"If you think about it, the collapse of the Patriots football dynasty under Belichick is reminiscent of the fall of Napoleon, another brilliant but disagreeable strategist who failed to adapt to the changes his own success instigated, and who never developed a robust staff system." Everyone: :

Grittybeard posted:I can't imagine being a GM and telling Belichick 'no' about something. I have a track record here from the last decade+ that says I'm right, but Bill is going to rip me a new one for wanting to draft a good WR prospect. Or considering hiring assistant coaches he is not familiar with already and pointing out the bad ones. Yeah, that sounds like a terrible idea. Like Bill actively sabotaged BOB's offensive staff out of spite because he was forced to abandon the Matt Patricia OC experiment. What does anyone think he does with a GM hired because Kraft thinks Bill is washed as a GM?

The 11-5 season they had the entire roster from the 16-0 season and played a velvety soft strength of schedule and missed the playoffs. Cassell also went 10-5 one season in KC under Todd Haley lol More to the point though, most people aren't arguing Belichick sucked in 2001-2018, but that he's gone to poo poo the last 5 years, especially as a GM and in hiring and managing his staff, where he's been an absolute dumpster fire.

Impossibly Perfect Sphere posted:It is so incredibly dumb if they make Mayo head coach because Bill is gonna take half the coaches with him. Mayo will struggle to fill out a complete staff just like Flores did. I'm agnostic on if Mayo can be a good head coach or not, but I get the feeling that he wants to do his own thing his way and won't try to be a Bill clone and just hire Bill's old cronies. He'll crap the bed differently!

I mean the odds the Pats smoothly transitioned out of the Brady/Belichick eta were basically zero all along. This is all vibes but Mayo seems like less of a copycat loving rear end in a top hat than most of Bill's flunkies, which probably helps. My guess is if the GM is an internal guy, it's whoever Bill kept overriding to take Tyquan Thornton and a bunch of defense & special teams scrubs. If it flops I expect it to be differently stupid than 2019-2023 Belichick.

Belichick's brainworms involving the wide receiver position specifically have been consistently amazing, and I'll believe any story about him sucking at doing anything with it. "BILL HATES FAST HUMANS WHO CAN CATCH, DB'S CAN'T CATCH SO HE'S OK WITH THAT THO" "I believe you!"

Impossibly Perfect Sphere posted:Belichick never wanted BoB. He was hoisted on him by Kraft. Bill wanted/wants an OC who still stick around and build an offense for a few years, he knew BoB was looking to pad his resume to get an HC position. Kraft didn't foist BoB on him so much as say "Do literally anything else but Patricia and Judge, FFS" and Bill chose BoB.

Someone made a GOONDOLENCES FOR YOUR LOST SEASON gif that was pretty funny IIRC. "Decade of spectacular failure" being posted in a season ending in a Super Bowl is hard to top tho.

Belichick not finding a job with as many shitass teams as there are would be pretty funny tbh Like owners are assholes and all, but also, I get why you wouldn't want to hire an antisocial gigaprick who apparently will be a passive aggressive bitch if you want to have anything at all to do with the billion dollar asset that you own.

No GM will hire Belichick because it's basically firing yourself unless Bill has an epiphany and stops demanding roster control (LOL) Otherwise only gets a HC job if an owner wants to purge his whole front office anyway and thinks Bill can get his GM mojo from 10 years ago back.

Bill the GM has sucked rear end like 5 years running, and specifically his instincts when it comes to anything relating to players OR coordinators on offense are hyperbolicaly awful now, like maybe league-worst. That he can still coach defense on game day is almost irrelevant in the face of that.
