I think a bounceback is likely. A competent offense mixed with more or less the same D (with hopefully some second year leaps from last year) should win them another 3-4 games and a playoff berth at least.
McCourty mentioning how Steve Belichick walked into the defensive backs meeting room day one as their coach and said something along the lines of "Hey guys I have no idea wtf I am doing. My dad just told me I am the coach now." That definitely seems like a bad look that I am sure Bill (and probably Steve) would rather have not had out there.
If the Jets manage a trade for Rodgers, it will be the beginning of the end for Bill.
As much as I don’t like Bill, I only would want him gone if the Front Office and Coaching staff cleans house. We should fear the prospect of Bill O’Brien as the next HC. I’d rather have Mayo.
Patriot fans are totally unaware of how bad the coaching situations are around the league.
The Krafts will be run out on a rail if they blow up Belichick in the middle of this build, because they will almost certainly replace him with someone who is not nearly as competent.
if you think the "Why did they give up on Brady so early?" talk is bad, just imagine what it's going to be like when Sean McVay delivers a 4-12 season for the Patriots (If Belichick gets fired, Mayo isn't being hired, bet on that!)
judge and authority? How? the dude behaves like he actually achieved something as a coach but the only time he was serviceable was as a ST coach, as a HC we was a total failure, see results with daboll without improving WR at all
