You’re right about the media, but I don’t think that would be the reason they fire Bill. I think like most things it would come down to $. If Kraft thinks we are in a rebuild and years away from a SB, why am I paying a coach $20m when I can pay $6m for similar results. The bottom line for Kraft would likely be saving $14m a year for a number of years.Kraft wont need to wonder. They lose the first game next season, the boston media will out in pitchforks. They have been waiting since 20 yrs and tolerating BB's lack of access and friendliness. They got francona fired, epstein fired . Dont think for a second they are salivating at this to get BB fired. That is the boston media. They take special pride in one upmanship vs the teams and players. And BB has defied this for 20 yrs.
Sure. But its hard to find good coaches who can rebuild. There is a reason there are double digit vacancies or close to it every year.You’re right about the media, but I don’t think that would be the reason they fire Bill.

At Bill’s age he probably has about 5 years left. At $20m per that’s $100m they’d be paying him. If they see this team is years away from contending and knowing he isn’t a long term coach anymore why pay that much? It’s business Bill, nothing personal.
I agree, but there’s a lot of factors in play. The main one is how much longer they see Belichick doing it. He’s a great coach, but if it’s a 3 - 4 year rebuild then once they come out of it he’s almost done. So if you’re Kraft do you want to pay that much for him to coach during those rebuilding years? That’s a whole lot of money. It’s going to be interesting to see how it plays out. Maybe Bill gets the rebuild in motion and moves to the front office in a year or 2. I think the key for both will be if we find a QB. The quicker we get the next franchise QB the quicker the rebuild is. But I think it will be tough for Kraft in a few years to continue writing a $20m cheque if we are a middling team with no shot at a SB.Sure. But its hard to find good coaches who can rebuild.

Plus, they never mention it was his head coach who threw Brady under the bus when Deflategate broke with his “you’ll have to talk to Tom about that” comment. Like there could be a scheme to deflate balls without Belichick knowing about it with the control he had over that team.Yeah it’s kinda funny how the people closest to the situation that have the most insight are fine with Kraft and treat him like family members but fans manufactured this big back stabling lol.
Look, BB is no saint. But he took his time , did his research and came back with the mona lisa veto presser. He has let brady train with his buddy next to the stadium with the whole TB12 thing, didnt really take issue with him until it was reported that players started to go there instead of the local trainers(who knows what the truth was). They may not be buddies but they knew how to work together on the football field. If they were really getting personal,it wouldve ended long long ago.Plus, they never mention it was his head coach who threw Brady under the bus when Deflategate broke with his “you’ll have to talk to Tom about that” comment.

And Kraft didn’t back down until months later when the ruling came down and pretty much every analyst already deduced that Kraft as an owner had next zero reprieve or alternatives. Belichick by comparison was the first NE press conference and he said “talk to Tom”.Look, BB is no saint. But he took his time , did his research and came back with the mona lisa veto presser.

And have a team that was worse than the 2019 Patriots?Ugly meaning his son wouldn't be able to return to NE. Kraft's came out after the fact and said they would've matched Tampa's offer, despite the cap "experts" on here claiming it couldn't be done.
Love the list idea. I would also add:
Rex Ryan
John Harbaugh
Peyton Manning
All relatives of Don Shula

Still remember when story 1st broke, you were the 1st to say he was guilty and would be convicted because they had him on video. You were willing to bet on it.Also, Brady Sr doesn't seem to mind that Uncle Bob had his crank polished in Jupiter, Fla and would have been caught if not for his big money legal team.
It's like it never happened and now the video is to be destroyed.
Kraft is a good liar. Your kind of people.Still remember when story 1st broke, you were the 1st to say he was guilty and would be convicted because they had him on video. You were willing to bet on it.
LMAO
But if he won, you'd just say he cheated, so there's that.Kraft is a good liar. Your kind of people.
He should run for office.
Morons ask this question all the time.But if he won, you'd just say he cheated, so there's that.
Why is it that ppl living in the MethWest suffer from alternate realities, where legal elections are stolen and sleeping with your sister is normal?
Manufactured what's the best for the 32, when Brady was being pounded on by all the media, the courts & the league right.Yeah it’s kinda funny how the people closest to the situation that have the most insight are fine with Kraft and treat him like family members but fans manufactured this big back stabling lol.
In yet the people affected treat him like family. Almost like those close to situation don’t see it your wayManufactured what's the best for the 32, when Brady was being pounded on by all the media, the courts & the league right.
He said Bill is on a little bit of a hot seat. Which I think is a little different than saying he's on THE hot seat. One means he's getting some criticism and the other means his job is in jeopardy. I'd say what he says doesn't matter but this might be insight into what Tom is thinking too.
Bill will be able to try and rebuild the team but if that fails and we are no further along in 3 years or so then I think the needle will definitely be moving hard to the latter.
Jeezus Christ...
I will never unsee thisMaybe they can patch things up...
