Wouldn't you want to hire a guy that you think could lead your franchise for many years instead of a guy who's just hanging around to break a record then likely retires in 2 to 3 years?

That’s understandable, really just depends on what point your franchise is at I think. Him on the panthers would’ve been silly, on the chargers looks different (tho as a chargers fan I’m v glad they got a harbaugh weirdo instead). A known bet is still different than hiring a random hotshot coordinator who has never actually coached a day in his life

It wouldn't surprise me if that was potentially part of the issue. You'd be fine with bringing in Billy 5 Aces if you were pairing him with some OC or DC who was ascending and you could keep around paying slight overs for 2-3 years with the expectation Belichick steps down and they step in for the presumptive decade following.

He brings with him a rapist bad DC and you'd think an OC who while a decent OC has no business being a head coach and if he only wants to bring in those guys and his sons, you can't really try and do a succession plan with that being the idea.

I'd feel better about betting that Bill Belichick will be a head coach in the NFL 3 years from now than I would Raheem Morris even now.

raheem is certainly a choice for the falcons when it feels like they desperately need to unfuck themselves offensively but hey we'll see what he's learned since the last time he was HC

Baltimore would probably block it, you have to offer a candidate a promotion in order for them to be able to leave their existing contract

Also Belichick just has to wait a year for the Jets to clean house, he's probably not sweating it.

Just spitballing - I’m not sure that Bill’s style works with a new staff, team, etc. He was the king of the castle in NE due to years and years of built of credibility through winning, but we see what happens when Belichick disciples try to instill that iron fist culture into a new team.

Bill is a terrible GM but remember we have multiple accounts that Belichick already wanted to upgrade Mac Jones after his rookie season and Kraft said no. he's obviously terrible at scouting WRs and FA pickups but the offensive woes are a shared mess, that team wins at least 3 more games with a Jacoby Brisette tier guy under center

He hired Matt Patricia and Joe Judge to be co-offensive coordinators after Jones’s rookie season. It’s a shared mess that he created!

We’re always told the NFL is a “what have you done for me lately” league and Bill’s recent record is horrendous.

in any case - even with Mahomes or Jackson - Patricia/Judge would be an awful decision. but to his (minimal, since he hired them in the first place) credit he moved on from them after one year. he wanted to do the same with Jones and wasn't allowed, and couldn't bring in a quality backup cause Kraft was pissy

IIRC, Rhule’s contract was Tepper being the new owner on the block showing he was willing to pay and take time to build a winner or whatever bullshit they said.

Now? Everyone knows Tepper is an asshat and the team is somehow worse off than before and you need to pay a hefty premium to get good staff, and there’s still a chance they all get fired when they don’t turn it around quickly enough to suit Tepper.

basically. Rhule got seven years, and the reporting structure was him and Fitterer. But the real weird thing there is that Rhule basically said whatever Phil Snow, the DC, wanted him to say. This was the main point of contention when the defensive coaches (and likely Chris Tabor, special teams coach) rose up and knifed him behind his back. Obviously Wilks outlasted Rhule and righted the ship but that wasn't good enough for Tepper.

Reich was 4 years. Main input into the process was him, Reich, and cap expert Suleiman who was reportedly real big on the whole "trade up for bryce" thing. The cap guy. why does he have input there is anyone's guess. That team had multiple members of the offensive staff communicating above Reich's head. Considering who they promoted to HC and who was immediatley released, you can guess that Staley and McCown probably weren't on team Bryce. Should also be pointed out Tabor was kept on from the Rhule staff at Teppers request, and was reported as knifing Reich via text...again.

So now we're set up for the head coach on a six year deal and an internal hire general manager and potentially a new cap expert all individually reporting to Tepper. And we still might have Tabor lurking around, telling Tepper exactly what he wants to hear.

Yeah I think Bill would have been fine keeping Patricia but Kraft told him to cut the crap. Also Judge got promoted to some kind of assistant head coach role after that season lol although with a focus on special teams (his actual background) instead of inexplicably being Mac’s QB coach.

He did not start making less-awful nepotism hires of his own accord
