I hope this day never comes. But watching him today in the presser, he looked drawn, frustrated, and really burned out. I just wonder whether he still has that coaching "fire" in the belly that is needed and that he still wants to put he and his family through it. Recently, we have seen Cowher, Shanahan, Holmgren etc etc step down after burning out. I hope BB is the coach of this team for a long time.....but would not be shocked if he walks away after this year.

I raised that issue in another thread. Suprised I haven't been hammered for it or banned as a troll.

The game seems to have passed him by. The defenses are plain and can't stop anything, not even the run. The offenses are horribly predictable. The raven's MLB said he knew what the pats were running and knew their audibles, whicfh were real and which were fake, just by the formation etc. It's that bad. It's a high school level of sophistication.

Did you listen to him on WEEI last Monday? That did not sound like a guy that is burned out. He was more excited for the playoffs than ever before.

Posts like that are absolutely ridiculous.

More likely he is ready to ***** can half this team; I'm sure Belichick is well aware of players stopping listening to the same old coach but with players moving around so much that's likely kind of moot now. Where do they go from here with regard to totally rebuilding or trying to continue the semi rebuild with Brady getting older, who knows. I don't think Belichick leaves but you never really know.

I had hoped that Belichick becomes VP Operations (Pioli's job) and they hire Shanahan as the next Patriots coach.

IMO, that would be a great combo..

HEY BRO! WHAT UP?

Honestly, I wouldn't mind it. His game plans and personal decisions have been pretty bad after 2007. And no, I'm not really upset about the loss today because I knew it was coming after the poor draft and other off season moves.

It wouldn't shock me. He has to constantly put up with the overbearing media and a spoiled fan base.

HEY BRO! WHAT UP?

I don't think you got the memo, he's the Redskins coach.

Except for the fact that Shanahan already has a job.

I love these obvious one-star extravaganzas.

I've raised the point as well. 10 years is a long time, and even the best tend to burn out. Bill Walsh is a good case in point.

I think BB has to take a hard look at himself and whether he still has that fire in his belly to go through rebuilding this team. As far as I'm concerned, he and Bill Walsh are the 2 really elite coaches I have ever seen, and I would not want to bet against BB if he were committed. But if he decided that he needed a rest, or a break, or a fresh start, I wouldn't be surprised.
