Belichick fires Boyer as DB coach,signs Lou Saban as DB coach and keeps him on until Bill retires,then Saban takes over as HC
I assume you mean Louis "Nick" Saban, not the deceased Lou Saban who used to coach the Bills...
Never understood why a very successful college coach who is deified on their campuses, would want to give up a handsome salary with great perks to go to the NFL.. in most occasions they inherit a mess.
Why move from a job which is demanding, to a job that is exponentially more demanding??.. he is making 4 million a year where he is.
Why not just stay where you are king, instead of going to an organization that is usually in disarray???

While Bill refuses to speak to matter of his future plans with us beyond reiterating annually that he still loves what he is doing, I'm sure he and Kraft have discussed the matter and have an agreement in place that will allow for a smoother transition than most. Kraft will likely get a heads up at the first sign of doubt that he wants to keep going indefinitely.
Initially I felt it would be McDaniel for sure. But the more I think about it, the more I see BB staying long term. As long as he is physically or mentally able, BB will want to coach. He LOVES it. There is no place he'd rather be than at a football practice individually coaching players. There's no burn out for him. He isn't looking forward to some media gig, golf and fishing. He's like Bear Bryant. He'll keep coaching till they force him from the field, and then die within a year.
3. The way I see it, it could be the next HC of the Patriots is some 25 year old unknown kid in the quality control department, getting coffee and picking up prospects from the airport, who in 10-15 years will be ready to take over.
Sorry, but can't see Bill being an assistant to anyone with his ego and after having total control for all these years. And I mean that as a compliment to him.Or, if Urban Meyer settles in long-term at OSU, maybe a 37-year-old college DL coach.
the latter wouldn't surprise me at all.I favor the theory that BB will exit with Brady, but I wonder if BB, especially given his age, would be motivated to prove he can build a Super Bowl winner without Brady.

My belief is 100% yes. I remember in 2008, ater Brady went down, BB was surprisingly upbeat. He knows as well as anyone that his reputation as a coach got a nice bump that year. Belichick's no fool and he knows what he has in Brady, so he's in no rush to see him go. But he also know that winning AB (After Brady) will do wonders for his legacy.
The big question there is timing. My opinion is Brady has five good years left (he takes such great care of his body);; BB is 60 and may or may not have the drive to build a post-Brady winner. But he does have a very young core right now, so, who knows.
