But.... Why, why, why!? He had the talent! Good grief!
Then again we must remember that Belichick was run out of Cleveland where he didn't do anything with the Browns... And then he jilted Parcells and the Jets when he bolted after only one day as head coach. So is it possible that he was worried in the begininng about whether or not he was going to succeed in NE?
Now after 3 out of 4 SB wins, it seems like it was always a forgone conclusion. That he was always a genius. Always cocky or arrogant... Wasn't always the case.... Maybe initial insecurities drove him to cheat and then he just continued even after success because no-one caught him...
