I'm happy that Kraft seems to be opening the check book in to fix the coaching staff. Seems like O'Brien, Klemm and Mayo are all getting big dollar value contracts.

I'm also happy, because ownership has now come to the correct conclusion that in the post-Brady era, Bill's way of staff-building - keep the numbers & salaries as small as possible and Never hire anyone who's been exposed to The Outside - is a way no longer worth following.

It is unconscionable that, in a league where player expenditures are capped but those for coaching staff aren't, any General Manager would not INSIST that his Head Coach hire the Best assistants that money can buy... But Brady/Gronk/Edelman/the 3-D Backs & their long-serving OC/QBC, RBC & OLC operated a generally well-oiled offensive machine during the previous decade; and that likely lulled the Krafts into believing Bill's line that, same as QBs, good coaches are good coaches and I/my system can do anything with anybody... Now that all of the above are gone, they realize that No Bill, some QBs are indeed different than others; and good coaches Here do NOT make them good coaches There, if they were ever Good coaches at all......

Breer claims the Patriots really pushed hard to bring him in.

Oh oh, does this mean that Klemm is a "source?" Many believe Caley was a "source," the dirty rat.

More good news. Liking the efforts to fix the offensive staff. Im only concerned that its looking like cam achord will be back for another year of st breakdowns

There were 23 coaches on staff for the Pats last year. There were 25 on staff for the beloved 2021 Super Bowl Champs Tompa Bay Bucs. Sounds like the numbers are pretty much in line.

Probably his agent. I’d lean toward the original OC interview being leaked by the team to Reiss (as opposed to Rapoport reporting McCardell and Josina Anderson reporting Jefferson), but everything since then has been pretty clearly agent driven. Thamel’s tweet announcing the hire mentioned the raise he’s getting in the second sentence, which is the most agent thing ever.

It’s a good warmup for the next month of tweets announcing a player has been cut but is expected to have “significant interest” on the open market.

I'm a bit concerned w/ this hire.

Klemm: 6'3" >280 lbs
Fat Matt: 5'6" >280 lbs
Scar: 5'8" <160 lbs

We know that Trent Brown is scared & motivated by skinny old dudes. We saw how lazy he was with Meatball Matt. Not sure how this huge dude is going to get the best out of our best tackle. Here's hoping it works out.

Is Matt really 5'6"?

OMG, I just checked. Patricia is only 5'6". Mind. Blown.

Edit: He apparently shrunk 5 inches since high school.

Looking at pics of him coaching, I think this is might be accurate, and everyone else is parroting each other. Maybe.




Belichick is listed at 5'11". I dunno. Most importantly, I don't care. It's not a hill I am gonna die on.

I saw that, too. And then I saw this pic with his 5'6" wife. What's happening here?

Easy Belichick caused another stink on this Franchise.
