SI claims Steve Belichick is the Patriots next HC

[ctpatsfan77]

This isn't a report. This is part of the Fan-written segment of SI (FanNation), not anyone at SI. He's just parroting some suggestions we've already heard, which as we know, aren't necessarily accurate.

When clicking on a link purporting to be from Sports Illustrated, look at the top left corner of the resulting screen. If it doesn't say "SI" in the corner, it's not official SI reporting.

Good

Bad.

 

[captain stone]

I am all for a world where Josh McDaniels is never the HC of the Pats. We actually still need a new offensive coordinator as well.

I'd rather see Skippy as HC of the NEP than the unqualified, incompetent Thanksdad Stevie.

 

[captain stone]

This is dumb. I doubt this info would ever leak out. Plus, the Krafts will pick Bill’s successor, not Bill.

Are we sure about that?

 

[captain stone]

I would not be shocked if Bill wants this. After all he has been allowed to hire them and then promote them repeatedly. This would be the logical conclusion.

There's no doubting that Bill wants this...But it should still Never be allowed to happen.

 

[captain stone]

Why wouldn't he be allowed to hire them into entry positions ? Why wouldn't they be promoted if they have been doing continuously good work and earned their spot ?

But they haven't earned their spots.

 

[captain stone]

Exactly, why would BB pick his successor. Last time I checked this is not a monarchy.

If Bill has his way, it will be.

He should go work under Nick Saban for a couple of years, then maybe become a coordinator for another NFL team. He's gonna have to earn it or the players won't have any respect for him.

Wait, what?

You don't like Josh?

 

[Ochmed Jones]

interesting that saban has won 6 championships at Alabama with 6 different offensive coordinators.

The one constant at Alabama is saban runs the defense regardless of who holds the defensive coordinator title,

I absolutely do not believe this from SI and SI has come down in the world a lot, but all this is being claimed as coming from inside sources:

'Happy to Be Back!' Wade Phillips, Former Texans Coach, Takes XFL Job

NFL Coach Tracker, the Houston Texans and beyond

www.si.com

With Patricia back he’s not even the next DC

With Patricia back he’s not even the next DC

Seems Matt Patricia will be not either the DC

Fan Nation is not a fan-written forum.
Fan Nation is part of the SI network
From what I can tell, Fan Nation uses writers who are plugged into a particular market and leans on these writers when big stories require a local insider's perspective.
Mike Fisher is clearly Fan Nation's Texas insider who is all over the Houston Texans soap opera right now
Fisher has written 16 articles on the Texans just in the past week for Fan Nation / Texans Daily

I've only been saying that for the last 4 years

Sure, but let's not pretend that Steve hasn't gotten the job done for the most part too. He's got 6 years of coaching experience at this point and has earned 3 rings as a coach or coach's assistant. He's no prodigy but he's competent.

 

[hornetfb85]

Huhhh, didn’t even know SI was a thing anymore. Interesting.

 

[Froob]

I’m imagining your life goes like this:

Waiter: Hey what can I get you tonight?

DropKickFlutie: Anything as long as Josh McDaniels isn’t cooking

Wrong.

I do know after some recent conversations I've had that it's not apparently the case with all, but it is the case with the majority of teams within that network at this time. That's also why SI specifically is going out of its way to differentiate the two and that's why they have that section.

However, I can also tell you that apparently there are some changes coming there, which I recently learned of. Can't tell you how I know this, other than to say I can promise you I would never make anything up or mislead you

Truthfully, I didn't know SI was still in the game.
