It's easy, and only takes a few moments.He was an overrated DC....don’t want him back in this role....but I’m sure that’s what BB will doI won't mind if he comes back in a role like this. I was never the biggest Patricia fan. I always felt his defenses were not aggressive enough for today's NFL, but in other roles he might be more effective.
I don’t think most people realize that....Patricia was not good as DC overall....I would rather give Mayo a shotWhy is everyone here happy with this?
The era he was here was probably the worst defensive era for the Patriots under the Belichick era.
That’s it in a nutshell....maddening to watch...How to you come back to the Pats with any credibility as Patricia now?
"Hi guys. Good to see some familiar faces. Now I know for the last few years you've been playing a new style of defence where you try to "stop" the other team from advancing the ball, and "force punts" etc. [*physical air quotes used]
But I'm a rocket scientist. So, we're going back to our old scheme of conceding the first 80 yards of the field and then doing our damndest to hold them to field goals in the red zone. Everybody good with that?"
Actually you’re right....he and Josh are both average at best in what they do...and way overratedPatricia coming back shouldn't be any worse than when Josh came back having led the league's worst offense (12pts/game) in St Louis 2011, and after being fired from Denver going 5-17 before being fired in 2010. Patricia sounds like he's a good teacher, just have to put him in spots that he's good at.
Sounds like he’s there more to evaluate talent.
If he brings Stafford or Golladay to New England or old buddy Trey Flowers I’m all
For it. Matter of Fact eff it let’s get Harmon and Jamie Collins back Too.
Hopefully Dan Campbell starts jettisoning players we can pick.
Flores was a much better DC than Patricia and starting out well as HC in Miami overall.....They may have loved him but the next year when Flores was calling the defensive plays the players kept saying they weren’t thinking as much just playing because it wasn’t as complicated.
Trust me he had his opportunity and failed miserably....odds are against him that he will ever get another shot...BB would be only one to hire him for anything football related right nowInteresting that Reiss and Zolak were talking about offense last week and now Rapoport mentions scouting. Sounds like he’s trying to become more well-rounded for another head coaching opportunity.
GoodI guess you can cross Stafford's name off the list then.

Um, it's BB you can thank for that performance, not Matt Patricia. I'm okay with the rehire. But man, we need playas.Can't forgive that SB defensive performance and he only showed he's nothing special at the Lions. Not overly chuffed about him returning.
Bill is a great coach. I feel like I have to preface my comment with the obvious given that some people seem to think he's prefect and should never be criticized. But this is one of his flaws. He tends to hire and promote guys he is comfortable with rather than just trying to find the best guy for the job. Is there a better guy out there? I don't know. I don't follow the coaching situation that closely. But I am fmiliar with his work here. This is a pretty underwhelming signing.
