Back in 1995, when Belichick was hired by the Cleveland Browns as head coach, after he spent 5 seasons as the defensive coordinator of the NY Giants.
The Giants won the Super XXi and XXV with Belichick as the defensive coordinator.
However, even trying to compare Zac Taylor, who at his highest level was offensive coordinator at the University of Cincinnati where he was a failure and Belichick is just laughable.
I want some of whatever you're smoking bro! just sayin
That 1986 Giants defense is widely regarded as one of the most dominant defenses of all time. It usually is only ranked behind the '85 Bears in terms of historical value.
So yeah, that's a pretty nice bullet point on a resume.
He also went 36-44 in Cleveland (.450 winning percentage) and took them to the Divsional round in 1994. They were 6 points away from playing in the Conference Championship. His worst year (out of 5 seasons) in Cleveland was 5-11, a mark Taylor hasn't matched in two tries.
But yeah, I guess he was in over his head in the same way as a former WR/QB coach is, who has managed to gone 6-25-1. That seems like a decent comparison.
