The guys before were cronies too though. Guys he worked before or out of that John Carroll tree.
oh I already dropped that same comment but didn't stop with McDaniels... Patricia, Crennel, Weiss.... those are the best HCs in the NFL!!
As a head coach for a single game? Probably McDaniels. To build a team and foster a good locker room dynamic for the long term? Morris.
Excellent coaches too.
I was basically out on Bill as soon as he named Patricia the OC. Just an unfathomably arrogant "I'm smarter than everyone else" move that derailed any slim chance Mac Jones ever had to develop as a QB. It still amazes me how many people on here vehemently defended that decision.
Please.....Bill admitted he should have considered that but even then Brady would not have responded well to it and who knows how it could have impacted things.
It wasn't his best move but the way Mac responded derailed his own career and any chance Patricia had to work all on his own.
The 4 of them were each excellent coordinators and poor head coaches. It is 2 entirely different skill sets. I know the truth triggers you but you won't find a single football fan anywhere - including this forum - who disagrees with that statement.
Putting words in my mouth.
Two things can be true. It was a horrible decision to make Patrica the OC and Mac was a bad quarterback. I don’t think there was any chance Patrica would succeed at OC. They also drafted guys to run a scheme that Patricia was supposed to implement so we basically wasted an entire draft class on outside zone/Shanahan offensive players only to scrap it a year later and get nothing out of the class other than Marcus Jones.
Excellent stuff. No need for all this pettiness. I didn't suspect this solves everything but good to see they can still put things aside and do what's right. Balls in Bill's court now obviously to accept it but also to stop with the veiled comments. No one gains anything from any of that ditto for Kraft too if he expects Bill to accept then no more hit squad docs.
The thought was they were implementing those schemes for the benefit of Mac.
So then Bill should have hired Bobby Slowik who understood the offense they were trying to run. Trying to switch offensive schemes with a second year quarterback coached by a defensive coach is mind bogglingly stupid. Kraft is more patient than I am because I would have canned Bill after that season. Bill got a way longer leash than he deserved.
Then if Slowick succeeds he leaves Bill wanted someone else he worked with and trusted more. Wound up being the wrong reasons. but his guys and circle are football guys that have come through for him over and over. Somehow he stayed in his circle and was way outside the box. He made mistakes when he was younger too like trusting someone inside his circle with Fredo.
And that was a big part of why Bill failed post-Brady. He didn't adapt and he didn't bring in any fresh perspectives or ideas. He relied on the same group of people for 20 years and refused to work with anyone else.
