After college, she worked as a lacrosse coach and in the admissions department at Choate Rosemary Hall Preparatory School in Connecticut.

Career
Bill Belichick was the head coach of the Cleveland Browns from 1991 to 1995, however, his tenure was not a successful one. Belichick’s many eccentricities, ranging from being extremely secretive about players and injuries to being so reluctant and boring with reporters that it almost seems pathological, were exacerbated by the terrible teams and bad decisions he made while in Cleveland. Without going into specifics, Belichick handled things terribly, especially with reporters and others higher up in the organization.
The worst was the blow suffered by the demotion of local icon QB Bernie Kosar from the starting lineup. Belichick was fired after a losing lame duck season when Cleveland moved to Baltimore. His time in Cleveland was so awful that he may never get a chance to be a head coach again. The opportunity came after serving as the defensive coordinator for the New England Patriots and New York Jets. Bill Belichick wanted to be his own man and knew Parcells as the Jets’ team executive would be in charge. So, after impressing New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft as defensive coordinator, Bill Belichick was hired as head coach. And the rest, as they say, is history.
Many of Belichick’s idiosyncrasies and quirks, seen in Cleveland as evidence of weakness and lack of leadership, became the eccentricities that led to a successful head coach in today’s NFL when he won three titles in four years in an era of free agency and massive player turnover. However, Bill Belichick is no longer the same man he was in Cleveland.
