Why would Jerry let him come here if he wants some level of control? Jerry's not trying to build a stadium so why would he be "uncomfortable" ceding anything to BB? He flat out stated that the Parcells years weren't as fun for him. BB would produce the same thing for him.

Welcome to the party. I called this a necessary evil. I don't like him anymore than I liked that Giants carpetbagger Parcells. That said...given that we have Jerry...we need a guy who can tell him to go to hell in the heat of the moment.

Why the concern with his age.........he will likely bring with him young offensive and defensive coordinators. Say what you want but man knows defenses. IMO he's the defensive version of Andy Reid and Kyle Shanahan.....all three are HOFers
If he brings in a mostly young staff, I'm cool with it.

Because it will be a short term situation. If he is 73 heading in to next season he probably won't coach the initial 5 years. There's a lot that needs fixing and little time in that case. I'd like to see what he can do with the D also and possibly get real play out of the D line for a change, but it's still a tall order.

I keep going back to this . What did NE do After Tom Brady left .

:huh:
It wasn't just Brady. They lost Gronk. They lost Amendola. They lost Edelman. They lost some OL. They lost 3 or 4 marquee defenders via FA as well. It was a mass exodus over 2 seasons that gutted the team. Then Belichick stepped down.

The first thing this team needs is discipline. The second thing is a HC who understands which players are worth the money. The third is someone who won't allow Jerry to be a distraction or an enabler.

I don't think even Bill could accomplish that task, but it's worth a shot.

This, it wasn’t fun for Jed but we loved that era, less him being seen.

When was the last time Jerry allowed his HC to hire his own staff? Don't bank on Jerry allowing that to happen with whomever replaces MM.

I don’t see BB coming here. If he does I don’t think he would be successful especially with the current roster. Jerry would have to give BB full control. I don’t think Jerry is ever going to do that. Zimmer is the next head coach of the Cowboys.

Sadly, Jerry’s track record agrees with you.

It either won't happen, or won't matter. Jerry isn't likely to give him any control. So nothing will change. If BB is ok with that, then he's just in it to beat Don Shula's record.
