That chip Brady won in Tampa Bay really damaged Belichicks rep. Like poetic justice.
In his 1 st year in tampa at that
Brady would have never won a championship in Tampa if it wasn’t for Bill shoving him out of NE. That is poetic justice indeed. He wanted to prove that he could do it without Tom but in a strange twist of faith it was Tom who proved he could do it without Bill.
Where do y’all get that Bill was tryna prove he could do it without Tom. Bill did what he always does. He doesn’t hold on to any player for too long. He gets rid of/let’s them go just a tad bit before they lose their game.
@@oskinooa imagine if everybody had one year where their team got stacked full of good/hall of fame players to go for a Super Bowl…
@@reemo2119 this is not the NBA, that super team argument doesn't work in football. We have seen so.e many "stacked" teams get thier butts kicked. Besides if you remember that team was super mediocre all season barely made the playoffs.
The man is 71 years old. No one wants to hire a coach for 2 years just to have to go back to the drawing board. He is not the future of ANY team's franchise.
Big Facts!!!!!!! The game has passed him up.
@@marlinmalcolm4451Look at the Pats defense this year. It was really good. The problem isn’t his coaching, it’s him being a GM, the assistants he hires, and his attitude. He can still coach
This is a win now league. Teams mortgage their future for immediate success now, plenty of teams have done that in the past 5 years. If any team actually thought he would give them the best chance to win, his age would not stop them from hiring him. His age is not a factor. Teams don’t care about what happens in 3 years. They care about what happens now.
@@jsilva7005good point.I think you’re right.
@@jsilva7005 Look at the Pats offense this year though. Is he going to go be a defensive coordinator? No? Then you have to look at how the whole team performed and most importantly the win loss record. The head coach is the only position who has a wins loss stat and the team has consistently gotten worse every year.
He's oldschool in a new era. He's hard to work with. He's not a joy to be around and he's terrible at recognizing talent.
But 6rings should cover that
@@righteousstephen4932 6 rings in a era thats going away; that is the key to this. Nobody is saying he isnt great. I do get that the past 4 years without Brady isn't a good look and like SAS do you want him running the whole operation?
@@righteousstephen4932Not without Tom Brady it doesn’t. What was he before Brady and what has he been after Brady? Still want to hire him?
He’s terrible at recognizing offensive talent.
put him in an actual competitive confernce and take away the cheating by the Pats and the bizarre choking by other teams and maybe a single title?@@righteousstephen4932
Hard to see any organization giving Belichick the kind of control he had with the Pats...especially if they don't have a franchise QB!
That along with his age makes him virtually un-hireable.
Everybody in Buffalo wants him as their HC so bad. So very, very bad.
@@8gomerpyle22if Buffalo hired him I guarantee they would win a Superbowl
I never expected there to be crazy interest in Bill. He’s in his 70s, there’s not that many more years he can coach. And he’s incredibly stubborn, he’s not going to want to take orders from anyone, he’ll be difficult to work with
No GM would even touach him with 10 foot pole.
That move with him making Patricia and Judge offensive coordinators really backfired. It showed a great deal of arrogance.
how so?

Teams arent stupid. The fact teams said early this past season that Mac Jones was being mishandled and would of thrived or done just as well as Purdy and Tua then this result was obvious. Front offices saw Belichick mishandle his QB when McDaniels left and drafted poorly for years and not set his QB for success and then when he is free is saying i want full control? Yea im glad teams arent stupid.
You know how much teams are paying coaches not on the team anymore?? "Teams aren't stupid"??
@@V_I_V_I_D.gamingTeams cutting coaches even if they have to pay them not to coach is a much smarter decision than keeping that bad coach and not seeing your franchise improve. The dumb decision would be to not fire those coaches
Agreed, just the Mac Jones part, I saw nothing from this kid that shows me that's the franchise QB... And that's before Belichick brought in Patricia and Judge..
I think everyone knows that time has passed him by. His methods, personality and need for control just aren't attractive to teams. It's a new era and he's stuck in the past.
