Hello fellow Bills fans, welcome to my question of the day, I hope you all are well and moving on from the recent Diggs stuff. :)

 

I was reading this ESPN article that came out today about Belichick and him not being hired or even considered in this last NFL coaching job carousel - https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39955777/how-patriots-legend-bill-belichick-end-nfl-job

 

Is it at all possible for McD to have a similar career path? My gut overwhelmingly tells me no, but I do wonder.... 

 

Let me know your thoughts and why!

Man you got me so excited when I glanced at your title thread and saw Vacation and McD. I was like “thank you Lord! Now he can’t screw up the draft making Beane take more defensive duds”

 

Man I hope he stay out of the draft room this year

Belichick was a defensive coordinator who became an offensive guru. Is it at all possible for McD to have a similar career path? My gut overwhelmingly tells me no, but I do wonder....

Can you define this career path? You are saying that Belichick became an offensive guru (which he didn't. His offensive coordinators always ran the offenses), so is that your question? Or do you mean will McDermott win as many superbowls? Or do you mean leave the team in 20 years and not be able to get a job?

   BB’s defense were often MONEY when it counted. McD’s usually aren’t even pocket change.

   I’ll worry about his Offensive prowess after he demonstrates some of the Defensive variety in the playoffs. Which , I’m guessing, is never.

Belichick is a control freak......

 

easy for an owner to reluctantly put up with his arrogance when he is winning as evidenced by N.E. making it to the AFC Championship game 13 times from 2001-2018.

 

as soon as the winning stops....out the door......then kraft happily sabotaging his future

 

McClappity isn't on that level and likely never will be

show me an elite level head coach who did it without an elite level QB 

 

don't bother looking

 

the hoodie should have swallowed his pride and rode brady til his arm fell off. the bigger mistake was thinking you could do it without replacing him with an elite level QB.....thats where his arrogance cost em

Belichick's career path was an outstanding DC who went on to become a great HC.  I would love McDermott to follow that path.

 

Belichick's failure to secure a new job after his NE stint ended, has more to do with his having total control in NE for 24 years and how he's perceived as relating to his players than to his being a primarily defensive HC.  Most owners don't want a GM/HC although a few teams still use this model.  They want a GM and HC to work together rather than competing for supremacy. 

 

I think that Belichick's perceived image is of a master manipulator and win-at-all-costs guy who doesn't tolerate mistakes, calls out anybody and everybody, etc.  I don't know if that's a true image or not, but I think when fans think of Belichick, that's a lot of what they think.    I think McDermott projects a much different image, one of a HC who cares for his players as people, is a patient teacher, is more encouraging coach than a disciplarian, and a HC who works well with others.  Again, I don't know that that's an accurate image, either, but several media analysts have speculated that many owners are looking for HCAs who work well with today's players -- and that would be kinder, gentler guys than Belichick and more like McDermott.

That’s okay, it’s probably not high on his priority list. 

 

Belichick showed who he was without Brady, and he’s the one who wanted all the control. They might have a better roster if Belichick had let Nick Caserio build a team like he has in Houston, but Belichick thinks he’s smarter than everyone else.

Well, that is on Belichick then. He’s the one who picked the OC’s, and he even put a DC in the role of OC. Brady was the magic on offense.

 

I’ll give Belichick credit for having been a defensive genius, a guy who stole a SB from us because Kelly wouldn’t just keep handing the ball to Thurman.
