PFT: Belichick is "very surprised" he hasn't heard from NFL teams

[MarionBarberThe4th]

It’s kind of why I’m surprised anyone took on Deshaun. Liek you can have fun at work why do you want anyone who brings headaches

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

I think a lot of people think the same thing I've been saying for over 10 years and that is Brady was the main reason for the Patriot's success more so than Belichick.

My guess is Belichick is using the North Carolina job to trigger possible 2025 interested NFL teams into contacting him now instead of waiting until after the season is over.

That whole run was so weird. A late round skinny qb who never jumps off the screen with any real considerable skill set and yet they developed game plans and prepared and won often. Super goofy.


I think it helps that they weren’t just winging it. They scripted their plays and had contingencies and didn’t wasn’t their time.


And iirc they would Always trade down and get cheap draft picks to fill out the roster

His day are numbered, besides he’s too busy hanging out with his daughter………I mean girlfriend…

 

[Risen Star]

I mean, isn't it a little early? There's 5 more games to play.

Probably still wants to be GM as well. That is a deal killer.

It’s probably a good time to remind everyone that Jerry absolutely loves talking about “names” in the NFL. Anyone who is famous or has a “name” as a player or coach, he loves to act like, “sure he could be a Cowboys player“, or “He‘s a great coach and a great friend”, yada, yada. Implying they could be here.

In other words, Jerry just loves the talk if it gives his team some spotlight. I’ve never considered Bill B a serious candidate here for two very important reasons:

1. Belechick is used to having a ton of control - the locker room, what’s said to the press, and what players are selected in the draft. I’ve never bought he would be good with losing any of that here.
2. Since Jimmy left, Jerry has always been threatened by a head coach who takes some of his most precious “credit” for anything good that happens.

In the end, Jerry Jones is perhaps the most weirdly insecure billionaire who happens to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a “contributor” for his business genius in crafting the NFL into a cash register impervious to fan whims. But…he somehow will never be satisfied until he is lauded as some kind of football genius….which he will never be.

And I don‘t believe Jerry will ever hire another great coach in his lifetime. He just can’t handle the idea of someone besides him ever being responsible for s9me thing great happening with the Cowboys.

It’s not coincidence that BB interviewed just before the transfer portal opens up. I think he goes to the NCAA.

 

[noshame]

Idk has he watched his pressers from his last couple years?
HI I'M BILL, AND I HAVE A PULSE.

lol try granddaughter

Yeah, I'm curious as to how the rest of the HC needy teams receive the rumors that Belicheck wants his son as a tag a long and possible successor to him when he hangs 'em up.
I mean, it's only a rumor but I'm just saying.

Well sure. The same can be said about Andy Reid. But the coach has something to do with it. A lot of coaches had elite QBs and never got to that many super bowls.

So TB carried the team and BB was just along for the ride. So it’s not a team game it’s whether you have an elite QB that carries a team not how the cap and player decisions and discipline are managed. TB was important but BB dumped a high price QB and went with TB and built a balanced team. BB had little to do with the 9 SB appearances, I can only shake my head.

 

[Boysdaboys]

Honestly, I think he would be best suited to coach the Bills. Assuming they flame out in the postseason and fire the HC.

Elite QB? Check
Decent defense? Check
Good culture/rabid fans? Check

That's a SB ready team missing a HC to get them over the hump in the postseason.

 

[Boysdaboys]

Well sure. The same can be said about Andy Reid. But the coach has something to do with it. A lot of coaches had elite QBs and never got to that many super bowls.

Andy Reid went to four NFC title games with McNabb. Narrowly lost a SB as well. He won a playoff game with Alex Smith and old Jeff Garcia. Reid had a superb resume before Mahomes.

Belichick had two playoff appeareances in 11 years without Brady. What makes it worse was Brady went on to win five postseason games (SB win) without Belichick. With the Bucs of all teams.

This also tells me that Jerry hasn't even started reaching out to coaches either.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Inn the middle of the season?

I think Belichick's market will be limited to begin with. First, his age may be a problem. Then, there are those who think he owes his success to Tom Brady. I think that is true to some extent, but not totally. Belichick had some good defenses too and that was not about Brady. It is odd how Belichick suffers from that logic, but Bill Walsh didn't. Walsh coached the 49ers in the 1980s with Joe Montana as his QB and Jerry Rice at WR. True he drafted those players, but so did Belichick draft Tom Brady. Walsh went 2-14 his first year with SF, then 6-10 his second year, the year Montana first started as the QB.

Dude knows the importance of the foundation, of defense and of balance. He can stand up to Jerry too,,, those are the things that have killed this organization since Jimmy left.

Right about “could stand up to Jerry” but that’s exactly why Jerry will never hire him.

True. But we must remember that Jerry doesn’t respect coaches. He doesnt pay them well despite being the richest owner in sports and he cares little to nothing about undermining his head coach. He’s not concerned about it.

I believe his statement that “500 guys could coach this team” is still his philosophy.

I have nothing against him as a coach, but his record without Brady is 82-98 and he is 1-2 in the playoffs without him.

I do not think is a bad coach and I do think he is a solid defensive coordinator, but his history without Brady was never very good.

Add to that the fact that Brady went to Tampa Bay of all places and won a Super Bowl with that team further cements that legacy.

I can't see bill kissing teenagers *** trying to recruit them.

 

[Big_D]

Some people are truly ridiculous just crediting Brady for a coach that won 6 super bowls. Same could be said about any Super Bowl coach that had a great QB. It takes a lot more to win 6 championships plus 2 as a DC no matter how good your QB is. You can guarantee if Brady was drafted by the slop Jerry was putting together around that time his career trajectory would look very different.