Ignorant
He’s barely a .500 coach without Brady
@@JuwanBuchananHe was actually below .500 before Brady 👀
No what's unattractive to team's is the fact that he want's to actually build a team and want's the control these GM and Owners are power hungry just like Ole Jerry Jones.
84-112 1-1 in the playoffs w/out Brady. roughly .470@@JuwanBuchanan
83-101 record without Tom Brady. 1 playoff win in his career without Tom Brady as his qb. Rex Ryan won more playoff games with mark Sanchez as his qb and reached an afc title game with him as qb….
Exactly - people who say Bill B is the GOAT head coach are just ignorant and don’t actually dig into the details.
Add to that notoriously grumpy and difficult to get along with 😂
Revis was crazy that year. That defense was elite
I love Brady but this notion that he put the team on his back from day 1 is ridiculous.
Exactly. He isn't even the greatest coach in the current era. Andy Reid would probably take that honor. Reid has around a 70% win rate with multiple teams and QBs. Bellicheater isn't even better than a coin flip.
I dont get why people say you "should be surprised" just because you were successful in the past doesnt mean you can be relevant and successful in the future. As a Falcon fan, I don't want Bill Belichick anywhere near our team. Go to some other team that will give him all the power he desires. We dont need him.
Who do you think would be the best fit for your team as HC?
@AmirKhan-yv8jm we have him. Raheem Morris. My preference was MacDonald, though.
Since this conversation is on First Take, I don’t see the Falcons getting him now
it must be crazy for bill to have been in control for so long to now walk into a job interview more vulnerable than ever. he’s at the mercy of any owner he sits in front of and that’s even if they give him a shot to plead his case. life will always humble you lol
He’s even being nice in those interviews probably, he might even be smiling.
Good take bro! Wow! Humbled forsure!!
This comment is such bs lmao
@@SupraFootwear2013 how so
@SupraFootwear2013 right lol
He needs to be a defensive coordinator but probably wouldn't stoop down to do that
Always remember, Andy Reid built TWO organizations and DRAFTED two franchise QB’s in Mcnabb and Mahomes. He coached up Favre in Green Bay. I say that to say when you compare the better HEAD COACH between him and Bill, these points get lost.
Not to mention Andy Reid’s coaching tree is far more successful than Bill’s.
Andy is better
Andy couldn’t get it done in Philly. His teams weren’t built as great as you think. That’s why he couldn’t win. He needed Pat, just like y’all say Bill needed Brady.
@@reemo2119 laughable! What does that have to do with building up a franchise? 5 NFCCG and a Super Bowl appearance for a franchise that was mediocre prior isn’t a turn around?
@@ShahLeezyfive
@@tony4534 proves my point more! I’ve lost count! Lol
*.437 Winning%* in 140 career coaching games without Brady. A grand total of 1 playoff win (Wild Card) in 10 full coaching seasons without Brady .. Now that is what's called damning numbers
Exactly... which is why I don't see why the Falcons, of all teams, would want him. With the offensive weapons they have, I'm shocked they aren't prioritizing a young, creative offensive mind who knows how to spread the ball around. Arthur Smith's offense was so archaic and lacked creativity. What's even worse is that they let their defensive coordinator walk after he turned them into one of the top 10-15 units in the league. Smh
He’s coached 187 games without Brady
Brady's early years he was clutch but not very good, and it was Belichick's defenses that won those first 3 rings, so give the man his respect. Tom had a top-10 defense every year he won a SB. What Belichick needs is a good GM to pick players, and he should just coach.
@@rebeltvr6046Brady lead the league in Pass TDs in 2002 his 1st full season and finished 3rd inMvP in 2003 but he def wasn’t very good right? Keep spewing same dumb Brady hating lies
@@davis2k1234 Not hating on Brady, he's the GOAT, but look at how they won...21-17 in the SB right? Against the RAms later on 13-3. Bellichick was as instrumental as Brady is my point
what if kraft said Belichick can’t coach anymore to every owner as bill did to Brady, love a good karma story in sports
Maybe being a Defensive Coordinator would be best suited for Bill Belichick right now. I was just thinking about what Wade Phillips who had multiple head coaching positions in the NFL and what he did for Sean McVay and the Rams in 2018. Bill can focus solely on Defense but also instill his mind and help a young head coach get their feet on the ground. Maybe being head coach might not be the best thing at this point.
