George Halas (318)
Tom Landry (250)
Curly Lambeau (226)

And now - Bill Belichick (200) WINS. Congratulations from Moran Publishing. The men on the above list are some of the greatest to ever walk the sidelines in Football history. Bill joins this list. Tip of the cap.

Here is what Bill had to say about the achievement:
“It means a lot,” said Belichick, who was the fourth fastest coach to reach the milestone. “What it really means is that I have coached a lot of good football players. They win the game. Players win games, and I am fortunate to have the opportunity to coach a lot of great players. That’s really about them winning games. Certainly an honor to have my name thrown in there with some of those guys. I’d say really all of them, other than Curley Lambeau, I have looked up to as a kid and admired and maybe borderline worshipped. As an NFL coach, I certainly never got into coaching expecting that to ever happen. It is very gratifying to reach that milestone.”
