Brady retiring made me realize that there's one more big NFL record hanging out there for a long time tenured Patriot.
1. Don Shula – 347
2. Bill Belichick – 329
3. George Halas – 324
4. Tom Landry – 270
5. Andy Reid – 267
6. Curly Lambeau – 229
7. Paul Brown – 222
8. Chuck Noll – 209
9. Marty Schottenheimer – 205
10. Dan Reeves – 201
Belichick is currently 18 wins behind Don Shula's all time record. Bill turns 71 in April (for reference Andy Reid turns 65 this spring. Mike Tomlin is 50 and has 163 wins). With two more seasons there's probably about a 50% chance that Bill catches him. With three more I'd set that at about 80%.
I think Bill REALLY wants this record as a historian of the game.
