The ESPN piece that forms the basis of this article form the NY Post is what you really want to read if you are interested in this.

 

I have not read it, but apparently it's quite revealing and suggests BB is done in the league.

Arthur Blank: "Bill, do you have any explanation for your 36-44 record in Cleveland without Brady? Or your 5-11 season in 2000 in New England before Brady? You know you had only one win better than Rich Kotite in the same amount of games coached your first 6 seasons as HC, right? What about your 0-2 start in 2001 before Mo Lewis changed your legacy forever? Or your 29-38 record after Brady left NE? You know he won a Super Bowl without you? Any explanation on any of that?

 

Belichick: "No"

 

Blank: "ok, well, we'll let you know. Don't call us, we'll call you"

 

That's why Belichick didn't get hired

 

In Cleveland he was a 1st time coach that got his team to 11-5 before the final season, which was a throw away season because of the planned move to Baltimore, which he went 5-11. 

 

He took over a Pats team that were 8-8 and 9-7 the two years prior and needed one year to turn them into a contender. Brady wasn't Brady until 2006. His stats were average. He also went 11-5 the year Brady was hurt. Then they did a quick rebuild and got to the playoffs two years after Brady left.

 

His big issue came with making Matt Patricia the OC. He isn't an Offensive guy and his team wasn't good offensive but still remained strong defensively. If he took over a team like Philly or Dallas that can score watch out. Especially Philly imo

Maybe Atlanta dodged a bullet, because Bellichick hasn’t won anything without Brady, or at least that’s how I’m told it works.

Yes.  I've heard many dumb people make that argument in the past.

Belichick being Belichick kept Belichick from getting another job. Nobody wants to put up with a rigid old defensive coach if they bring his baggage, He wears people out and he has no idea about offense without Brady.

This is funny. Kraft kept him on his payroll for 20+ years, won a bunch of Superbowls and was probably the most dominant team over 2 decades but is warning teams about him.

Wow. I was wondering why it was a short term discussion with BB. Plus,all the controversy over the documentary, no class. As always. 

 

For what it's worth, the Pats proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that being classy has zero correlation to winning Superbowls.

Belichick the GM was the problem. He shouldn't have control of the roster. The guy can flat out coach. Bill with Josh and Beane as the GM would bring a Lombardi to Buffalo IMHO. We will never know since McDermott will be here next year and most likely beyond.

Is this sarcasm?  He's already been a head coach and is 21-38.   By definition he is already a below average head coach.   

Its not. Morris got a shot and he probably wasn't ready just yet. But he is highly thought of and a smart coach. I think he is going to do very well in Atlanta 

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a very specific reason to revive this one.
