I'll just listen. I haven't been right about coaches since Charlie and Romeo left.

If memory serves, Reiss was pretty accurate with the McDaniels, Mangini and subsequent Pees bumps.

I think he is touting Patricia as the "DC In Waiting" and assumes that O'Brien is here to stay.

Tom Brady indicated that his accuracy was off earlier this season because his throwing mechanics were not right. I think Tom's accuracy remained off throughout the season. Assuming it is just the mechanics, I would have thought good QB's coach would have fixed this problem.

Tom's got a well established relationship with a throwing mechanics coach out in California. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Tom rarely talks to Patriots QB coaches about mechanics.

I thought Brady's accuracy got better as the year went on. And even if not, his mechanics were likely WAY off due to subconscious compensations made for his rebuilt knee. Not always something that a QB coach can fix easily.

Even though I wasn't a big fan of O'Brien's play calling last season, I hope he isn't leaving. I think an offseason of work put in under Belichick will do him justice. He reminds me much of McKid in 2005, though McDaniels obviously didn't call the same draw play to Faulk 25 times a game. Bottom line, if O'Brien leaves then we're likely looking at the same struggles in the playcalling department next year as his replacement will most likely be a rookie as well.

Word is the chemistry with O'brien and Brady is not the best

.. for that reason alone perhaps it's best he moves on.

Also ... I think O'Shea should get the gig ... he has lots of potential.

I hear he calls a complex style game.
