The Bill megathread (HC at UNC, girlfriend, etc.)

If they lose this season and it's a circus, it will be over. The media has their red meat and ammunition to go all in on him if they don't perform.

He put himself in a bad position.

The media must be licking its chops (if it had any) because of the possibility of “revenge” against the big bad bill! They’re sensing blood in the water and hoping/praying/sacrificing small animals etc that he lays an egg in NC. I must say though, he really looks ready to die on that hill….er mountain…the man just doesn’t give a **** it seems. Kudos to him for staying pat (pun intended) to the unholy end.
 
All the more reason his time was up in NE. Kraft made the right call.
He replaced him with the wrong guy after some crappy drafts. We were doomed and some of us didn't know it. Plenty of people here did though, but I wasn't one of them.
 
I like the name Billdos to describe his fans but I don't use it because it's disrespectful to Bill and most Pats fans. But it's a real catchy name.
There was a guy everyone called Bildo who played at my local poker house. He played major high stakes and I believe to this day has the biggest money win ever on a live-streamed game of NLHM.

Then he got arrested for misappropriating Covid funds. I guess that's how he got his buy-ins.

Sorry for the tangent but "Bildo" reminded me of him.
 
It was the perfect storm.
A match made in heaven.
An authoritative HC and a great QB with the utmost respect for authority.
It was great while it lasted and it lasted a long time.
If you look at the QBs that won multiple Super Bowls, they had HoF coaches.

If you look at the coaches that won multiple Super Bowls, they had HoF QBs.

The only exception to either criteria is Tom Coughlin/Eli (which pains me to state this but its a matter of fact).

(Reid and Mahomes are getting into the HoF)

To your point, there is only one other coach/QB that comes close to BB/TB and it's Noll/Bradshaw and they were basically lapped.

Joe Gibbs won three Super Bowls with a different quarterback each time and none are in Hall of Fame - and never will be.

Yep, that's the thing. There have been some great QB/HC runs, but nothing close to the 20 year run Tom and Bill had.

Tbf that's a little different. Theismann was an MVP and a SB winner. Had he not got injured, that run in Washington would have got him there.
 
On the flip side has a HOF bound coach ever fallen off without their star QB the way Bill did after Brady left? I can't think of any.
Has a HoF QB ever got coached by a HoF coach for 20 years?
 
One time. The HOF coach will be in the HOF because of the HOF QB. Still not an answer to my question tho
Just one time huh that's interesting.

Knoll or Laundry didn't do so well at the end of their runs just to name a few.
