked under five head coaches till now. Moreover, many assistants under Belchick's have become executives or co-coordinator in NFL.
Belichick is just not a football head coach, but a legacy. Obviously, he has been a controversial figure many times in the past (remember the sidelining videotaping controversy, the shoving reporter controversy, and the cheating scandal that ended his marriage), but no one can deny his stats as a coach. Impressively, he is the NFL's longest tenured active head coach. He currently holds some impressive stats such as being fifth in regular season coaching wins in the NFL and first in playoff coaching wins in NFL. Truly, he will be always remembered as the coach with most Superbowl victories (four with New England Patriots as the head coach). Also, he has brought 6 championship wins to Patriots.
Interestingly, he is also famous for his two liners interview answers and is known as someone cunning and smart who will try any means to bring winnings to his team and someone who strictly means business in football. Believe it or not, he also spent most of his off-season preparing his future plans and also visiting other programs to learn from their experiences such as studying NAVY tactics, learning about NFL contracts and negotiations and also about other team's systems, tactics and strategies.
Amazingly, people close to Bill describe him as a shy person.
Unfortunately, his presence in social networking sites is zero. In an interview he has said that, he has got no time to get involved in such activities.
