Could This Underdog Coach Shatter NFL Records and Crown Himself the New GOAT?
Ever wonder what really separates the great NFL coaches from the legends? Is it the magic a generational quarterback brings, or the mastermind behind the scenes who can craft winning teams with or without a superstar under center? Bill Belichick’s reign with Tom Brady is the stuff of folklore—six Lombardis and nearly two decades of gridiron dominance. But peel back that layer, and the story gets complicated. Then there’s Andy Reid, a coach whose success with Patrick Mahomes is undeniable, yet whose résumé sans superstar QB paints a very different, and to some, far more impressive, picture. As we dive into this compelling comparison, prompted recently by insider Albert Breer’s jaw-dropping analysis, the question looms large: who truly earns the crown of NFL’s coaching GOAT when the spotlight fades from their star quarterbacks? Buckle up—this isn’t just another coach vs. coach debate. It’s a deep dive into adaptability, resilience, and the essence of coaching greatness itself.
The NFL coaching debate has shifted toward a new question: who thrives without a generational quarterback?
Bill Belichick built a dynasty with Tom Brady, winning six Super Bowl titles and dominating for two decades.
Andy Reid has shown similar success with Patrick Mahomes, but his track record without elite quarterbacks tells a different story.
The comparison between these two coaching legends reveals contrasting paths to greatness in the modern NFL.
Examining their careers beyond their star quarterbacks provides insight into their true coaching ability.
Insider Albert Breer recently highlighted the stark contrast between the two coaches on social media.
“I’ve long felt Belichick was the GOAT. But now: Reid w/o Mahomes: 184-123-1, 13 playoff berths, 8 division titles, 1 SB, 11 playoff wins, 8 Top 10 offenses. Belichick w/o Brady: 83-101, 2 playoff berths, 0 division titles, 0 SBs, 1 playoff win, 0 Top 10 offenses,” Breer shared.
I’ve long felt Belichick was the GOAT. But now …
• Reid w/o Mahomes: 184-123-1, 13 playoff berths, 8 division titles, 1 SB, 11 playoff wins, 8 Top 10 offenses.
• Belichick w/o Brady: 83-101, 2 playoff berths, 0 division titles, 0 SBs, 1 playoff win, 0 Top 10 offenses.

Belichick and Brady combined for a 249-75 regular-season record with six championships and a 31-13 playoff mark. Without Brady, Belichick’s record drops significantly.
His tenure with Cleveland and post-Brady New England exposed limitations in building competitive teams without elite quarterback play.
Meanwhile, Reid’s resume away from Mahomes demonstrates sustained excellence across multiple franchises and quarterback situations.
His 184-123-1 record includes 13 playoff berths and eight division titles, showing consistent competitiveness regardless of roster talent.
The numbers reveal Reid’s ability to build high-powered offenses and winning cultures independent of one player.
Belichick’s struggles at North Carolina and his previous challenges without Brady raise questions about his adaptability in the modern game.
Reid continues adding to his legacy with Kansas City while maintaining the flexibility that defines great coaching across generations.
