Loved this excerpt from the late David Halberstam in his book ” The Education of a Coach ,” about Bill Belichick. In 2004, after the Patriots won their second Super Bowl in three seasons, NE coach Bill Belichick “went to Florida to visit with Jimmy Johnson , who he thought was the one coach out there who knew the most about what would happen once a team had shown itself able to play at so lofty a level, Johnson’s Cowboys having won the Super Bowl after the 1992 and 1993 seasons. The two men were friends in the delicate sense of friendship that football coaches are allowed — in the we-may-be-on-opposite-sides-of-the-field-but-we-have-similar-problems-and-similar-enemies-and-we-may-need-each-other-yet-you-coaching-for-me-or-you-coaching-for-you kind of friendship
