PATRIOTS NEWS Mayo negotiations + OC interviews next week

[Love The Drake]

Leftwich would be an interesting guy to interview. His arrow was pointing up before this year.

No thank you.
Brady ran that whole offense.
I haven’t been impressed with any of the play or play concepts.
It’s just TB throwing to 2 beasts.
3 when they had Gronk.

 

[Kdo5]

Have you seen our TEs during the past FOUR years?

I agree about Caley. He has been coaching a unit that has done pretty poorly for several years and the stench of Patricia is hard to get off for any offensive coach this past season, fair or not.

I’ll take Mr. Outside Hire.

 

[Sciz]

It sure looks like O’Brien. This is how things look with the rules in place now. First you interview the top internal candidate that you’re not giving the job to, then the interviews that you’re required by rule to do, and then you make it known that you want an interview with who you expected to hire all along.

FYI - Alabama fans are rooting for O'Brien to take a hike as their offense has dropped off in points since he's been there. Him coming back would be such a lazy hire by Bill. During his two years and one year named OC in NE, he had Tom Brady in God mode with a really good O-line, Gronk, AH, Welker, Branch coming back and competent-not great RB's.

If you are expecting him to duplicate this coming back...then you are in for a rude awakening.

They went from Devonta Smith, Jaylin Waddle, Jameson Williams, Metchie, Slade Bolden to ... ? Jermaine Burton.

Big talent drain down there.

And when all those players left, they returned to being the Alabama of pre-Tua and pre-Mac. Same yardage last year as they had in 2017 and 2016.

..while sending congrats to the wrong guy just to make it interesting (and stick it to the clown)..

 

[Love The Drake]

I’d be ok with Obrein if we bite at least 3 new offensive coaches with him.
Make McCardell passing game coordinator, marrone run game coordinator. And you think Klemm has value bring him along too.

But I would like more new blood than that.
But anything is better then Patricia.

 

[cmasspatsfan]

Please don't say that. That would make his decision even worse.

Look at the evidence, he didn't want to hire someone that would be gone in a year. I think BOB's the guy unless he had someone else in mind that wasn't available until this year.

 

[Brick27]

Would love to be a fly on the wall to see the Pats interview process and Bill’s approach in particular.

We hear stories of how he’s been known to rough up footballs in practice to be wet and muddy so players have to acclimate to less than ideal conditions. I’d like to think he’s in there giving coaching candidates a dried out marker on its last legs and having them go through plays and diagrams on the whiteboard until there’s nothing left. You know, just to see how they respond to the adversity and if they can adapt.

 

[patfanken]

I think Mayo already has been given the successor offer. Why else would he have canceled a HC interview?

He didn't cancel a HC job. Cleveland was for the DC job

 

[PWRxWLF]

HC interview was with the Panthers.

 

[RIpats88]

I think ultimately it will be O'Brien. But the caley thing is interesting to me.

1. What has he shown the command these OC interviews? Tight ends have been a disaster since gronk left.

2. If he really is that good and sought after and some offensive guru why did Bill hire Patricia and Judge instead of the answer was on the team already? Would seem like a lost year for nothing

Smart move. Unstable team.

What's the holdup? This team's coaching staff for next year needs to be settled sooner rather than later.

I kind of like this approach...

Especially since the Injury report guidelines got heightened years ago. BB started putting players on the list for having bad breath. He will play the Rooney Rule by dotting all the I’s and crossing all the T’s.

 

[Steve102]

Like many of you, I think it's BoB and has been for a year. Fat Matt and Judge were placeholders, and chitty ones at that. So the questions I have are: What carrot plan did they sell Mayo? What happens to him if BoB indeed ascends to the HC role when Bill goes.

I was just going to say this. Even if they had a wink and a handshake deal with BoB a year ago, they will go thru the theatrics of the interviews and the Rooney Rule, all the while leaking chit to the press to make them partners in the process of making sure the whole world knows they are following the league guidelines to a T.

Edit: I am intrigued with McArdell. I'd like to know how that goes.

I like the player and the idea that young players can probably relate more to him.
I don’t have any insight into this but how much of a rising star is he. Does he have that Offensive mastermind quality or is he just someone that can run a steady Offensive system now. Or is he still a few years away from that?

 

[archstanton543]

What happens to him if BoB indeed ascends to the HC role when Bill goes.

I'm hoping a Kirk vs. Spock duel to the death.

With the music.
