That will be the look on my face if he leaves and has success while we sit here and suffah.

If he can turn WA and CHI around why can't he turn the Pats around? What's different there than here?

I have my doubts whether someone in their 70's could (or would want to) start over and do a complete franchise rebuild. But I do think there's merit to a change of scenery energizing someone, or giving them a perspective they maybe didn't realize they were missing. He's been here for over 20 years, and as hard as one may try, there are probably things he takes for granted about the operation that could use adjusting. A new team might bring those to light.

Also, if he goes to Chicago, and has, say, the 2nd and 3rd overall pick and takes Drake May and Marvin Harrison Jr, that could spark a turnaround a LOT faster.

The change in perspective is a good point, one that reflects on an issue I've had with BB for a long time - that is, his tendency to favor an inbred coaching staff.

I just think that everything about the last two decades is such an outlier in NFL history, that it's hard to compare it to anything else. It's why I really don't get mad about the current Patriots, even though I think it's time for a change up top. Doing anything in one place for 23 (24?) years is so rare, and the fact it's held together as long as it has should be appreciated, even if the end is really crappy. Again, I don't know if he's got the juice left to start over from scratch, but that feels like a really insurmountable task here, where there's so much habit and history ingrained.

Andy Reid is a good example. He was clearly burnt out with the Eagles and they were declining. Although they were never a threat in the AFC, he went to the Chiefs with a fresh start and turned them around. But landing Mahomes has breathed new life into Reid.

I think it's a big gamble to bank on a 70+ year old guy to turn around a franchise, even if he's a living legend.

That change of scenery works both ways. Think of the locker room that obviously just came off a bad enough few years that their coach was fired and then in walks Bill. I think you'd stand at attention right away.