He will never ever accept a DC role. His ego. He needs to retire
In a perfect world he’d be a DC for a team that really needs it, but as a 6 time sb champ, he’s never gonna accept anything less than HC
It's not a bad idea, but Belichick's ego would never let him think this way
Soon as Tom walked, they started to spend cash left , right and center. Tom expose the hold organization after they left him walk.
Well they had cap room once he left he was finally off their books and also, bellicheck tried to go the free agent route because he couldnt go to the bargain bin to get respectable players since his eraser wasnt there anymore.
@@universe-ie2mk Not just eraser , Tom use to take pay cuts every season.. And take average to half decent players and win.
Facts 😊
@@fazalishmail1386 That's the biggest urban legend and myth around. The Patriots accountants were the best around at hiding numbers and playing the forensic salary game. Tom Brady on average was in the top 3 for salary and bonuses paid out for 20 years straight.
@@trevmac8362 - Not the mention his business subcontracts from the Patriots before that got shut down. Also you have a little of the alumni effect going on outside of arms length sponsorship deals ($55M from the FTX founder). Also how much less did he really take. His contract overlaps Prescott's who made $40M/yr (Brady signed a year earlier). Brady's contract was $32M/yr.). Wilson's contract signed a year earlier than Brady's was for $35M/yr.
Teams are not calling Belichick because the argument of who is the source of the New England Patriots success during the Tom Brady Era and years has been answered over the last 2-3 seasons since Tom Brady left New England. If Belichick would have retired or sought to move to another team let's say, 2 years ago, his marketing value would have been exponentially higher at that time than at this time. If Belichick could have advanced New England even to the first round of the playoffs after Tom Brady. his market value would have been exponentially higher at this time. Fact is, New England is less than even a shell of themselves since Tom Brady and draw little to no fear in coming opponent the way they used to. These facts and points have legitimately and justly caused owners to ask the question, what are we getting with Belichick, (possibly just a high cost disciplinarian average coach whose ego wants to run most of everything?) or are we getting a 🏆 winner no matter the circumstances in our organization?..AMEN. .SELAH!
Bravo you nailed it. When Brady left Belichick was still working as a CEO at Blockbusters video where the stock and value was an alltime high. He had no idea Blue Ray was right around the corner. He should have dumped and run the Patriots stock sat on a beach for a few months and taken over another company a couple of years later. Now he's worth nothing
The trend is for Offensive head coaches and BB is little more than a defensive coordinator so the owners are moving on. BB won't get you where you need to go without a QB.
The game has changed and Belechick hasn't changed with it.
Thank you
If he could only become Blk.
the person above me is a weird racist troll ignore them so this comment section remains respectful
The best was when Bill stopped coaching against the eagles to let Brady win it on his own lol! Pulling Butler right before the game started was never talked about enough.
1 eagles wideout scored that game, Jeffery. Multiple rushing TDs, Philly Special, Ertz. Where exactly was the falling off Butler making a play😂What did he do in the league since that game? He was vumnerable but the average goofy fan didnt see it before that game.
If butler made 1 stop on any 3rd down in that game the patriots win that Super Bowl. There is no defense for Bill benching our #1 corner because they got into an argument. Cya bill, guy is a dipshit. Drafting Brady is the only thing he’s ever done in this league.
100% agree. With Brady Beligod Without Brady Belifraud. @@vVvDepredation
@@vVvDepredationas an eagles fan finding out that bill was benching his starting corner for unknown reasons was crazy to me, like I get it if you do it during the middle of the season or something but this is the bowl 😂 imo I don’t think he took the eagles seriously, I think he saw them as a Cinderella story that he was primed to take down, what he didn’t expect was nick Foles turning into John elway for 4 quarters
@@tylerfrancis2186Butler was complete trash after that.
