New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick praised Aliquippa as a “great football area” Wednesday when he was asked about Steelers wide receivers coach Richard Mann, a native of that town. Mann, a member of Aliquippa's 1964 WPIAL championship team, coached under Belichick with the Cleveland Browns from 1991-93. “He comes from a great football area. He comes from Aliquippa,” Belichick said on a conference call with reporters. “There have been a lot of great players come out of that area. We had one here with Ty Law. Sean Gilbert and guys like that. “It's a tremendous football area with great tradition.”
