Curran: Belichick's exit raises questions about Pats' power dynamics

A new era will begin in New England this year, but as Tom E. Curran writes, there’s still plenty left to untangle from Bill Belichick’s 24-year Patriots tenure.

Relative to those instances, here’s what I learned: After 2022, Belichick’s preference was to continue with Matt Patricia as offensive coordinator. That was overruled. Robert Kraft wanted an experienced offensive coordinator installed. Belichick submitted a list of potential coordinators. Ownership approved them. O’Brien was on the list. Belichick pursued O’Brien. O’Brien didn’t interact with ownership during that period.
As for Jones, ownership definitely preferred to see how he performed with O’Brien. But no trade proposal surfaced in the offseason that ownership vetoed. At the trade deadline, with quarterback injuries sweeping the league, the possibility was again broached and it was OK’d, though nothing materialized.

Wickersham’s article noted Mayo was seen swinging a baseball bat at defensive meetings. Come to find out it was a mini souvenir bat and that -- in these never-ending meetings -- all manner of balls and fidget toys would at times appear.

just really sad and disapponting that the whole ownership and even seems mayo are turning on their former coach.

The article is quite a downer. The fact is though that the young guys on the team, the guys on rookie contracts, as a group are one of the least talented in the league. The Patriots are long overdue to hit it out of the park in the draft. You gotta look at the draft to see where the team is going, cause the current group is truly a reflection of their 4-13 record.
