The talent pipeline isn't capable of re-stocking at this speed. The thing is, I don't hate it. I think we are seeing the end result of the "draft a quote-unquote offensive guru who had a cup of coffee with Shannahan or McVay and pull the plug if it doesn't work in one year" mentality. I would say that there is limited pool of offensive coaches who can also handle the task of managing a team as a whole. I think that you are likely going to see pitches made to OCs in college while a more CEO type HC manages the team. That's...kind of what we did with Brady? And I think that's the only way we are potentially upgrading from Brady considering the demand elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDermott has done a great job in the second half of the year, but there's a reason even coaches who call offensive plays have an OC. I am ok with him calling, but he could use some administrative help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Boo Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 35 minutes ago, BBFL said: Just heard on the radio a conversation about Billy going to Atlanta. Won’t happen but the point they stated was there’s immediate chance for a division title with an owner who is willing to spend. Atlanta has some nice pieces, but still needs to find the right QB. If I'm them, I'm topping the offense off with another WR at #8 and signing Flacco. They'd be Super Bowl contenders. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 If the Patriots want to move on from Belichick they should just cut the man loose so he can decide his own fate. After 6 SB titles, he deserves that, as Brady did. Don't jerk him around and try to trade him so you can "get something for him." You got 6 rings and 9 trips to the SB. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as Billy has had our number he’s a legend and deserves the respect for success. It would be fitting if he went to Atlanta and made some noise after his team caused a franchise meltdown after their SB51 loss.

There is simply no way of telling if there is a shortage of talent capable of being NFL head coaches or not. Personally, I believe there is always an abundance of capable people. There just isn't an efficient way to sort thru the hundreds of options at the college/pro/unemployed levels. The fact that the list of candidates every few years becomes people you'd never heard of 3 years prior bears that out, IMO. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikePJ76 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 man I have to imagine being the guy who replaces Bill Belichick in New England is going to be one of the most difficult jobs ever.
