Keping Patricia and Judge’s titles non-specific allow the Patriots to receive their labor for a fraction of the cost.

To be clear, it's not that Patricia/Judge are getting paid a fraction of what NFL coaches normally get paid, it's just that their old teams are paying the old contracts out still.

I still think its' the McDaniels protege Nick Caley behind the scenes.

If they aren't grooming him for better things he'll leave.

Yes, but they also have plausible deniability since it's what they've done with their play-callers for many years. That could come up if the Lions try to complain about it similar to Arkansas with Bielema.

Good point it would make that move below pointless.

Report: Patriots blocked tight ends coach Nick Caley from talking to Raiders this offseason

New England lost four offensive assistant coaches to Las Vegas. Caley did not join them.

If the offense goes South there is nobody to blame.

Same with the defense. We all know that Stevie is calling the shots, but there is a shadow of doubt that hes in full control.

Yup, Fat Matt is like the old dude that's collecting SS while bagging at the local grocery store.

I'm sure Bill is throwing him some green balls too.

Yikes, really? The best reason is... truly... xenophobia?

I don't think that's the intent behind BB's decision. What I believe that this does is allow Judge and Patricia to continue to be paid at a HC rate, per their old contracts. Their HC contracts probably have some sort of offset language in the event that they get fired and find a new job with another team (e.g., the guarantees are revoked if they get hired as coordinators or HC for another team).

So in this way, instead of getting paid coordinator rates, both Patricia and Judge are getting paid at HC rates. I think that's a generous move.

Silly Bill, doesn’t he know nothing in this world is free? Whatever money Matt isn’t getting paid, he’ll make up for it during lunch at the facility.

How could any patriot fan be considered a “BB apologist”?
He has brought more success to this franchise than any HC/GM in the history of the sport. What is there to apologize for?

Well they would get paid that amount regardless, it’s just that less comes from the patriots and more from the other team. If BB increased there pay, the pay from the former team would decrease dollar for dollar.

BB apologists regularly criticize moves by the Patriots, regularly pan draft picks and free agent signings.

Anything resembling measured pragmatic Patriot analysis and not hyperbolic BB bashing is considered “apologist” by the nuts from the TB12 echo chamber.

 

[denverpatsfan]

When they lose 20-10 week one can we criticize?

Billy's only cheap with the Johnny Foxboroughs of the team... He's Daddy Warbucks when it comes to his pets whom he "likes"... Heck look at a lazy, lying pile of trash like doGchow for the latest example...
