The last thing Belichick needed was another yes man and he had his fill of those.
Mike Lombardi was good for Bill ... unafraid to speak his mind and give other opinions.
So glad we had him and hopefully some of the staff learned from him ... I bet they did.

I really will never understand why this seems to be the consensus of so many pats fans. There was a large group over at boston.com that were so adamant about this with zero factual basis. Who has exactly said this? Was it somebody who was previously with the Pats FO and would actually know this for a fact? Or was it just felger/mazz yapping about something they know nothing about?
Everything that I've heard, from coaches to scouting, is that BB always has an ear open and encourages dialogue among his staff. Just watch Do Your Job. Every coach had something to say about BB encouraging outside the box thinking and people challenging him. I'm sure there have been times where BB might have gone against a recommendation about a player because he liked what he saw from another prospect but the whole notion that he surrounds himself only with "yes men" is one of the most baseless comments I've heard.
If BB wanted Lombardi here -- he'd still be here.
Nothing concerning the football operations of our beloved Patriots happens without his approval. NOTHING.

I'm curious where you get this belief from. First I have never seen anything to suggest that BB would want yes men around and then of all people I find it incredulous to think mike Lombardi would be the guy to challenge that. If anything I would think its the opposite where BB hates yes men and that's exactly what Lombardi turned out to be.The last thing Belichick needed was another yes man and he had his fill of those.

So, if I remove the double negative, are you then stating that Bill surrounds his team with graduates from John Carroll & RPI because they have been tainted by college football factories, whatever that means?...BB does not surround this team with graduates from John Carroll and Renssalaer Polytech because they have not been tainted by College Football Factories.
