Is Bill Belichick a good coach? Yes. Should a good coach who was caught cheating win coach of the year? No.

To me, the coach of the year award has to do with not only being a good coach, but it also includes dealing with adversity. Of course I’m a little biased, but I think Mike McCarthy, or maybe Dick Jauron, deserves this award over Belichick. Yes, the Patriots did go 16-0, but they hit that mark with a great roster which includes a QB that threw 50 TD’s this season, it required very little adversity, and let us not forget, they cheated. McCarthy surprised everyone with the way he had the Packers playing this season. And Jauron’s team, they didn’t have a great season, but they were more or less destroyed by injuries, yet he had them playing some pretty damn good football.

Instead, for coach of the year, we have a CHEATER! Why? 16-0 is the only reason why, regardless of cheating and the lack of adversity. The NFL and Bill Belichick, shame on you.
