Bill Belichick.

Starting to suspect he hit the lotto with a 6th round qb and that covered up many of his weaknesses though.

I would argue Andy Reid has final decision making on his roster too but his track record is proven.

BB was responsible for several great defenses and possibly the best defensive coach of all time. I hate that I have to constantly defend him because I think he is a dick. But once again him and Brady needed each other.

Credit where it's due - they wouldn't have won all those titles without good defense. He always had adequate defenses when it mattered most. Several HOFers on those D's too - as well as on the Giants d that won 2 titles.

The last 2-3 post-Brady years have made him look bad as roster assembler though.

I used to think that Belichick was a genius. Then I realized that most likely it was all having Tom Brady. Belichick only had one winning season in Cleveland as HC there. He has been borderline trash since losing Brady.

A fun question is who is a worse HC at this point in their career? Belichick or Ron?

I do think Andy Reid is another shining example of a HC being able to be his own GM. Belichick needed a proven superstar GOAT QB to win. Andy Reid had loads of success with many different QB's - McNabb, Jeff Garcia, and Michael Vick, as well as Alex Smith in KC, and of course Mahomes.
