I like Curren, but I liked him a little better when Kay Adams was on his show.

I do hope he is wrong about Mayo

She looks like a witch with great makeup.

If what Curran is saying is true and the Kraft knew they were moving on from BB back in November, why is it taking so long to finalize their decision? Especially if Mayo is the next coach.

Maybe he wants to be respectful of Belichick and maybe negotiate some graceful exit. There really is no hurry yet as formal interviews can't start until January 22 per Greg Bedard.

Watching videos on YouTube and the Boston media seems pissed off nothing is happening because they were wrong thinking Bill was going to get fired.

There are going to lose it when it's announced he's returning for 2024.

The only thing that could happen is Kraft offers to rip up Bill's contract so he can go where he wants. The problem for Bob is, Bill likes where he is. Bob doesn't want to let go of that $25M.

Curran doubling down that he has more intel than others and the decsion has been made

"Look, if you're among the unwashed masses, you might think Bill has a chance to stay. But I know better than you and I am better than you. Bill is gone." - Curran

He sounds pretty confident it’s a done deal.

Maybe Mayo was the choice before Vrabel became available?

Maybe Mayo was the choice before Vrabel became available?

What a disaster that would be. Maybe Mayo shocks everyone but at Krafts age that would be risky hoping for a quick turn around. He might not have the time for Mayo to screw up until he figures it out. We fans aren't exactly patient either.

Meanwhile Washington is interviewing Slowik.
I wish we had some clarity and as I said weeks ago I want to see Kraft interview a lot of candidates.

Is this standard procedure from Bill?

Bill Belichick gives coaching staff time off as Patriots’ decision looms

All eyes are on the New England Patriots as rumors of a potential split between team owner Robert Kraft and head coach Bill Belichick continue to swirl after a disastrous 4-13 season.

Did he have to say "if you're just some electrician, for example, you might wrongly think he has a shot to stay"? (can't remember exact wording)

Only in-person interviews for coaches currently employed by teams have to wait that long. If a coach is not employed by a team currently (Vrabel) they can interview now. Additionally, some virtual-only interviews are already able to be done for coaches of teams not in the playoffs this weekend. If they are in the playoffs, that holds til next week.

First paragraph is great. Second not so much.

Whatever his recent failings, Belichick is unquestionably one of the best coaches of all time

 

[Give Kraft A Hand]

No.

Worst case is rolling with BOB or Josh McDaniels as the next HC.

Agreed. McDaniels is the worst case scenario. BOB would be fine I guess because at least he had some success in the league. But I'd rather do a clean sweep.

 

[Patriots1993]

Mayo would be a cheap, lazy hire. Unfortunately, this is exactly why Kraft will do it

 

[slash83]

Curran was right about moving on, now will see if he’s right about Mayo.
