The youtube channel Set the Edge had a great video on this question

The only thing I might add to the discussion in defense of Hoodie disciples is that teams can be awfully quick to fire a Belichick disciple if he doesn’t start winning relatively quickly like Belichick did in New England.

That desire to fire Belichick disciples frequently glosses over the fact that BB had a hand in building the team with Parcells that he inherited from Pete Carroll. The successful team that BB likely built in Cleveland before it left for Baltimore seems to suggest that NFL teams might benefit from being patient with some of BB’s disciples
