Patriots owner Robert Kraft was keen to hire Bill Belichick and successfully hired him away from the division rival Jets in Replacing Pete Carroll, Belichick's first year in New England resulted in a finish -- the last time the Patriots have finished with a losing record. During his 29 consecutive years with the Dallas Cowboys, Landry won two Super Bowl titles, 13 Divisional titles, and played in 12 Championship games.

Perhaps most impressive is Landry's 20 consecutive winning seasons -- a record that stands to this day. Belichick's accomplishments in New England are enormous.

Life has certainly been good for fans in New England. It's rare to see photos of Landry in non-formal wear, but the full suit-and-tie look would be impractical for a practice.

Landry was nothing if not practical. In fact, he was the first to employ a quality control coach to analyze game films and opponent tendencies. This provided a huge advantage for Landry's Cowboys, and today, most NFL teams have two quality control coaches on staff. Is Brady great because Belichick is great, or is it the other way around? Belichick has five Super Bowl wins, the most of any head coach ever.

Belichick is also the only head coach in NFL history to win three Super Bowl championships in a four-year span. Bill Walsh famously invented the "west coast offense" during his time coaching the San Francisco 49ers, but Landry was no slouch with creativity on offense, either.

Belichick was named Coach of the Year for the third time in , having previously received the award in and Even aside from his success, Belichick's longevity is impressive: he's been coaching in the NFL for over 40 years.

Tom Landry's coaching career ended when Jerry Jones bought the Cowboys in Looking for new blood and energy in the organization, Jones replaced Landry with his long-time friend Jimmy Johnson, who led the Cowboys to three Super Bowl wins in the '90s. Together, Belichick and Brady led the Patriots to an undefeated regular season in -- the first team to do so since the Miami Dolphins, and the only team to do so on the modern 16 game schedule.

In this photo, the Patriots are about to defeat the New York Giants in their final regular season game to finish with a record. The teams would meet again in the Super Bowl, when the Giants spoiled their perfect season in one of the greatest Super Bowl upset wins ever.

His victory in that game earned Belichick several records: the most Super Bowl wins of any coach in NFL history, and the most amount of Super Bowls participated in, in any capacity. Who knows what other records Belichick will break before his career is done? Unfortunately, the United States did not qualify, so American soccer fans will miss out on traditions like hoards of bandwagoners crowding sports bars and doing chants they recently learned.
