In February of 1991, Bill Belichick walked into the Browns facility on Bagley Road in Berea, Ohio and handed a piece of paper in his smallish perfectly straight printing that described exactly the kind of football team he wanted to build in Cleveland. The thin-lined, three-ring border paper essentially was the beginning of the Browns Way, which manifested into the Patriot Way some ten years later. The words read “big, fast, athletic, mentally tough, capable of playing in any weather and can control the middle of the field.” Simple, precise, and well thought out. Clearly, Belichick spent many years thinking like a head coach.
