Bill Belichick is showing you that coaching matters. Don't settle.

Sure, coaching matters.

So do divisions. And predecessors.

ZT may not be all that and a bag of chips. But the Bengals are relevant again in arguably the toughest division in football. The Pats are leading a division where their only competition is the Bills, and have have had more stability than just about any team for a long time.

BB is a good coach, but holding every coach up to that standard is silly. Especially when they've, for the last decade, been the only team worth **** in their division.
