Belichick out in New England

[Whirlwin]

Brady made this guy

I guess you really don’t know Bill Belichick. I’m from New England. I understand how great he is but I also understand why you would say that.

Parting ways from Bill would leave a huge void in the Patriots organization. They would have to hire a GM and a HC to replace BB.

Bill hasn't been a good GM for a while, his draft classes would get crucified if he had those in Dall and rightfully so

It’s going to be fun to watch Green Bay and new England return to the basement where they belong.

Green Bay is just crawling out. Patriots won’t be there for long. It’s the Giants and the Eagles that are going backwards.

Exactly. He has no stockpile of first round draft picks any longer. He kept trading his first round players when he came to re-sign them. That was the genius.

Being from New England has nothing to do with anything. People from Dallas do not automatically know the Cowboys coach lol.

That majority of HOF qbs made their HC, it'll always be that way

My goodness..........this is already one of the strangest years of NFL coaching changes we have seen in a long time. We have quickly gone from 5 vacancies to 8. Caroll, Belichick and Vabreal we didn't see coming........hell, word is Tomlin also be on the list soon.

 

[The Ominous]

It's Vrabel foe sure.

It has a lot to do with everything. I talk to the players the coaches. You get inside information I’ve been training for over 60 years probably longer. Professional athletes working out with them. One of my best friends is a two times Super Bowl running back. So. I believe I have the first autographed ever from Bledsoe. Not that that’s a big deal but I like it.

Big Mike better win a SB this year.

Jerry has plans…..

ok

 

[Whirlwin]

ok

Normal people, they have a life after the game. This is a small area. Everybody knows everybody. People that know me here know my integrity.

Didn't see a thread yet on this sorry if I missed it.

The drive that led BB to the success he had, is the same drive that will keep him from retiring. You don't just turn that off.

He was just as instrumental in the Patriots success as Brady was.

He was. I don’t care for the guy but the narrative seems to be he won because of Brady…..just not fair to say both were great and all time greats.

 

[jazzcat22]

Just seen this on GMFB. But did not listen to much of it.

Pretty crazy how all 3 were connected and all 3 retired within 24 hours.

Belichick's exit from New England is expected to come less than 24 hours after his close friend Nick Saban retired from Alabama.

There is a symmetry and a similarity in the goodbye of two football legends -- men that are widely considered the greatest coach in professional history and the greatest coach in college football history. Belichick helped lead the Patriots to nine Super Bowl appearances and six Super Bowl titles; Saban led Alabama to nine SEC titles and six national championships.

Additionally, Saban succeeded Pete Carroll as the Ohio State secondary coach in 1980; Belichick worked with Saban in Cleveland from 1991 to 1994; and Belichick replaced Carroll as the Patriots head coach in 2000 before all three vacated their long-standing jobs this week in a 24-hour period.

I don’t believe he cheated. Deflate ball that was a joke.

Yeah I joke about him cheating but if all he did was deflate balls I don’t get how that benefited his team on defense lol.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

IF there was any doubt whether Quinn gets an offer.......with 8 HC openings, it is safe to say he's a goner.

Brady made this guy

Can’t say that though because Brady didn’t coach those defenses. And he didn’t win 11 games with Matt Cassell.
