And that could be the worst thing to happen to the franchise since they let Brady walk away. Kraft might not have the balls to fire Bill if they finish with 5 wins and continue to show obvious signs of improvement since the QB change.
I still don't get it, there were years when he was a top candidate and refused to take any jobs. After failing in Denver he really had one more chance as a head coach so he had to find the right fit. Then after all that selectiveness he decides to take the Raiders, who were a mess with a disaster of an owner and in a rough division where they couldn't likely compete? Self sabotage, and he failed miserably again.
Yep.
I don’t really blame him for getting upset over that, going behind your HC back to ask for outside help is dysfunctional.
Bill wants to win because he’s after Shula.
It's a real conundrum with Belichick. I don't want him fired as coach but if he was just the gm he would have been fired already and you're probably not going to get him to agree to let someone come from the outside and be the gm. Is Kraft going to eat 25 million to fire him and actually go out and get a qualified coach for the money they cost? Would bringing in a real gm who has a pulse for how to build an offense while trying to keep some continuation with Mayo as head coach and Steve Belichick as dc work?
Maybe the tankathon is dead, but I can’t see the Kraft family taking Belichick back. THIS year was Bill’s ‘give me another chance’ year. After 2020; the collapse at the end of 2021 (lost 4 of final 5 including playoffs); the debacle that was last season; and this season… ANYONE would fire the architect of this team. We’re four seasons into the 2020s, and it’s absolutely time to move in a different direction. Even the Krafts have to admit they’ve given Bill more than a fair shot to rebuild. Most coaches get four years and often start with less than Belichick got to work with.
I hope you are right. Agree he is cooked. Sadly so is Kraft and his kids just keep shoving that silver spoon in their mouth.
They probably will hurdle down to earth against the Bills but they aren't losing to the Jets. Not even Mac Jones lost to the Jets.
Yup. He was a no brainer. Putting up big numbers on a terrible BC team who had a god awful Oline and tetrrible QB in Jurkovec. I am wrong about plenty of stuff but glad I was right on Zay Flowers. Probably should have been drafted higher.
I thought Jayden Daniels looked the best out of every QB in college this season. My worry is that he had 2 top tier NFL receivers on his team at LSU so who knows if he’ll be able to make NFL throws without the same level of separation from his receivers.
Say they take Fashanu at 4 or 5, who’s the QB next season? What about wide receivers? This team has an anemic offense
Yep, I think they would just run it back without improving much. Bill will blame it on Mac to try to convince Kraft to give him another chance with Zappe.
Tee Higgins and kirk cousins, please pick up the white courtesy phone. There's a brinx truck on the other end.
Higgins will get franchised. Cousins just doesn’t do it for me. Would prefer to tank again next season rather than be a middling team with crap draft position.
He likely took it too far in his punishment and he created the dysfunction by hiring a DC as an OC but you still can’t have your players seeking outside help in the middle of the season.
