Not so sure about Florio’s take.Florio brought up a fascinating observation on Curran's podcast. He said the Patriots won't have to fire BB if they decide to move on. In fact if that happens and BB wants to keep coaching then they would just have to advertise to teams that Bill is available. Teams who feel they're just a coach away would be interested in bringing him in. He says they would agree to take on that $20M+ and they'd also offer a first rounder plus for BB if he's available. Never thought of it that way.
Would the Patriots trade BB if there was a taker and we were offered a first round pick or more?
BB is 71. How many more years is he gonna coach? And if he does move on to another team he will want to bring his own guys - Patricia, Judge, his kids, etc.. He’ll also likely want to run the ship.
How many teams “that are close” will agree to give up a first rounder, $20m + whatever it takes to buy out their old staff plus hire Bills staff, and give a 71 year old control. I just don’t see it. 5 or 10 years ago for sure, but now?
And who are these teams that are just a coach away? Chargers? The Spanos are cheap. Cowboys? Jerry Jones likes a splash and could afford it, but could those 2 work together? Who else?
