"The most important thing in the playoffs is to play well."  

 

He's an intelligent guy but it's remarkable how much he talks like a kindergartner.  

 

Its likes he goes out of his way to avoid substantive, interesting answers and just says the very most obvious, basic thing possible.  

 

 

Bingo!  It's all intentional.

For some people, there is exactly one job in the world they're meant to have, and Belichick has been in that job for decades.  What's he supposed to do if he retires, start a book club?  He won't retire, ever, unless he has a health issue that forces him to step back.  

 

The biggest issue is that he's also the GM and he's not nearly as good at that job as he is as HC.  A time might come when he's forced to step away from GM duties, but even that looks unlikely at this point since he has so much power in the organization and is so close to the Krafts.

Do you remember the movie "Being There" with Peter Sellers?  A guy starts speaking in obscure platitudes, and everyone considers him a genius.  The thing is, Belichick really is a genius at coaching and also cheating, but the platitude approach is safe, boring, and never gets him into hot water, so he can concentrate on his two areas of excellence.

He is actually not that bad of a GM, yes he has had some misses ( some bad misses too) but nobody is perfect in getting their drafts correct and there are teams who end up getting good draft picks because they have sucked for so long. His philosophy is give the other team no bulletin board material at all cost. So that is why he says very little at press conferences. His job is secured yes, sometimes to a fault (drafting) but i think there are people trying to force his hands a little when it comes to drafting certain position, I think. at least there should be more of it.

He has had players who he has drafted and signed in free agency who have contributed and /or started through all of his years as a GM, especially comparing him to all the other GMs in the NFL. There are GMs who were in better draft positions and still screwed up their draft picks. Again I am not saying he hasn't had bad misses, but if we extend this to other GMs. I am sure you will find there are worse GMs than him.

Check this out!  He is such an odd duck.

 

He has the natural charisma of a wet piece of cardboard.   

 

10 Minute interview from WEEI in Boston.

He is oddly both boring and interesting at the same time. He has an amazing ability to say nothing while speaking.

When do we start calling him Marv so he'll retire?

Belichick press conferences are akin to what a conversation is like when you ask a kid how his school day was. 

 

Or when you try to get a kid to explain why they did something that they know was wrong. Or why a kid didn't do his homework.

If you have sons. 100% true ha ha.

 

 

I recall some parents reunions, even one that was 100% dads. It really was that clear cut. Those with daughters knew all the school gossip and more. Us dudes with sons barely knew anything ha ha.
