Thanks for the informative and encouraging read. This hard working guy has a similar analytical approach to BB. If he's creative as well, there's no limit.

I are an engineer and it's nice seeing one of the bro on the Pats.

It is pretty darn admirable that guys like Patricia, who attended one of the top engineering schools in the world and by all accounts had an outstanding career ahead of him gave it up for something he had a deep passion for- regardless of the money.

Useless Info: Mel Kiper has a degree in aeronautical engineering.

I didn't even know RPI had a football team. Sounds like this has been his passion for a long time, good to see he's realizing it.

How long will it take for us to lose this coach?


Other NFL teams love stealing our assistant coaches

Good luck w/ the LB's.

Junior seems to think highly of him. I think Pepper projects as a high floor low ceiling prospect, great DC but not a viable HC, kinda like RAC. This guy potentially has the unlimited ceiling. He's probably replaced Josh on the fast track to HCing. Hopefully it's not quite as fast a track...

Yeah, maybe win 4 superbowls calling our defense and then he can go get a HC gig. Seriously, though, until game time, he's still an unknown commodity.

Good points, Mo.

Do you feel that Belichick could've considered slowing down his track to HC by not naming a true DC? I realize there are more reasons, but this is one of the first things I thought about, when BB said he wasn't going to name a true DC. Why continue to place our best in the limelight for the rest of the league to see?

Any reasoning to my madness?

I think that it's more likely that he can't choose between the two, and doesn't want to risk losing either. Which would explain why he has picked neither.

Worked out real well for NBC.
