BB's NYT editorial from 13 years ago... 2003...

[oldrover]

This after he won the SB a year before, and then didn't make the playoffs.

O.K., Champ, Now Comes the Hard Part

I guess he internalized his own advice to that year's Super Bowl coaches... because he's only missed the playoffs ONCE since then.










ONCE.

I am on the "BB is the reason" train. Not to dismiss the importance of Brady, but I lean heavily towards BB as the reason they are so successful.

As long as he's there, he'll keep it going.

It would be interesting to see how BB could do if he was given nothing but street free agents & undrafted choices from the upcoming draft to form a whole new team. My money : if given OTAs, TC, a season, he'd get more at 4 wins. (In the AFCS he'd go 8-8)

I agree. If BB is here after TB, and I believe he will be, I think he'll be successful. I'm not sure he'll be in the AFCCG five years in a row or whatever, but we'll still have a good team. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him win a SB without TB.

Wow! I never saw this! Quite a contrast to the gruff on-to-Cincinnati persona (which I know is a front, just an unexpected surprise for me to see it lowered in this manner). TYVM for posting!
