This is a credible marketing strategy for Jerry.
Agreed. He has a good relationship with the Joneses and knows that he would be the de facto GM, with Jerry taking the credit and the blame. Belichick is the type, like Parcells, who could actually throw his weight around and get away with it. Of course, first thing I'd ask is if the Joneses are going to allow me to go get the players I want in free agency. Considering the Patriots were one of the teams that usually didn't spend big in FA, I don't think he'd be asking for carte blanche spending.
Hell no !
Jerry won't allow the right kind of discipline. It goes against his player-buddy persona.
Don’t put so much thought into your next reply.
This 100%......he and the Patriots were very similar to Jerry and Stephen regarding free agency.......fiscal conservative. His scheme made a lot Jags into quality players. I honestly believe he's the one defensive coach who could turn this defense around fairly quickly and wouldn't need a bunch of superstars. My only concern is what OC he brings with him but I'm guessing Jerry would make sure he is a good fit with Dak.
Jerry was desperate because he wanted his stadium built and he couldn’t sell that with the teams and talent he was fielding. Now? It’s all about JJ ego, and BB flys right in the face of that. Jerry doesn’t have a reason to hire an old HC. He’s not going to give up control I think that’s pretty clear, so my only hope is they bring someone in who can manage the relationship in a way that Jerry will buy in, and BB isn’t that guy.
Hopefully, Jerry'd let him bring in his own OC. One of Belichick's former lieutenants I'm sure. I do think Belichick's focus would be on fixing the interior DL. If he comes here and it's not, then I'll be disappointed.
Brian Daboll ........
I'm not sure about Daboll. I think he's been living off the success he had as Buffalo's OC with Josh Allen at QB. His offense definitely has not been anything special in New York. I could see Belichick bringing in McDaniels since they had a lot of success together with McDaniels as OC. I can't find where McDaniels is working anywhere this year after getting fired as the Raiders' head coach, so the two could already be conspiring to reunite at Belichick's next stop.
