Thanks, Bill Belichick: SI’s Stephen Fatsis On The Influx Of The NFL Tyrant

Josh McDaniels and Eric Mangini aren’t the first, nor are they the most extreme, but they are the latest examples in what Sports Illustrated’s Stephen Fatsis calls a “crop of young know-it-alls taking the league by scowl.” Bill Belichick’s is largely to blame, but he’s not the only culprit; Fatsis traces the entire phenomenon all the back to Tom Landry. Interesting stuff.
