Assuming Patricia gets a hc gig, would anybody be against Bradley for DC?

This was an Asante Samuel Thread.

Now it was edited to a Gus Bradley thread.

Next edit: Jacoby Brisset QB of the future?
 
In any case, i think the Pats are firm believers of growing from within. If Matt P leaves next year (and he is building a HECK of a case those last weeks) Brian Flores would be my guess for next DC.
 
If I am Matt Patricia. I stay put.
He is not ready. I don't think there's any fantastic job out there for him. It will be one of those 2 year gigs that sets him back.

Why is he not ready?

Because his defenses sucks just look at the yardage stats.. and the lack of big highlight plays.. and we are always in zone.. and he let two superstars in Jones and Collins go.. and the team clearly hates him..

Did I miss any other stupidity that floats around ?

I hope he sticks around for 1-2 more years.. also there is no way we will hire from the outside..

I don't think he's ready. I think there's just a seasoning process that goes on that isn't quite complete with him.

Having said that, I think sometimes guys need to get that first head-coaching job for a couple years, it doesn't go so well, then they go back to a coordinator gig, and then their second HC job is when they put it all together.
 
Patricia might not want a head coaching job or just might not be suited for one. Not all competent coordinators are cut out to be head coaches.

Are you serious. I thought that their defense would be top3, with talent that he has.
He is product of Seattle players, Earl Thomas to be exact. So as a coach he sucks, period.
 
Bill isn't bringing outside guys in to run his defense unless they have coached here before.
Boyer or Flores are more likely candidates, in a few years.................

I think that is still speculation. For all we know BB may be mentoring him as a HC every day - just like he did with Josh in 2008 - who was a train wreck. He has even endorsed him as a bonafide HC candidate. I don't think he would do that with someone that hasn't done what he needed to do to be prepared for the role.

With that said - and to your point the only way to truly know is to get the job and see what happens. Sometimes mistakes are the best way to learn.

Personally, I think the main reason these coaches fail is because their teams suck

Ya, I am pretty sure LB coach Brian Flores is being groomed to be the next DC.

Pepper Johnson could be interested in coming back to be the DC too. Wasn't it between him and Patricia back in the day? Eventually left to get a shot at DC elsewhere.
 
I doubt Patricia leaves this offseason. I think the most likely scenario is that Caserio gets offered A GM job and then picks MacDaniels as the head coach. Chicago would be the front runner imo as they wouldn't go to Indy or Jacksonville.

I think Pepper left because he had maxed out under Belichick and wasn't going to get the DC position.
