a dubious quotation from Bellichick about Wade running the same D for 30 years.
“We run obviously the 3-4 defense,” Phillips said before the Super Bowl last year. “We were the first team with the Oilers to run a full time 3-4. We’re still running a 3-4 defense. There’s little nuances and things we’ve changed. But the big thing about his defense and our defense all along was try to use the personnel you have to do what they do well.”
“(Phillips has) been successful everywhere he’s been,” Belichick said, via MassLive. “He’s been doing it for 30 years in multiple organizations with multiple groups of players against every kind of offense he could see. . . . And to his credit, there’s not many of us that have a system that can last that long.
“I’ve certainly changed a lot in the last 30 years schematically. Wade really hasn’t. He really hasn’t.”

Seems Wade and Bill B say very similar things. You may diagree, but the quote is not dubious. I think people thought he was a one-trick pony when he was hired, it's just that it was a good pony...no one thought he was a Gregg Willimans and his famous 40-somthing "packages" or whatever he said he had.
