What it's like to be coached by Bill Belichick

Bill Belichick is a football-obsessed, details-oriented coaching machine, who's also a teacher at heart and, believe it or not, a pretty funny guy. "It was the best four years of my playing career," Christian Fauria said of his time with Belichick in New England. "He could not have been more open, honest, and approachable. More than any coach I'd ever had." (ESPN.com)
