He's also going to 1 year younger than the oldest coach in NFL history next year. So for a guy that's been largely mediocre for 4-5 years, has seemingly lost his ability to coach well disciplined and mistake free teams, has shown weak drafting ability for a decade, and is currently fielding his worst team.... like how much do you want to let past success keep the team paralyzed?We are going to be five years post Brady and we are trending towards being the worst team in the league and not a legitimate contender. We are five weeks into the season and the season is pretty much over.
The “best football mind in America” decided to go into this season with next to no offensive talent and wanted to rely on the defense to win games where they constantly hold teams under 20 points in an offensive focused league. Belichick is the greatest coach of all time IMHO, but he seems to committed to run the team the way he always has even if it means years of mediocrity.
The Patriots were a playoff team in 2020. Missed the playoffs last year. And are now in contention for Caleb Williams this year. Kraft is over 80. He isn’t going to stick with a head coach stuck in 2003 no matter what he did in the past
Is there even a precedence for a 72 year old coach to turn around a half decade slump and return to former glory?
