From the above link <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Spygate didn't stop 29 of the 50 voters on a nationwide panel of media members who cover the NFL from voting for Belichick. In a season highlighted by many strong coaching performances, Belichick beat out Green Bay's Mike McCarthy, who received 15 votes for leading the Packers to a 13-3 record and the NFC North title. "Any time we win we're excited," Belichick said after completing the perfect regular season with a 38-35 victory over the New York Giants. "With the success we've had this season, [the Giants] game puts a certain little bit more of a degree of satisfaction in that game because of the culmination of the regular season. But, at the same time, we've got plenty of things that we need to work on." Also getting votes were Dallas coach Wade Phillips and Jacksonville's Jack Del Rio (two each), and Indianapolis' Tony Dungy and Tampa Bay's Jon Gruden (one each).</div> How in the hell does Romeo Crennel get zero votes? He had a more difficult job than any of the guys that received votes.
Is there any question that it's Bill Bellichick? He coached the Pats to the first ever 16-0 regular season in the history of the NFL. He managed to keep the team focused on winning instead of focusing on their record (if that makes sense). Beyond that, he took players like Moss and Stallworth, usually me-first players, and turned them into team guys that were always more focused on winning than personal stats. However, a close second has to be McCarthy out in Green Bay for taking one of the youngest teams in football and turning them into a championship team. And of course, you can't leave out Romeo Crennell in Cleveland. Again though, it's got to be Bellichick for one reason - his team went undefeated, and that's damn hard to do without the right personnel.
McCarthy came in second with 15 votes The Pats on paper were a 14-2 team while the Browns on paper were a 4-12 team So yes, I absolutely question the voting for the hoodie over the guy that did the better coaching job.
Only in the NFL can you see a coach, recieve the highest fine ever for cheating, but, not only does he manage to keep from being suspended, he is given the coach of the year award. With the same twisted logic, we'll blame the younger generations when they surprise us by showing that they are learning the lessons that we are teaching them right now.
