William Stephen Belichick Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
William Stephen "Bill" Belichick (/?b?l?t??k/; born April 16, 1952) is an American football head coach for the New England Patriots of the National Football League. He also has extensive authority over the Patriots' football operations, effectively making him the team's general manager as well. Coaching continuously in various roles in the NFL since 1975, Belichick earned his first head coaching job with the Cleveland Browns in 1991. Following his firing in 1995, he did not serve as a head coach again until 2000, first with the Jets and with the Patriots. Since then, Belichick has coached the Patriots to five Super Bowl appearances: victories in Super Bowls XXXVI, XXXVIII, and XXXIX, and subsequent losses in Super Bowl XLII and Super Bowl XLVI. He was named the AP NFL Coach of the Year for the 2003, 2007 and 2010 seasons. Belichick is the NFL's longest tenured active head coach and currently is sixth in all-time coaching wins in the NFL at 199.

Fact
1
Inducted into the Wesleyan University Athletics Hall of Fame in 2008.
2
Was fined $500,000 by the NFL for his role in the 2007 Spygate scandal, in which his team illegally videotaped an opponent's signals. It was the largest fine ever for an NFL coach.
3
Coached New England Patriots in third Superbowl appearence in his five seasons as the team's head coach. [February 2005]
4
With a record of 59-27 (including 6-0 in the playoffs) he led the New England Patriots to their third play-off appearence in his five seasons as the team's head coach. [January 2005]
5
Inducted into the Phillips Academy Andover's Athletics Hall of Honor in 2011.
6
Named the Associated Press NFL Coach of the Year in 2003 and 2007.
7
His father, Steve Bilichick, was an assistant football coach for Navy, where he coached Roger Staubach. He died on 19 November 2005.
8
Graduated from Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts in 1971.
9
Led the New England Patriots to an unofficial NFL record for most consecutive wins at twenty, dating from October 2003 against the Tennessee Titans (won by the Pats 38-30) to October 2004's victory over the Seattle Seahawks (30-20); the record is unofficial because it includes playoff wins (over the Titans and the Indianapolis Colts) including the Superbowl (over the Carolina Panthers). The official record for consecutive wins, encompassing only regular season wins, was tied at seventeen with the Pats' win over the Seahawks.
10
With the October 2004 win over the Seattle Seahawks, Belichick's coaching record with the Patriots including playoffs stood at 50-25.
11
Named head coach of the Jets for 2000 following Superbowl XXXIV, but was angry because Bill Parcells was moving to the team's front office and would in effect be his puppet master; in a news conference a few days after, he was named coach, he announced his immediate resignation from the job; this brought out a lengthy tirade against Belichick from general manager Steve Gutman. In a costly trade, the New England Patriots traded numerous draft picks to the Jets to get Belichick as head coach. Years later, after winning two Superbowls with the Patriots, Belichick got back at Gutman in a magazine interview - "In all my years of football I've never known a man who talked more and won less than Steve Gutman".
12
His first head coaching job was with Art Modell's Cleveland Browns 1991-5; when Modell's feud with the city over a new stadium caused the moving of the franchise to Baltimore, Belichick was released and became an assistant coach under Bill Parcells with the New England Patriots, then with the New York Jets when Parcells moved to that team after the 1996 season.
13
Began his pro-football coaching career as a gofer and film-reader with the Detroit Lions in 1976; he often worked with Jerry Glanville, and the two devised schemes that are still in use today; Dick Vermeil has credited both with devising what is now known as the zone blitz.
