Getting Hightower as LB coach makes this staff goated already

 

[PowerRunRevival]

It does seem like Pats are finally filling out their staff. I know the pats under Belichick were known for having a small staff, I will be extremely curious to see if there are more coaches than last year next season.

Guessing Lawling will bolt to BC, and I don’t see Troy Brown being retained.

It does seem like Pats are finally filling out their staff. I know the pats under Belichick were known for having a small staff, I will be extremely curious to see if there are more coaches than last year next season.

They had 19 coaches last year, so they have some hiring to do.

Great hire. Judon gonna ball.

Nice to get a veteran LB coach in too to work with Hightower. Between Wilkins and Mayo, should make the transition for High from player to coach a bit smoother. Defensive coaching staff feels pretty solid to me.

Just need a RB and WR coach now right? Other than some assistants and what not.

"During (Bills) games, I'd come to the sidelines and I'd talk to the coaches, but I would go see Alex way more than I would see any of them to talk about what was going on," Bledsoe told Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald. "It was obvious at that point that, if he chose to, he was going to be a great football coach."

He has also established a lasting friendship with Bledsoe, who was tasked with penning Van Pelt a letter of recommendation when he was originally contacted by the Patriots for the offensive coordinator job that college-bound Bill O'Brien left behind. The Bledsoe-Van Pelt connection began from the second each man received his NFL calling: New England made Bledsoe the opening pick of the 1993 draft, 215 choices before the Pittsburgh Steelers took Van Pelt in the eighth round.

"Everybody that's ever played with him absolutely loved him to death. And I know that the guys he's coached love him to death," Bledsoe said. "He's a very real person, he's honest, and he's a guy who is able to take a very, very complex game and boil it down."

Van Pelt took over the Browns' offense in 2020, a fateful time on the Cleveland timeline with 2018's first overall pick, Baker Mayfield leading the way. Eager for some special guidance, Van Pelt had Bledsoe speak to his passers, unaware that it'd simultaneously become both a motivational speech and a roast.

"I was like, 'All right, look, you guys need to listen to (Van Pelt) because when you look at him, you know, he's six-foot tall, maybe six-foot-one, kind of chubby," Bledsoe recalled with a smirk. "Not real fast, doesn't have a big arm. Well, this guy played over a decade in the NFL with that body."

TE also, unless BoB's boy stays, which I doubt.

“He was very sharp,” said the coach. “There were a lot of people in there (including Robyn Glaser, who didn’t ask any questions) and you could see a lot of note-taking going on, but Jerod was fully engaged. His questions were really good and he asked great follow-ups where you could tell he was engaged. He wasn’t just reading them off a piece of paper.

It makes sense that the Krafts would have a football liasion overseeing how the front office and the coaches were running things. But I didn't anticipate this level of micromanagement. Note taking during interviews, etc. In my organization, when we make decisions on personnel or other very important decisions, we limit the group that's privy to discussions (and that includes upper management and upper administration) because we want people to be absolutely free in whatever they're going to say and in whatever assessment they are going to make. In my experience, you open things up and people become much more guarded in what they're willing to reveal. An outsider from another organization is going to immediately take note that many people are in the room and that so is ownership, essentially, and they are going to take that into account when determining what kind of place Foxboro is for a coach. This has nothing to do with Glaser being good at her job, it has everything to do with her notetaking. Presumably, you can have a secretary in there to take minutes. She's not transcribing anything for anyone, but rather reporting to the owners.

When I conduct interviews, I have someone taking notes for me so that I can stay fully engaged in the conversation at the moment but have something to refer to later. Perhaps that’s what is happening here.

I've never seen so much drama over a team lawyer.

Upstarter, you should probably take a break from the internet for a while. It might be good for you. Come back around the end of training camp or something.

so far hit on 1 of these.

Nah, I'll do what I please. You can see the micromanaging here at all levels. They don't trust their own coaches and execs. They said this has to do with the business side, which is fine. This is the football side. If you don't trust your own coaches and you build a staff full of finks and rats, you get what you deserve.

I addressed this. A secretary doing that is perfectly fine, I said. Blaser is not a secretary.

You keep saying that like a teenager. But I'm telling you, the paranoid delusions, leaps in logic and wild assumptions is a sign of something not good going on upstairs. I think a break would do you good.

Stop being the board monitor, fink, and cop, aren't you embarrassed?

Why would I be? I'm trying to help you out.

A secretary if one thing, a lawyer totally changes the dynamics.

His questions were really good and he asked great follow-ups where you could tell he was engaged. He wasn’t just reading them off a piece of paper.

Where in that quote does it say that Robyn was the only one taking notes? "A lot of note taking" followed by "but Jerod was fully engaged", implies it was Jerod taking notes.

This has nothing to do with Glaser being good at her job, it has everything to do with her notetaking. Presumably, you can have a secretary in there to take minutes. She's not transcribing anything for anyone, but rather reporting to the owners.

This is one of your worse takes yet. You don't think Jerod and Wolf are reporting to the owners? Give it a rest, Robyn Glaser is there to provide whatever support Mayo needs related to matters within her perview. Glasers title is Senior Advisor to the Head Coach. She's an attorney with an MBA.

I didn't see all this hand wringing about Berj Najarian being Bill's fixer. His title was Director of Football / Head Coach admin. Not an attorney. No MBA. No football credentials.

"He is the consigliere of the New England Patriots,” the team’s offensive coordinator, Bill O’Brien, said. “No question about it.”

The retired quarterback Drew Bledsoe said that in the organizations he played for — New England, Buffalo, Dallas — he never encountered someone with a role similar to Najarian’s. Because Najarian stood between Belichick and the rest of the world, that role “gave him a ton of power,” Bledsoe said. He added: “With the Patriots, it’s an efficiency thing. Berj worried about stuff so Bill didn’t have to.”
