Belichick has helped produce eight Super Bowl titles since entering the NFL in 1975. He won his first two Super Bowls as defensive coordinator for the New York Giants in 1986 and 1990 before claiming six Super Bowl championships with the Patriots. Belichick launched his coaching career in 1975 with the Baltimore Colts and continued as an assistant coach with Detroit (1976-77), Denver (1978) and the New York Giants (1979-1990). Belichick was named head coach of the Cleveland Browns in 1991, becoming the youngest head coach in the NFL at the time at age 38. By 1994, Belichick brought the Browns back to the playoffs, finishing 11-5 and advancing to the second round of the playoffs, while allowing a league-low 204 total points. In 1996, Belichick joined New England and was a key contributor to the Patriots first division title in 10 years en route to the Patriots appearance in Super Bowl XXXI. Belichick then spent three seasons with the New York Jets from 1997 to 1999, helping New York improve from a 1-15 season in 1996 to an appearance in the AFC Championship Game in 1998.

In 2000, Belichick led the Patriots to 20 winning seasons. With New England, Belichick delivered six Super Bowl championships, nine conference titles, 17 division crowns and 31 playoff victories. Belichick won his sixth Super Bowl title as a Head Coach in 2018, joining George Halas and Curly Lambeau as the only coaches with six NFL championships.  Belichick’s 31 career postseason wins are the most in by any head coach. New England’s berth in Super Bowl LIII was Belichick’s 12th during his coaching career, the most among any head coach or assistant coach in NFL history. His 329 career victories are second to only Don Shula, who has 347 career victories.
