Of course. I was just thinking about coaches.Add Caserio to that list.
I would agree on McDaniels, but I wouldn't call Patricia "expendable." Belichick didn't win his 4th ring as HC until after patricia became DC. The D really struggled from 2005-2013. Our D hasn't been this good in a while, and I would like to think Patricia is a big reason for that.
Chip would get too far away from a balanced offense I think. One thing I love about McDaniels is how he's matured over the past 10 years as a coach, I don't think Chip is at that level of maturity quite yet but I suppose coming in under BB would be a great way to grow up.
McDaniels. The real genius behind these defenses is Belichick. Patricia is far more expendable.
Pretty much agreed. I think Chip could be useful as an offensive special assistant of some kind, kinda like Dom Capers was for the defense in 2008. He's a very intelligent guy who has real insight that I think could help the team on play design, offensive philosophy, and practice philosophy. But I wouldn't go any further than that, certainly wouldn't name him OC or anything. The Pats already have an offense that works just fine, and we have guys internally who can step up and coordinate it if the need arises. I'd take that over the alternative of bringing in some big name assistant any day.
Would it make sense to bring Chip Kelly should Josh leave the job ? Or would he ruin the Pats offensive system trying to "Oregon" it ?
