On WEEI today Vic Carucci said his sources indicated that BB talked to Weis about returning to the Patriots. But, apparently Kansas City targeted him very early in the process (several weeks ago) and got a deal going quickly. The combination of Pioli's history with Charlie and Haley wanting someone else to handle the play calling led them to make Weis the offer.

I wonder if it came down to money.

well, i'm sure that BB with his usual candor and openness will tell the first person who asks him. So, we'll never know, but I somehow doubt it "came down to money."

My own view is that "you can't go home again" and that fitting Weis and Belichick in the same building might have been a tight squeeze (hold the 'fat Charlie' jokes, please) since Charlie now has his own national reputation, for better or worse, after the exposure at Notre Dame. Sure, there would have been no doubt as to who was in charge, but it might not have been comfortable all the time. (I think that will be a challenge for Haley, BTW, but for different reasons. Let's face it, on name recognition among average fans nationwide, Weis has it all over his new "boss.")

Also, I think Charlie wants to run his own show in two or three years, so he would have had to "leave again" had he come to the Pats since there are no signs that the hooded one is ready to retire.

I think he'd take that as a compliment!

I can't believe Peppers got 13 sacks for the Patriots this year.

Maualuga was a beast as well alongside Mayo, just what we needed.

Oh wait, we're not in Carucci's fantasy world anymore.

As bb would say "His percentage is like a meteorologist"

Might be a better chance for him to parlay this into a head coaching job? If he can turns things around on the offensive side in KC, as opposed to returning to NE, having success and people saying "Yeah, but he did it with Brady, etc"

Just a thought...

This offseason, it's almost like Belichick is saying, "I'm never going to let that happen again."

Bring Back Antowain!

I don't like your sarcasm.

First of all, Peppers had 13.5 sacks for the Patriots. And secondly, Maualuga is still coming to the Patriots in three years as a restricted free agent, that's what he was talking about gosh learn your facts.

Good point. BB had to get out of Parcells shadow and Rac and weiss out of BB's. Sounds right.

I wish we'd raid some teams for some coaching talent, though. I think we've really fallen behind.

C'mon, don't you like the Belichick approach of hiring someone off the street as a coaching assistant and the make them OC after a year as WR coach and a year as QB coach?
