**** Lebeau Let Go

[IcyPatriot]

Just putting this out there ...
Might Belichick try to bring him in to a quality control position with the team?
With the team losing a few coaches ... and maybe more than we know ... he could prove useful.

 

[Marqui]

lol

 

[Joey007]

He’s 80

 

[Kontradiction]

He needs to retire at this point. Not take a job like Capers had here in '08.

 

[IcyPatriot]

He’s 80

All he has to do is sit up in the crows nest on game day with Ernie.

 

[TheFlyingWedge]

He might get brought in here as a consultant - who knows?

Its well known that Belichick has tremendous respect for the man.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

He was immediately let go by a new HC who made his mark under BB as a player, and then coached as a DC under a protégé in BoB. I think that tells you all you need to know about their views of him at this point.

 

[Triumph]

His defenses always gave Brady fits. Instead of Brady throwing for 10 TDs he could only manage 5.

Time to hang up the whistle.

Between 1964 and 1975, UCLA won March Madness TEN TIMES. That is pretty damned crazy, as note they didn't win with the same personnel no player was there more than four years at a time. That tournament is also single-round elimination. During that stretch, at different times they had Bill Bradley, Kareem, Bill Walton. Pretty crazy dynasty.

It is hard to compare to what the Patriots have done, as it was a different time, and they clearly used questionable recruiting tactics.

Wrong thread?

 

[letekro]

....into his Depends, I hope.

 

[neuronet]

Wrong thread?

oops right.

 

[chasa]

All he has to do is sit up in the crows nest on game day with Ernie.

and do what? suggest that the patriots keep doing the same stuff that the other team is capitalizing on?

The dude is so rigid, the only thing he'd be good for is the occasional worthers I'm sure he keeps in his pockets.

Vrabel booted him? I'm not a fan of those D's over the years.. just sayin

 

[convertedpatsfan]

Lebeau was with the Titans???

I thought Brady owned him for the past few decades...

 

[Froob]

LeBeau hasn’t been right since the Tebowing.

 

[borg]

Sign the beast

 

[AzorianPats]

Nah. Promote coaches that have been in the system.

 

[captain stone]

Maybe bring back Pepper Johnson.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Crime against the elderly!!!

Ehh ...

I gotta wonder how much of that was the FO/GM/Owner rather than Vrabel, especially considering the rumors that Mularkey was let go because he didn't want to fire his coordinators. Woulda been more gracious of them to let LeBeau retire, but perhaps he didn't want to.
