Beli-chic: Pro Tips From Belichick and Other NFL Coaches on How to Stay Warm
See how cold weather pros like Patriots coach Bill Belichick stay warm.
— -- New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick can't escape the cold weather ahead of the NFL playoff games this weekend. If you can't fight it, flaunt it.
Belichick sports the latest winter fashions in what could be his own "Belichic" clothing line, BDCWire.com satirized.
The forecast for Saturday's game against the Baltimore Ravens calls for a high of 19 degrees. Today at Gillette Stadium, where the Patriots are expected to practice outside, it's about 14 degrees, though it feels like it's -1 degrees with wind chill.
But will bad weather won't stop Belichick and the Patriots from practicing outside?
"No," Belichick said, according to the Providence Journal. "Playing outside, we're practicing outside."
Belichick's approach toward the weather: bundle up and just do it.
"What mental side of it?" he said today, ESPN reported. "We practice in it and whatever we practice in, I'm sure we at some point play in it. We've practiced in everything this year -- hot, cold, windy, still, day, night, rain. Whatever it is, it is."
Here are some other NFL coaches' approaches to tackling the chill:
1. Seattle Seahawks' Pete Carroll
There's no holding back Seattle Seahawks' Pete Carroll, who isn't afraid to don a hoodie underneath a water-resistant jacket, plus a beanie and gloves.
2. Green Bay Packers' Mike McCarthy
Cold weather is probably old hat to Mike McCarthy in Wisconsin. He keeps it simple with a New Era licensed team baseball cap.
3. Denver Broncos' John Fox

4. Indianapolis Colts' Chuck Pagano
Just because the Colts' Lucas Oil Stadium has one of three retractable roofs of NFL team bases, it doesn't mean coach Chuck Pagano is soft on weather.

5. Dallas Cowboys' Jason Garrett
The Cowboys are preparing for their game against the Packers on Sunday in Wisconsin, when the mercury is expected to dip into the 20s.
On Wednesday in Dallas, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said it's all about preparation.
“It’s a relatively cold day here. It’s in the 30s with a cold wind," Garrett told reporters. "We practiced in that this morning. Prepare yourself accordingly and go play football. That’s what we emphasize to our team."
6. New England Patriots' Bill Belichick
Earlier this football season, Bill Belichick said he was tired of meteorologists' inaccurate weather predictions "that are almost always wrong."
But the Weather Channel checked its forecasts and reported that it correctly predicted three of 11 game forecasts at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, while three were off by more than one degree.