It is kind of funny to see how people see Andy Reid now (deservingly so) when he used to be known as that coach that couldn’t get over the hump and we all thought he’d fade away with the Jim Moras and Jeff Fishers of the world
Coaches are generally overrated. I am not saying he is not a good coach but having Mohames makes it much easier. Same with Bill and Brady.
nobody who knows anything about football ever thought that
Great point. I forgot about how he was talked about in Philadelphia.
@@mtadams2009 Yea feel like coaches take a lot of credit for the players and team success.
Love to see Reid finally getting his shine, what he did in the past with mediocre to decent QBs was impressive. Add in his eye for talent (ie trading up for Mahommes) and he’s a great one.
Noone said anything at the time to support Tom. Now after he won the SB and made it clear who was the main engine behind the New England dynasty people like Shannon and Stephen A try to get on the Brady train.
They finally saw what we all been seeing. The Goat is the reason why a lot of people were eating.
No one said anything at the time? Everybody knew Brady had to move on from Belicheat, because he’d been trying to push him out the door for years. People knew he still had it, that’s why teams were falling over themselves to sign him
No one knows. I've heard other reports that he's turned down other teams because they couldn't meet his demands. Also realistically he's only going to be coaching another 3-5 years, most teams would want to sign someone who could be there long-term
Suuuuurrrrrrreeeee
@@RobDaGd1😂 right
Tom Brady leaves and wins at Tampa, and patriots fell from grace hard, Bill is in no place to demand anything lol.
If this demands are so high that no team is going to trust him, than it's worst than we thought.
All fools. There are only super small % of teams who keep their HCs. Now a days most coaches only last 2-4 years anyway
I’ve seen this headline Atleast 6 times in the last 3 months from the same show and from the same mouthpiece 😂we get it man !
1:15 Mad Dog looking like them edibles are kicking in hella fast‼️😆🤣😂
Remember "half a gummy"😂

Imo, Brady succeeded inspite of Belichek. Brady was a coach in that offense.
If Robert Kraft gave up on Belichick, that should warn everyone that he aint all that
Mike Lombardi says this weeks ago, nobody wants accountability, no one wants to be coached hard, everyone wants to be champions, but fery few do what is needed. That is the reason why so many teams are and will be mediocre, and it's not even about the owners, it's about the executives, there is a rumor that says that for Arthur Blank the job belongs to Belichick if he wants
You need to take a few more English classes😂😭
don´t care@@zackhicks5320
I feel like Detroits coach is a good example of a new and coach who holds his team accountable. Bill is a bit of dinosaur.
Yarn
Bill coaches hard but he also doesnt want the responsibility for the losses. His ego is too large for being below .500 without Brady. Andy Reid is a better coach than Bill because he is willing to take input from others. Bill just wants yes men around him from the players to the coaching staff.
Without Tom his record is horrid.
Indeed it is. I think if he would have left NE the same time as Tom it would have been relatively easy for him to go elsewhere. Now with the last 4 years under his belt the proof is in the pudding. Very hard for him to defend his performance when Tom is not in the equation.
Yeah bill is not looked at because he can’t do what Mike T can get bad tallent and keep them .500 or better we went with a dud and two mid majors at QB and basically went to the playoffs that’s two years removed from Ben that tells you a lot right there . Mac Jones was not set up to even do good because of bill . Bad drafts by bill will do that for u . Yet my coach gets criticized more than tea in China 🇨🇳 and yet he still has less tallent and still somehow is in the mix that’s why if Mike Tomlin and Bill belecheck was on the market they not gonna take bill before Mike Tomlin I’m telling you this because it’s true .
If you could get him interested he’d be the best DC out there.
The havoc his defense would bring, oh boy😮😮😮
He’s 71. Why does he want to work? 😂
If you get to sit there be on TV, tell other men what to do, get paid millions and just talk, wouldn't you do the same
The duo of Belichick & Brady were responsible for the 19-year domination of the Patriots. But it's quite clear to me that alone Belichick could never establish a winning season with any team as HC until Tom Brady came into his life. Accidentally even. And since Belichick likes control over team management and player choice, at this point in time I believe no team will take the risk in hiring him.
