TheWei44 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Realize this is probably not a serious idea, but it'd be like asking the former CEO of Coca Cola (who was in charge when the stock went up 100X) if he'd be interested in being the CFO or COO of Pepsico. Why would anyone ever make a move like that? Or asking a former US president to be a VP. Has never happened and would basically never happen.

NI Bills Fan Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 No way BB takes a coordinator role ... even less chance he takes a DC role with a team who already has a defensive minded head coach who will want a significant say in the running of the D.

I realize Tom Is the GOAT QB for now but that doesn't mean he is going to be a good announcer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, after all he's accomplished he's not taking a DC role for any team. I actually think he will do well on TV in the pregame show. However, if he's not going to be coaching this year I think (if he's open to it) hiring him in a consultant role may be smart. Say what you will, but McDermott respects Bill a whole lot. And maybe Bill would want to do something with Buffalo as we know he loves him some Josh Allen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I wasn’t clear on what I meant also, you want to have differing ideas in the building maybe that would lead to us getting farther in the playoffs and your defense not adjusting at all to having AJ Klein cover Travis Kelce Edited January 30 by NeverOutNick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not wrong, Bill's bottle was filled with gatorade, his Alpha Bits cereal was only X's and O's, and he wore a jock strap when potty training. He IS football personified.

Blackbeard Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 There'd be too much clashing regarding defensive strategy between Bill and McD. The media would have a field day anytime one of them had a sour look in their eye. Just look what's going on w Diggs and all the non drama they start.

He had a great staff and a great QB when they were winning SBs. But he had to have full control of everything and you see what that got. My question with Bill is how much is him and how much was Ernie Adams, his strategy guru? How about giving Ernie Adams a call?

TheFunPolice Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 The thing is, he doesn't seem able/willing to be flexible and adjust. It's "the Patriot Way" no matter what. Grumble grumble. Tisk. shrug. When it's working he's the evil Jedi master in the hoodie with glowing red eyes. When he has Mc Jones at QB and Matt Patricia as OC he's just a grumpy old man in a hoodie with a losing record.

Now here's the wild part, Tom Brady, since he has been away from football for a year now, is considered an amateur again, and can claim his 4th year of NCAA eligibility and go back to Michigan as their QB. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...since it'a a military academy, recruitment is different, operating under military constraints. Candidates, including athletes, need to be nominated. There are no athletic scholarships. So...I could see the Naval Academy being an attraction for Belichick in light of his father's legacy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
