I’ve kinda weaved my way through the finance world for the last 15 years or so. Started as a trader, then went into wealth management, and have been in capital raising for the last 5 years or so. Best of luck to you.Finance...I really hate it. lol
Holy ****, you graduated?Thanks Waxie.....I finally received my masters degree.
Close the thread. He nailed it.After he passes Shula with 49 more wins.
He loves NFL history. Being at the top of that list matters to BB whether he admits to it
You'll know he's about ready to go when he formally names his son the Defensive Coordinator. Because that's the last step in his own dynastic plan before kicking himself up into doing the GM job with a big of Ernie Adams mixed in.I can’t believe he’s almost 70, that makes me feel old as hell. I wonder how much longer he’s going to coach? Nick saban just turned 70 and he’s showing no signs of slowing down. Maybe in the future he will do what the Celtics did. Remain the GM and hire a separate coach. Who knows, maybe he will do it for another 5-7 years.
Did he specifically what the hints were this off-season/TC? Because I believe the FO additions were a big indicator that the transition is in place. Selecting Jones was another one and fast tracking him to the starter.Bedard’s Sunday Column (behind pay wall) was about this issue. Basically, he said he had not seen anything hinting at Belichick’s retirement until this off-season/training camp.
"I'm not going to coach that long, like Marv Levy."I can’t believe he’s almost 70, that makes me feel old as hell. I wonder how much longer he’s going to coach?
Congrats. Good job.Finance...I really hate it. lol
I absolutely buy what Kraft said... BB coaches til he doesn't. End of story.Kraft has said (from 2017) he has an idea of when Bill could move on but basically it’s up to him. I don’t know if I buy that but I don’t think this is his last year with the team even in the half decent chance they miss out on the playoffs again.
Even if that happens I think the team’s competitive window will open in the next year or two and I’d think BB will want to stick around as HC for that. And I think he absolutely wants to pass Shula.
Oh that will be fun. Right now you've already got people feeling like they should be universally acknowledged as being better at being HC than BB, based on how the Pats stank it up with Newton, and the Bucs won the SB with Brady... the "It was all Tom" crew.I was thinking about this the other day. To the horror of some of the people here, I think McDaniels will be the Pat’s next HC. I think it’ll be between 2-5 years when Belichick resigns. I think if he wins another SB, he’ll resign on top.
It's out there and everybody knows it.I absolutely buy what Kraft said... BB coaches til he doesn't. End of story.
And you know he wants to erase Shula. And you know what? I want him to knock Shula off the top of the pile. For purely selfish reasons.
In the sense that BB's physical health, his continued mental acuity, the Krafts' desires and natural or man-made catastrophes are part of the equation, you are right. But aside from those factors, I think the likelihood of his continuing until he surpasses Shula is in the realm of the sun rising in the east and setting in the west tomorrow. I don't think Belichick enjoys anything more than coaching great teams and teaching good teams how to be great.This is not totally within his control.
