VIKINGS CONSIDER SURPRISE RELEASE THAT PUTS NFL TEAMS ON RED ALERT Belichick has enjoyed plenty of success as coach including eight Super Bowl wins (Image: Getty) MOST SUPER BOWL WINS Most

players and coaches toil for years and are unable to get their hands on the coveted Vince Lombardi Trophy. Belichik has managed it a staggering eight times, more than any other coach or

player.  His first taste of Super Bowl glory came as the Defensive coordinator for the New York Giants in 1987. His defensive game plan from the Giants' 20–19 upset of the Buffalo Bills

in Super Bowl XXV in 1995, his seocnd Super Bowl triumph, has been placed in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Belichik became the head coach of the New England Patriots in 2000 and has won

six Super Bowl titles with the team from the Greater Boston area. MOST SUPER BOWL WINS AS HEAD COACH NFL maestro Tom Brady holds the record for the most Super Bowl victories as a player with

seven, six of which came under Belichick who holds more Super Bowl wins as head coach than anyone else. The pair were a match in heaven and the NFL world were left stunned when Brady opted

to leave the side in favour of a switch to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Back February and shortly after his retirement, Brady heaped praise on Belichick and recalled their incredible time

together at the Patriots. "I think coach Belichick and I developed an amazing relationship, really from the moment I was draft," Brady said on his “Let’s Go!” podcast. "I had

someone that really saw something in me that not a lot of other people did. "He loves the sport, he loves teaching, he loves coaching, he loves competing, and nobody's done it

better than him. And I think what a blessing for me -- there's no way I have the success I've had personally without him, and I'm very grateful for that." MOST SUPER BOWL

APPEARANCES Given how often Belichick has won the Super Bowl, it perhaps comes as no surprise that his teams have appeared in the game more times than anyone else in the sport. In fact, as

an assistant and head coach, the American has featured in the NFL’s showpiece game 12 times, with the most recent coming in 2019, which his Patriots side won 13-3 over the Los Angeles Rams.

Given his first Super Bowl appearance came back in 1987, the gap of 32 years between his debut and most recent Super Bowl is a testament to the longevity of the iconic coach. MOST SUPER BOWL

APPEARANCES AS HEAD COACH Belichick has nine Super Bowl appearances to his name as a head coach, more than any other in NFL history. As previously mentioned he won six of those games and

truly stands in a league of his own. During an interview with Forbes in 2019, Belichick shared his advice on what builds a cohesive and successful team. “Put together a group of unselfish

people with a common interest and goals,” he said. “They will find their own way to work together and create their unique chemistry." He added: “Having a team attitude, being coachable,

has a strong work ethic, learns from mistakes, improves, can communicate, and is willing to help others.” Belichick last won the Super Bowl in 2019 (Image: Getty) MOST PLAYOFF WINS AS HEAD

COACH Belichick holds the current NFL record for most wins by a head coach with 31, and also holds the record for most playoff games coached with 44.  The NFL great also leads the way among

active NFL head coaches with the most regular season wins of all time with 298 victories. Many see Belichick as a mentor and is widely respected by inside and outside of the sport. When

asked what it means to him to give back to the sport, Belechik said: “The ability to give back. Football has been very good to me and my family. The Bill Belichick Foundation helps to

provide opportunities for other student athletes through scholarships and grants to programs so that youth can enjoy and learn the values of sports and competition.” MOST DIVISIONAL

CHAMPIONSHIPS AS HEAD COACH Belichick has led the Patriots to an impressive 17 divisional titles, including five consecutive titles from 2003 to 2007 and eleven consecutive titles from 2009

to 2019. This streak of eleven consecutive playoff appearances is the most in NFL history for any team. Under his tutelage, the Patriots have a regular-season record of 262–108–0 over 21

seasons. Belichick is by far the most successful coach in Patriots history; his 262 wins with the franchise are more than quadruple those of runner-up Mike Holovak. Belichick will forever be

remembered as one of the most successful and revered coaches not just in NFL history but in all of sport. When he does decide to leave the game, he he has undoubtedly left behind a great

legacy and hopes he and his family can continue to impact sport in a profound way. “I started the Steve Belichick Scholarship Fund after my father passed away,” he said.  “Linda Holliday

coordinated the transfer of that scholarship fund into the Bill Belichick Foundation as it currently stands today, so we could expand our reach and resources to more student athletes and

athletic programs across the country. Focusing on football and lacrosse, its mission is to bring the values of the Belichick family, a love of sports, coaching and team building, to the

athletic leaders of tomorrow.”
