Charles Barkley is a man of many trades. Whether as a player, a commentator, an analyst, or a golfer, the Chuckster has excelled in every facet. Okay, maybe excelled is too strong a word for that last one. But, the Philadelphia 76ers legend has made a big name for himself away from the basketball court as well. While his duties as an analyst have predominantly featured basketball, Chuck hasn’t shied away from dalliances with other sports. Recently, he was a chief analyst for TNT’s The Match.?Moreover, he’s also an avid football enthusiast.

But, just like with basketball, his?GUARANTEE?should always be taken with a pinch of salt.

Charles Barkley puts his money on the GOAT coach

Coaching has been an incredibly tough job over the years, in every sport. The mass coaching changes in the NBA in the last season have garnered massive attention. But, few deal with as much responsibility as an NFL head coach. To cement yourself as the greatest in that class requires doing the extraordinary. For Bill Belichick, that extraordinary was 8 Super Bowls.

But, his true rise to immortality came some 20 years after that feat. In 2000, the New England Patriots were a middling franchise in the NFL. Then, Coach Belichick joined the ranks. The rest, as they say, is history.

From 2000 onwards, the team won 6 Super Bowls, more than any other franchise in NFL history. While some call Tom Brady the engine, Bill was at worst, the driver of the engine. He is a?man so legendary, his defensive planning earned the entire play a place in the Pro Football Hall-Of-Fame.

But, the last few years have seen a reversal of fortunes. Since 2020, the Patriots have been underwhelming, to say the least. However, with Coach Belichick still calling the shots, Charles Barkley still has hope.
