100% facts.

 

This is pretty much the case for all sports. Great HC's usually have great players. It's okay for them to get credit when they win championships. When those players leave so does team success.

 

Just look at Greg Popovich when he loss 3 HOF players in Duncan/Manu/Parker. Spurs have been a lottery team with that same HC.

 

Patriots now experiencing that with no Tom Brady at QB.

Pete Carroll and Kyle Shanahan make most QBs in their system look pretty good.

No. More. Old. Ass. Men.

he'll just move into some Patriots front office position.

I wouldn't be totally shocked if he just called it a career. Not sure he would be skillful enough to be VP of player development or the like, and don't think he's personable enough to be VP of community engagement or such. I'm sure they will offer to transition him in to some empty office though, because how do you realistically fire him?

Bill and Tepper would end up killing each other.

So….yes?

Didn't mean something quite like that, more like one of those "advisor to the owner" type of roles where they just pay him to be visible with the Patriots and be someone Kraft can bounce ideas off of.

It seems like this will be his last year in NE. He’d probably want 15-20 million a year and Tepper would probably be one of the few owners willing to pay that. He could resurrect his legacy by building a winning somewhere outside of NE, where better than Boston-South in Charlotte. 

NOOOOO!

[t96]

would probably turn out like the Sean Payton debacle in Denver but at least we wouldn't have to trade draft picks for him. I hate the cheater with a passion but you know what, if we get him there's possibly a chance he could bring us some success for the first time under Tepper so sure whatever why not. Can't be any worse than it is right now. I can't believe it's gotten to this point that I would even type that but here we are

It doesn't matter, as he's never coaching a game for anyone other than the Patriots, when he's done there, he's just done,

Disagree. He's gunning for Shula's wins record and based on how this year is going I highly doubt he gets the opportunity to chase it in NE. Although I bet Andy Reid retires with the most wins by a HC when all is said and done.

LOL at people calling Belichick a "retread coach"

If there was ever a previous HC that couldn't be considered a "retread" it would be the best coach of all time.

It doesn't matter, as he's never coaching a game for anyone other than the Patriots, when he's done there, he's just done, it would be the weirdest thing ever to see him coach another team, he'll just move into some Patriots front office position.

It's looking more and more like Brady carried that duo far more than Bill did. If he's fired at the end of the season and then re-hired elsewhere, it won't be because of what he's done since the divorce. He'd be hired based on his reputation with the GOAT QB. BB was a very good coach with Brady, but plugging him into a similar situation as he's in in NE isn't going to yield different results.

noob posting to post it looks like. Why would he want to coach under a control freak like tepper and his wife? he's off to the sunset until washington or the raiders offer him 100 million dollars when he's 70
