Why would anybody want Belichick fired in favor of BOB?

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

I genuinely do not understand. I've seen a few people here say this. Yeah, I admit that Belichick needs to win a playoff game again sooner or later but BOB is not going to bring us more success with this team than him.

If we ever get rid of BB, it should be in favor of a younger mind. Not BOB.

There are some folks who just hate Bill. No telling why. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t do what they think he should do, yet he is commonly acknowledged as the GOAT HC despite their disagreements with his decisions.

That's a good point...younger with new ideas. My concern would be similar to what happens with all the younger coaches that have left to become HC's elsewhere and failed. They try to channel Bill but they fail because they don't have the same respect and knowledge..."They ain't Bill". IMO BOB might have more success because he's had success at times as an HC.

 

[Sciz]

Would O’Brien even be a candidate? I assume Mayo is gone the instant the Pats HC job goes to anybody but him, so it sure seems like he’s the next HC.

 

[TheRainMaker]

I'm not sure who on here wants BOB, but I'm in the camp that it's time to go younger and have some fresh ideas on offense, defense and to build the team. I'd keep Bill If he gives up some power at GM. He was better when Pioli was around as they were Co-GM's. You know Floyd Reese had some input when he was here as well. This team just lacks home grown star type talent. He also needs a better coaching staff. This staff which has nepotism and big ego's are far inferior to when Bill first came to NE.

 

[Dingleberry]

Has anyone really expressed a desire for BoB to be the coach?

I think some people are ready to toss the GOAT into the garbage bin, but surly not in favor of BoB.

Mike Martz says “Hi.”

Norv Turner would have said it but he’s kind of a quiet guy.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Mike Martz says “Hi.”

Awesome offensive mind, but was extremely stubborn and wouldn't adjust to the defenses' counters. And the front office destroyed that team.

 

[203Pat]

Yes.

 

[Dr. Mind Flayer]

I think it's Jerod Mayo that's waiting in the wings to become the new HC

Is that a straw man or is there someone actually in favor of that?

 

[Wozzy]

Who said that?

And why, when we currently have both?

 

[Ghost of Ben Dreith]

Both SB's against the Rams were won by BB. This is not to take away from the DC's at all....but you know the defensive game plan was agreed to by BB.

Yeah...I believe BB cost them the win against Philly in Minnesota...even if it was a Patricia recommendation, the decision to sit Butler rests with BB.

Regardless of the imperfections of the man, IMHO we have at least 1 SB less total without BB and realistically.....we probably have zero SB wins without him. He built some awesome teams.

I don't believe BB is going anywhere until he is ready.

What has Mayo done? Nothing and would likely fall flat.

Would you rather they recycle some old coach?

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Mayo is a leader of men

Mayo is a leader of a group of earth people who choose to use to identify as "men" although that may not derive from each of his/her/their/its birth gender.

(Fixed it for you, you ignoramus)

 

[Ivan]

Kraft cited Mayo by name, but added that they have a number of good candidates on their staff. He did not cite O’Brien by name, but it’s easy enough to infer that. And yes, there are a number of people here that have expressed their desire to see O’Brien succeed Belichick, but I’m definitely not one of them.

Kraft is clamoring for BoB to be the HC? I didn't know that. He should stick to discussing the fine art of hand jobs at this point.


I never mentioned Mayo. If I am ruler of the world (which I should be), BB can stay until he wants to leave. Then I'd let him name his successor.

Who's saying that?
