Just watched it & thought it was very, very well done. They're obviously the GOATs in terms of head coaching in college & pros respectively. One thing that I found interesting-and pertinent now with Judge-is that they don't look fondly upon former assistants raiding their staffs when they become the top dog somewhere. I believe Mangini did that with BB when he came to the Jets & BB all but swore him off.
Anyways, if you're looking to kill an hour & a half, check out this documentary. I saw it on Amazon Prime.
What totally floored me was when Saban told Bill that only he and one other individual in the NFL bother to personally ask him about his draft prospects in a given year.

Cutcliff said that only 2 HC personally called him about Daniel Jones. It was Shurmur and Belichick who called, no one else.

Their take on raiding former staffs doesn't really shock me.

Both those situations are either incredibly sloppy on the part of the NFL teams, or there is some legitimate reason which escapes me for neglecting to do so.
I don't think it would serve the college coach well to say anything negative which could have a big impact on recruiting. Just like it is rare that NFL coaches ever say negative things about players.

One of the biggest recruiting tools is to say that you've gotten players into the NFL.
If a college coach is known to lie about their players and puff them up, NFL coaches are going to ignore them and what they say and maybe pass on his players. If a coach is a straight shooter with NFL coaches, then teams are more willing to take a chance on there players.
So I'm guessing that lying to Bill Belichick isn't a great career move. But that's just my guess.
(I probably don't want to know).
