Bill’s first offer…

[Clonamery]

He is guessing too

Do you really think there are better headcoaching gigs next year than the chargers and hawks this year? Those teams did not even consider bb on their top Tier list of candidates. Oh, well. He was never going West.

Do you think a over 70 year old HC can wait a year and sit? Yes.

Do you think next year more teams will be interested in him? Then pls explain why. Yes, because the NFL churns coaches and suits out. See Patriots new execs and coaching staff.

Bill does not work well with younger players anymore....it's age related. Next year would be more of the same. He's done.

OK. Those are hard facts. Thank you.

 

[Clonamery]

Which very likely did not happen.

You hate BB. That is the limit of your knowledge subject. Thank you.

It's possible that Bill withdrew his application. Falcons interviewed 12 candidates. Bill was the very first one. He was also the first to have a 2nd interview. Bill clearly was interested in the position, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the 2nd interview. By all accounts, Bill was the front runner, with several reporters stating the job was his. Then, after Bill's 2nd interview, the Falcons conducted 1st & 2nd interviews with at least 7 candidates. At that point, it's possible that Bill, seeing the writing on the wall, withdrew.

At the end of the day it doesn't really matter. It's the old: "you can't fire me because I quit" scenario. It's irrelevant. Bill clearly was interested in the job, under his conditions. His conditiins weren't acceptable, so the deal wasn't consummated.

A league executive telling you a fact is not a guess… unless you’re just desperate to say “BB sucks” so you have to lie about it.

 

[Wozzy]

Not sure what that has to do with teams wanting nothing to do with a soon to be 72 year old head coach insisting on full control of football ops who was fired by his team in part for losing seasons in 3 of his last 4 years and cratering to 4-13 last season...

No doubt you’ll play dumb when BB gets a job next year, just like you are now.

Based on your biased BS, Boomer didn’t play for BB. He has no motivation to lie.

You just hate the report because you’re a BB hater.

If no team in the league wants to give a 72 year old coach demanding full control of football ops a HC job right now why would next year be any different at age 73. Don't hold your breath.

@Clonamery I saw the notification of your response to my post but it looks like your post is hidden. Maybe you have me ignored. I saw it when logged out so I'll reply here.

No I don't "hate" BB. Very much the opposite. Believing that his time was up in NE and also being very skeptical that teams after saying no to him once at age 72 will be begging a 73 year old coach wanting full control of football ops to come work for them knowing full well his age and the limited time he would have left in the league... that's not "hate". Sorry.

You pretending to know what team owners will want next season after watching their talented teams fail again is laughable.

Give us the winning lottery numbers for next week while you’re at it.

And you think they believe BB is the answer to their problems? How did that work out the last couple of seasons here?

You go first.

Wait for next year, we’ll have a good laugh at your expense. There’s no need to repeat yourself.

He has all of the answers

My dad is old. He can't juggle as many things at once as he used to. He also doesn't relate well to younger kids these days. I'm still his #1 fan.

From the Athletic.

What Bill Belichick's situation illustrates about the 2024 coaching carousel

With all of the head-coaching seats filled, Belichick is without a job. His predicament resembles Lamar Jackson's situation last offseason.

theathletic.com

"A similar situation unfolded with Belichick and the eight teams looking for new coaches this offseason. Those teams knew Belichick was more qualified than other candidates. They were not interested in the package that went along with hiring him: handing over full control of football operations."

“If I were an owner, I would interview Bill for two days, six hours per day, just to learn football,” an exec from another team said. “And the whole time, I’m thinking, ‘Do I want to change my structure?'”

"The way things played out, the Falcons were not interested enough in Belichick to risk losing Raheem Morris as an alternative, so they hired Morris before he was scheduled to meet with the Seattle Seahawks."

"This wound up being a rough hiring cycle for coaches with reputations for having stronger personalities and/or being heavy-handed in their dealings with others. Belichick, Mike Vrabel, Brian Flores and Eric Bieniemy missed out."

"This isn’t necessarily good or bad. It’s just notable that ownership generally deferred to front offices by hiring younger, less empowered coaches."

this is a quite reasonable take. is this all that was said about it? i don't have a subscription. i never considered the "al davis special" aspect. davis was notorious for bringing in guys he wasn't going to hire just so he could learn info.

He's a good guy. We had Patriots season tickets as well

I don't know why some are pretending it is fantasy land where a 72 year old is just as equipped to do a job as he was when he was 52. I don't know if some of the older folks on here don't want to admit it but being 72 certainly isn't helping Bill's case.
