Taken from your nominations, here's a selection to vote on. Pick up to 4 of the above. Which of them best represent why Belichick is a great coach? If you were telling a football fan why you thought he's awesome, what decisions, strategies or moments best sum it up to you?
I can only put up 20 options in a poll, so these ones didn't make the cut. The hardest one to drop was Vrabel-Eligible.
GM Moves: Wrangling his way out of being HC of the NYJ, and into his role for the Patriots
GM Moves: Letting FAs walk rather than make an emotional reaction to keep them (Welker, Watson, Samuel, Woody)
GM Moves: The 2005 draft, with Logan Mankins at #32, plus Ellis Hobbs, Nick Kaczur, James Sanders & Matt Cassell
GM Moves: Low-risk, big-upside flyers (Haynesworth, Corey Dillon, Lawfirm)
Player Roles: Flexing Offensive Linemen (Wendell, Vollmer, Mankins, etc) between C/T/G
Player Roles: Mike Vrabel - Eligible. Various moments 2002-2007
Game Scheme: Chipping Hines Ward to disrupt timing, 2001 AFCCG
Game Scheme: Demolishing McNabb-led Eagles team in Philly, Week 2, 2003
Game Scheme: Win at St Louis in 2004 - Brown at CB, Vinatieri TD, etc
Game Scheme: Intentionally losing vs Miami in week 17 of 2005, to play JAX rather than PIT in the WC
Game Scheme: Winning in Indy in the matchup of 8-0 teams, 2007
Game Scheme: Demolishing the Vikings on MNF in 2006; 0 points scored on offense, 4 INTs
In-Game Calls: F-You TDs (e.g. Vinatieri pass 2004, Washington in 2007, Troy Brown go-route vs Chicago 2010)
edited to add the most under-the-radar part of his Midas GM Touch in 2014.
