possibly, but bill has said he could work with jerry , and jerry said same thing.
Bill also said he doesnt want to be GM.
I think bill would have more power than say JG or MM, but he mainly just wants to be HC.
Bill just wants a decent team that can get him his 14 wins. He doesnt care about power unless the only job he can get is with a bottom feeder team...in which case he might want to flex his knowledge and insist on a few things he think will get him to 14 wins sooner. He doesnt want to be stuck on a team winning 4 games a year...it would take him 4 years to get to 14 wins.
I actually think coaching is the opposite of what is preached around here...I think old wisdom is good, the game is slowed down for the older wiser guys....you just need make sure the old fart is up to date on what is going on in the NFL and how to counter certain things on both sides of the ball.
I am not here or there on Big Bill...I just dont buy the 'young guy with fire and innovation' approach as gospel. Especially when dealing with a 7 time SB winning coach that seemed to have a 10 year stretch where tons of things were coming out of New England that EVERYONE was paying attention to. Its not like the Patriots were some lazy team running on talent....it was obvious their wheels were spinning legally and illegally on how to win games.
Just blindly following the 'young guy with fire, innovation' ideology because 'we need change and driven people to thwart complacency' isnt scientific to me at all. Its just something that sounds good.
