That's my take too; it's just kind of funny and interesting listening to the guy speak. It's like he's not trying even 1% to be entertaining or play ball in any way. And he doesn't care what he sounds like! I kind of respect him in an odd way for it. At one point in the interview he was asked about young players doing well in the playoffs or if that's a problem, etc. Bill said "in the playoffs the most important thing is playing well; it's not about being young or old or this or that" or words to that effect... He's right. It's amazing how well a football game goes when you play well and execute. He sounds utterly defeated and deflated, like you have to wonder what drives him at this point in his career, especially with all that he has accomplished. He's a really odd--yet interesting--duck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's thinking "I have studied this team to death twice this year and played them twice, and I just don't like our chances against them on Saturday night." Let's hope so! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If things don't go well he may seriously think of retiring after that. IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when he gets a topic he wants to talk about. Example poyer and Hyde. Whenever asked about them he gushes.

But guys like Belichick are not normal; they are completely one dimensional people, have OCD to an extent, and they are enormously ambitious and competitive. They need to be 100% focused on lots of hard work to be happy. The kind of guy who won't know what to do with himself when he retires, so he doesn't. Not sure how it will play out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyobills89 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 My boss is like this. Signed his business over to his son in law and should be retiring. But he just can't quit it. He's actually there working and managing things more than the son in law. Certain people are just consumed by their profession and find anything else just doesn't cut it for them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjv001 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 How does anyone stand to listen to a Belichick interview.

I totally agree but like I said I think he is all in next year to go for the Division. It's going to be all about Mac Jones' play. Nobody can convince me that he is not regretting moving on from Brady. He might of thought he did the right thing last year but after TBs play this year.............it's got to be eating him alive.

Ghost_002! Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I rather not listen to him and I am a pats fan. Plus he honestly is the same way whether he wins or loses in press conferences so there is no difference. The only time he has been different is during a SB win or when he is being interviewed for NFL films. Other than that. it's basically the same tone in regular season wins or loses.

hondo in seattle Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 "The most important thing in the playoffs is to play well." He's an intelligent guy but it's remarkable how much he talks like a kindergartner. Its likes he goes out of his way to avoid substantive, interesting answers and just says the very most obvious, basic thing possible.

Utah John Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 For some people, there is exactly one job in the world they're meant to have, and Belichick has been in that job for decades. What's he supposed to do if he retires, start a book club? He won't retire, ever, unless he has a health issue that forces him to step back. The biggest issue is that he's also the GM and he's not nearly as good at that job as he is as HC. A time might come when he's forced to step away from GM duties, but even that looks unlikely at this point since he has so much power in the organization and is so close to the Krafts. 15 minutes ago, Ghost_002! said: Bingo! It's all intentional. Do you remember the movie "Being There" with Peter Sellers? A guy starts speaking in obscure platitudes, and everyone considers him a genius. The thing is, Belichick really is a genius at coaching and also cheating, but the platitude approach is safe, boring, and never gets him into hot water, so he can concentrate on his two areas of excellence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is actually not that bad of a GM, yes he has had some misses ( some bad misses too) but nobody is perfect in getting their drafts correct and there are teams who end up getting good draft picks because they have sucked for so long. His philosophy is give the other team no bulletin board material at all cost. So that is why he says very little at press conferences. His job is secured yes, sometimes to a fault (drafting) but i think there are people trying to force his hands a little when it comes to drafting certain position, I think. at least there should be more of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So please everyone don't waste 10min of your life. He has been a very bad GM. He has had players who he has drafted and signed in free agency who have contributed and /or started through all of his years as a GM, especially comparing him to all the other GMs in the NFL. There are GMs who were in better draft positions and still screwed up their draft picks. Again I am not saying he hasn't had bad misses, but if we extend this to other GMs. I am sure you will find there are worse GMs than him. right now jones D.Harris R.Steveson Barmore K. Dugger J.Meyers M.Onwenu 1st and 2nd years picks that have contributed to the pats winning 10 games this season. (in only year 2 of Brady being gone...) Edited January 10, 2022 by Ghost_002!

If you have sons. 100% true ha ha. I recall some parents reunions, even one that was 100% dads. It really was that clear cut. Those with daughters knew all the school gossip and more. Us dudes with sons barely knew anything ha ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
