Beane lucked out... all this time I assumed it was the draft capital he acquired by trading players during the 2017 season and offseason, including trading their starting LT, Cordy Glenn, to the Bengals, with moving up to acquire a QB in mind... and now I find out it was purely by accident. 2 1 Quote
jkeerie Posted January 24 Posted January 24 It's interesting that the only interest shown in Belichick has been Atlanta...yet they are still looking at other options. Is Belichick demanding complete control like he had in NE? If so, no thank you...especially if your team needs WR help. 1 Quote
Mikie2times Posted January 24 Posted January 24 I was just about to post a link about Bill breaking up with the Patriots because he was having an affair with Goodell. I guess video was submitted to the Boston Globe. It also has Tom Brady doing something weird. Article wouldn't specify. I guess it belongs in this thread now. 1 Quote

Bob Jones Posted January 24 Posted January 24 I'm gonna go against the grain here....I think he's too old and spent. I don't want him anywhere near OBD. Plus, for God's sake, this man was the face of our mortal enemy for decades! I'd take Vrabel or Harbaugh in a heartbeat, because like so many others in here, I think McD has done all that he can do, and he's never going to get us to the SB. 1 3 Quote

The "mortal enemy" thing is actually a plus for me. Pats fans would go out of their minds to see us win a title w/ him. 1 Quote

Bills!Win! Posted January 25 Posted January 25 I wonder if Belichick joins the bills as DC just to stick it to the Patriots? Sounds like a Bill move Quote
Peter Posted January 25 Posted January 25 I was at Super Bowl 25 against the Giants. Bill was the primary reason we lost. He created a defense just for that game and knew that Kelly would not be patient or smart enough to take what they gave us. It would be interesting if he were to coach us to a Super Bowl after preventing us from winning when we should have all those years ago. The guy is a great coach and was able to beat McD with a terrible QB. If I were Bill B, the Bills job (if it became available) would be the most attractive in the NFL. 5 Quote

McDermott said he talked to Pegula and Pegula still supports him being Coach. It ain't happening this season. Quote
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 25 Posted January 25 I bet he ends up being some senior defensive consultant for a team. Quote
stuvian Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Things got weird when he had Matt Patricia coaching offense and his OC coaching defense in 2022. That felt like he was experimenting in real time for no apparent benefit to the team. Was there ever an explanation for that? Maybe he finally outsmarted himself. It would be strangely abrupt for his career to end this way. I don't think he has the leverage to go in to a new team and negotiate control over personnel given his abysmal track record in the draft. I can more easily see him in Washington than Atlanta. 1 Quote
Coach Tuesday Posted January 25 Posted January 25 The Bills head into every playoff game at a coaching disadvantage. Not to say they can’t overcome it with talent, but so far they haven’t. There is no salary cap on coaches. I would 100% be in favor of this if there were sufficient checks on the scouting side (he sucks at it). 1 1 Quote

Opening the door that much more for us to sign him up. Pegula can give him a "birthday present" of whatever 60 foot fishing boat he wants, and a slip in Erie Basin Marina. Oh, and double whatever New England paid him. Don't give him General Manager powers, however. I do NOT think BB would argue that at this stage of his career. He's getting older, but that guy as our HC is the stuff of dreams. If it goes south after 2 years, we will be NO FURTHER BEHIND than where we are going to be with McDermott, anyway. Perfect post!!! 1 1 Quote

Sounds like a Bill move McDermott would never go for it. Could you imagine Sean's mood if Bill was his DC. Bill is a much better HC and DC than Sean. I could easily see the players tuning McDermott out and listening to Bill. Why wouldn't they. Look at the success that both have had as HC and DC. Sean would not be happy. It would be like a Mike Ditka/Buddy Ryan situation when the Bears defensive players carried Buddy off the field after winning the Super Bowl in 85. Quote

I mean allegedly he is asking for the power of veto in Atlanta. So while he doesn't necessarily "need" to be GM, he is going to want the final say and I don't think he is taking a job without that.

He's one of the 2-3 greatest coaches I've ever seen, but if anybody gives him what he is asking for I think they are doing both him and themselves a disservice. 3 Quote
