The Worst Head Coach in NFL History

I'm sorry. I really am. I hate to name a person such a thing. But Bill Belicheck is the worst head coach in NFL history.

Okay, first of all. I have forgiven him. I really have.

But is he successful?

What is sports for? What is important in sports?

It's entertainment. It's meant to be fun.

And as an entertainer, Bill Belicheck is a failure.

I am not a Seahawks fan, but I have really enjoyed following the Seahawks in their recent success. Same for the Kansas City Chiefs, even though they beat my 49ers.

Following Bill Belicheck's Patriots is not fun.

For well over a decade a good degree of the fun I might have had following sports (and I have still enjoyed following sports during that time) has been ruined by Bill Belicheck's anger. In particular, when he declared, right in the middle of the War on Terror era, after he was caught cheating, that fans that root for other teams are the enemy.

Why do we care who is the most successful coach in football?

Because people like Tom Landry and Bill Walsh, who were gentlemen, made us feel good about football.

Because people like Tom Landry and Bill Walsh, who were gentlemen, made us feel like football is a noble persuit.

Bill Belicheck may know how to win, but sports is entertainment. And Bill Belicheck takes the fun out of the game. Bill Belicheck is the worst entertainer in the history of the league.

And he sure doesn't make us feel like football is a noble persuit for gentlemen!

So let's celebrate the REAL great head coaches in sports: those whose teams provide entertainment and bring joy to millions of people.

Coaches who are gentlemen, like Tom Landry and Bill Walsh and Seahawks coach Pete Carroll.

sincerely,
