The NY Times has a great article looking at Bill Belichick's roots in the Giants organization, with the Super Bowl winning team over a decade ago.

Belichick speaks so often about the Giants that linebacker Mike Vrabel has jokingly belittled the level of competition those teams faced. One day during training camp, Vrabel found a Giants helmet in his locker, courtesy of Belichick. A few years ago, Carson and Carl Banks stopped by Belichick’s office before the Giants and the Patriots played a preseason game. “Man, I miss you guys,” Belichick told them. “I wish I had guys like you now.”

It was not always seamless. After the 1988 season, Belichick had had enough of the linebackers and told Parcells he wanted to coach the secondary. In that role, his players often matched up against a group of receivers coached by another Parcells assistant, Tom Coughlin, Belichick’s counterpart Sunday. In the 1990 season, the Giants had the top-ranked defense and won the Super Bowl again, in Belichick’s final game with the team before he left to be the coach of the Cleveland Browns.

Pretty ironic the team that finally beat Belichick in the big game...the team he grew up in the league with.