Could Brady? People quickly cite Tampa. That team was struggling at 7-5 off 2 consecutive losses going into bye week and month of December. Then their defense got hot making game very difficult for Brees, Rogers on the road in playoffs and finally Mahomes at home in SB. What other D has shutdown Mahomes and KC offense for 4 quarters in a meaningful game? Nothing against the great Tom Brady but great D and good offense enabled that Tampa SB run. Also, Belichick was instrumental as DC in 2 Giants SB wins. The 2nd w/“two pair” as LT likes to point out. In fact, the Giants D carried Belichick off the field after that win. Do you people ever think maybe Tom Brady’s incredible success had something to do w/playing for Belichick and the NE organization? Simply time for Belichick to retire after long and legendary career as Super Bowl champion coach.
@@mike2565 LOL! Many teams won SB's with great defenses, what's your point? DC doesn't count as HC, so don't know why you even brought the Giants up. Belichick went 84-112-1 (subject to change) as HC without Brady. As it stands now, the majority of football fans believe (rightfully so IMO) Brady is more responsible for those 6 Chips, than Belichick is.
At the time Brady left New England, I was hesitant to say who was more responsible for the Pat's success between Belichick & Brady. I was giving Belichick the benefit of doubt, despite me knowing his sub .500 record as HC prior to Brady. Even totally excluding what Brady did in Tampa... the disaster that Belichick has looked like since Brady left, really seems to clear up who was primarily the one responsible for the Pat's success.
@@_MjG_How kind and considerate of you giving Bill Belichick the benefit of the doubt. But, now you and so many others are sure Belichick would be a losing head coach if it were not for one player (as great as he truly has been). Though I’ve been a NFL fan for over 50 years, I’m nothing but a fool to still believe Bill Belichick is a legendary pro football coach, including head coach, in this league.
@@mike2565 Perhaps if Belichick would've been willing to check his ego & not insist on being GM, as well as not micromanaging all his coaches & just stuck to his duties as a HC, then he would've got better results when Brady left, along with all the accolades by others, that you feel he deserves.
Everyone knows it was TB12 who carried the team.
When you had total control of a team you force out Tom Brady and the losing continue to get worse every year Bill's record speak for itself
Stephen A., Skip and Shannon discussed this exact story approximately 2 years ago about the dynamic between, Bellichek, Brady and Kraft...
Didn't one of brady's past teammates say in an interview "we work for belichick but we play for tom"?
That was Amendola, a Brady boy.
@@zechariahcameron3645 Yeah but what he said means a lot and it says a lot about tom brady as a leader with his teammates.
I’m honestly surprised more NFC teams aren’t interested. This era of the NFC is NOT very good at all. The last 2 QB’s are Goff and Purdy lol Bill, with the right roster, would dominate the entire conference.
I love how even in a segment about how outdated Bill is, Stephen A still finds a way to drag the cowboys lol
Stephen A rides the Cowboys nuts.
That was some good points by all three guys
Bill thinks his resume will have teams ringing his phone off the hook😂
He didn't do anything before Brady. He didn't do anything after Brady. Bill never did anything. He could barely talk.
Teams on the cusp of winning and particularly have the offense ready to win (Bengals, Bills, Chargers) should really think about Belichick coming and taking them over the hump. Otherwise they will all be second fiddle to KC for the next how many years
Very good points Stephen A.
I'd like to see him on another team. He's not dumb. He knows a tweek or two is needed from the post Brady New England version of himself. It's very telling Jerry kept McCarthy when he could have stabbed Belichick.
This is the exact same situation that everyone was discussing when Tom left New England. They questioned why more teams didn't want him, maybe he is washed, blah blah blah. I guarantee Bill will have instant success wherever he goes and all the teams sitting on their hands will regret it.
