Bill Belichick—I think he’s the best coach in history, and this is arguably his second best coaching job after his performance in 2001. He traded Randy Moss and Laurence Maroney, then lost seven key players to injured reserve. Belichick has done it with the youngest defense in the NFL and 18 undrafted players, including his two top running backs. He runs the defense, and he runs the offense. He has a great feel for playing to the strengths of individuals and identifying and playing to the strengths of the team, and that has been very evident this season. Belichick has gotten more out of a number of players than any coach should have.
