The way I see it it's the other way around. People here either like him or are afraid of those who like him so they won't speak out against him (other than Jive Turkey who had the balls to do so) On every other message board, blog and social networking site I'm on the guy is called 'Bellacheat' and nobody sees him as great for winning Super Bowls because they think he cheated and didn't deserve them. So it just depends on who you ask.
upon further review i have declared this comment to be full of shit.
firstly, it would be belicheat if spelled correctly.
secondly, the man is one of the greatest football coaches in the history of the sport, and very few people other than those who don't know what they're talking about, and/or bitter inter-divisional rivals actually consider his super bowls to be null and void over the idiotic spy-gate debocle, a practice that many a coach have used themselves and probably still use. heck, i'll bet ya the man genius himself employs some sort of "spying" on the other opponent, perhaps disguising browns employees as UPS drivers and sending them to the opponent's sidelines. who knows? it's possible.
did you know that Weeb Eubank sent staff members to nearby high rise apartment buildings with binoculars to watch teams practice? did you know that the main building at the Jets Hofstra practice facility, the Jets being the franchise that turned the patriots in, is named after Weeb Eubank?
that the great tom landry once tapped into the opposing team's radio frequency to hear their play calls, and would find high perches near opponent's facilities to watch them practice? and would rent out blocks of hotel rooms that overlooked his own practices to prevent other teams from doing the same?
i hope you have the same feelings about all of these coaches who would do the same things throughout the history of football... or do you just reserve your comments for belichick because alex trebec said you should?