So, where was this instant success the past two seasons

Your thoughts are based on nothing
No one thought the head coach deserved all the credit til Brady haters invented it saying it’s all Bill and the Patriots way system QB
I call cap, when Brady was a free agent only 2 teams had interest, doesn't mean the league was right. 49ers could have had a chip if they signed him.
Age is different for a player than a coach though. Who wanted a 43 year old QB. The next oldest QB (besides Brady) to win a SB was 39. It will be a while before a QB older than Stafford (34 at the time) wins the SB. If Stafford doesn't win another one, then realistically only Wilson could win one in the next three years to pass Stafford.
This man said Mac Jones was once an all pro 🤦🏽♂️
I completely agree with Smith. He makes all the obvious points. Bill hasn’t done squat as a HC without Brady. Defensively he’s a genius and has shut down some of the greatest offenses. Kraft and him didn’t “mutually part ways” he was fired for being terrible the last 5 years
You realize brady wasnt some golden child prodigy right?? Backup his whole life. Brady would have never won more than 3 without bill and the pats. Send him to the browns draft day and hes another qb that is on the list of qbs who never worked out.

It's worth a reminder that there was surprisingly little interest in Brady when he left NE and that worked out pretty well. I do think Bill is extremely motivated to do what Brady did and win without him. But I agree, he has to adapt or face extinction. If he brings in McDaniels as OC, and obviously the right QB, it could work.

Brady was the main reason why NE won 6 SBs and uncle Bill happened to be there along for the ride.
Brady said himself “anyone in my position would win” bill made brady. Brady the goat game manager.
Show proof of that quote@@Lrod0323
@@Lrod0323 Ya sure he said that you idiot > Belichick without Brady - *.437 Winning%* in 140 career coaching games without Brady. A grand total of 1 playoff win (Wild Card) in 10 full coaching seasons without Brady .. Now that is what's called damning numbers
Bill would be badass in Dallas!! Dallas would win more playoff games for sure
1:55, 💯Bob Kraft will never forgive Belichick for pushing out Tom Brady. Kraft has told people that's the worst decision of his life! Kraft and Brady BOTH wanted to make another Super Bowl run in 2020 together. Belichick did not and he was wrong💯
I don’t want to hear about the defensive super bowls rings he’s won. Those 6 he has as a coach were all because of BRADY.
I think what’s happened is, teams are sitting down with Bill and at the end of the interview they realize it was all Brady. In the last 20 years, most of his coordinators have failed as HCs and Belichick himself has failed as a HC without Brady, outside of one winning season with Matt Cassel.
Only a fanatic of Brady would try to discredit everyone not named Brady.
But he’s not even getting interviews outside of Atlanta so how are they sitting down with him and realising that when he can’t even get a call?
@@rtdsbg1 the things I mentioned, are they just crazy coincidences? Tampa hadn’t sniffed a SB since 2002, Brady shows up & they get a trophy year 1. Come on now. It’s hard to ignore these things
@@rtdsbg1 *.437 Winning%* in 140 career coaching games without Brady. A grand total of 1 playoff win (Wild Card) in 10 full coaching seasons without Brady .. Now that is what's called damning numbers
Try and get around those numbers fool
I'll wait
If Brady had never played for Bill, Bill would’ve never won a Championship. Period.
Replacing a head coach is a big decision, usually involves a General Manager etc
People must’ve forgot Brady last year in NE, his last throw as a Patriot was a int to the house.
Must of forgot NE without Brady or ignore Bills record before and after Brady, losing coach.
He played with no offensive weapons. Next year he won it all
Who were his receivers in that game?
Julian Edelman, N'Keal Harry, Mohamed Sanu, and Phillip Dorsett. They were either old/worn down or disappeared after that year.
And then proceeded to destroy teams on his way to a Super Bowl the next year with a completely new team and culture lol
Low brain cell like u and belifraud thought brady was finished instead of recognize u cant draft shi on offense
Teams not calling Bellichick because they know in reality he's an average head coach without cheating and Brady. Plus he can't scout to save his life.
