Sure, this is a Red Sox site, not a Patriots one. But, we would be remiss if we ignored the lessons of the greater Boston sports community for lack of a baseball diamond.
Whether or not you agree with Belichick’s 4
th and 2 call is irrelevant. The interesting part of the move is that Belichick actually
did it. While the credit goes to Belichick for making a gutsy call – whatever credit is left to go around after the loss – should go to Robert Kraft. There are very few organizations in any walk of life, let alone sports, that foster a culture where a coach can take a risk like Belichick did – and not worry about job termination in the event of failure.
