Bill Belichick's reputation as one of the greatest NFL head coaches ever is already cemented. That hasn't stopped the New England Patriots coach from carrying a massive chip on his shoulder.
The MMQB's Albert Breer reported Monday he has "heard for more than a decade that those around [Belichick] believe he wants to show he can win with the Patriots without [Tom] Brady":
"He got the franchise Mac Jones and a playoff berth last year. The next step is showing that legit championship contention is on the horizon. If Belichick can get there, too, he’'l be in better position to hand something good off to whoever the next guy in Foxborough is—which I believe is another thing he wants to do.