SAS suit is fire bro
More proof why he is perfect match for a NFL teams who wants to win a sb without a star QB. Perfect
Because bill isn't as extraordinary as a coach as everyone seems to think. Get real people. Probably will still get a job, doesn't change what I just said.
He’s over 70 years old. I don’t know what he expected, he should have retired from New England with dignity instead of going down sad and pathetic.
Guys like Bill love to be cold and cruel with cutting loose players, playing the “it’s just business” and “we just want to win” thing when they’re the ones on that side of the table. They never think about the day when they’ll have to sit on the opposite side of the table and get told it’s done you’re done get out.
Going to Atlanta would be Bills best landing spot anyway. It's by far the weakest divison in football. Easily winnable for Bill.
He should take it, and he can probably get back to the playoffs relatively easy.
Tom Brady made Bill Belichick
This story will live forever as proof that this is a QB game. Very rarely does the best QB lose.
Belichick and Jerry Jones would not coexist. Jerry and Bill both know this.
If BB is interviewing just to be a coach, then I'm surprised more teams aren't talking to him.
If he's interviewing for coach/GM, that's different. Not many teams want that and his record in the GM department hasn't been stellar lately.
Most decorated and the best are two different things
Time for pop to hang it up it’s been a awesome coaching career
I would love to hear other's opinions on this. Do we devalue Super Bowl rings for coaches when they are Offensive or Defensive Coordinators? I ask because Bill won two Super Bowls as the DC for the Giants, which gives him 8 rings!! Thoughts?
Belichick without Brady is just an average coach! The NFL is finally finding that out. He'll find another gig somewhere.
Issue is those same teams will prob be looking for other head coaches in a year or 2
Bill is a sub .500 coach without Brady. Five years in Cleveland, one winning season. Three years NE without Brady, one winning season. Maybe an average coach, with a career covered by the GOAT quarterback!
*Him lettin Brady walk is Dumb, Inexcusable & Pure Ego. And on top of Brady a Championship again for another Organization - makes it 10X worse! Don’t let this guy be your coach and GM - He doesn’t deserve it. Kraft had to return the Favor... Go Win a Chip for another Organization & we’ll see who’s who & what’s what.*
These new players don't want to hear from Bill.
Leading & managing men is a big weakness Bill has & past players played hard for tom brady.
Remember when people were saying teams are going to be lining up to interview Belichick for the head coaching job and he will take anyone to a SB?? I think what happened is everyone took a look at that atrocious coaching record Belichick has without Brady and came to their senses. There is a job opening for Bill as a hot dog vender at Foxborough stadium though
Belifraud without #12
Your 100 percent tight trev. I keep telling people this guy was never a good coach. He has a losing record without Tom brady. Owners are not stupid. This is the reason there billionaires. Only the media hype this guy up calling him the goat. 😂😂😂😂
@@KrishnaSingh-ow1ie Exactly right Dude
Yeah, Okay cause no other hall of fame coach was a merchant of their Quarterback, don't ever talk about sports again without Mcnabb and Mahomes Andy Reid would've been out of the league years ago..
Can't forget Jimmy Johnson with Landry's team being served to him on a silver platter, or Don Shula with Marino for many years, how about Bill Walsh with Montana
Oh, wait let's not forget Tony Dungy who had Peyton Manning.
Most Coaches no matter how great they were couldn't win with Bailey Zappe or Mac Jones Belichick will always be a great coach and terrible GM morons can't tell between the two.
@@thegreatid3595 Reid was 12-4 ,12-4 and 10-6 before Mahomes you total idiot
Shula went to three straight SB's and won 3 before Marino and the Dolphins went undefeated in 1972
@@thegreatid3595 Epic Fail on your part you total moron
Not surprised. Brady showed who was really the force of that patriot team and culture and Bill has shown to be horrible in drafts and offense. Why would anyone give him the keys to an entire org after what we’ve seen?
Age plays a big factor .
To have him for only a handful of years then leave is to risky
He wants to be head coach and general manager. That’s why
