How many more years do you see BB coaching? For example, would he stay on a year or two after Brady leaves/ retires to help groom the new QB? Factors such as family, health, drive will likely play a role. I'm assuming Kraft would never ever consider firing him, thus why I worded question this way.
Bill likes coaching. And, it's nice to come in to work each day and not have Parcells leering and storming around bullying everyone in sight including you. He wanted to come here, and he's been happy here. I think his least favorite part of the job is pressers.
The jury is 100% out as to what if anything Kraft has learned, or what Kraft will do. All you have to do is look at what the players are wearing every game to see that the answer is, nothing.
The best that could happen, when Bill retires, which could be several years away, is that we retain most or all of his staff. As to who'll lead them, the more input Belichick has in the decision, the better. I am confident that nobody here in Patriots country desires an operation resembling the vast majority in the NFL: a bunch of ignorant, arrogant dunderheads with an attention span of zero.
Like all of us, Red finally got old. The Pitino neutron bomb was endorsed by him I think, but it's hard to blame him for it. He gave us all he had, while he could. I can state emphatically that right here, locally where he held court for generations, almost nothing has been learned or implemented from Red by local pro teams. I mean, it's right there in front of you. Don't kid yourself; Red would have been successful no matter what era he lived in. But it's true, the stupider these pro leagues are today, the easier it will be to build and maintain a new dynasty.
