Belichick NFL’s Best Active Coach

ESPN.com has started a new column called Third and Short.  Presumably, this is the offseason answer to John Clayton’s First and Ten.  However, since they don’t really specify, it’s hard to know exactly what they’re going for with it.  The point is that the good people at ESPN.com have found a new way to give me my news blurbs so I can send them along, and so here we are.  In this week’s Third and Short, the pundits at ESPN.com proclaim Bill Belichick is the NFL’s best active coach.  I, not surprisingly, would have to be inclined to agree.

While the haters and detractors will point to Spygate and try in vain to claim that Belichick is a cheater (no more than anyone else in the league), the fact remains that his three Super Bowl victories set him apart from everyone else.  Ask anyone in the league how hard it is to win one football game in the NFL, let alone three Super Bowls, and you will understand just why Belichick is unequivocally the best in the business.  He almost got to number four last year, and if you don’t think he’s going to double his efforts to win a fourth Super Bowl next year, you’ve got another thing coming to you.
