You believe Belichick keeps the coaches he thinks are worse over the coaches he thinks are better coaches? That explains so much. He must have been doing the same with players, that’s why they have sucked the past 20 years. Thanks for clearing that up, I have been trying to figure it out for decades.
The difference in Buffalo is Brandon Beane, McDermott, good drafting, and much better personnel decisions overall. They have also done a good job putting their coaching staff together, including Daboll. Buffalo is the best franchise in the AFCE right now, and Belichick not only has to rebuild their franchise to that level, but to a higher level to be competitive with the other top franchise’s in football, such as Kansas City. That’s going to take several years of really good decisions to achieve, a quick fix isn’t going to do it, and the idea it can be fixed by simply changing a few coaches is foolish. For me the primary challenge Belichick faces is getting a franchise QB that is on par with Mahomes, Allen, and a number of others, and then building the units around them to championship level. Right now the OL, RB, and secondary are the only units at that level, and the secondary, in particular, is likely to lose a number of big pieces over the next two years, and will require more really good picks to keep it at that level for the time when the rest of the team is ready to compete at a championship level. The only caveat to that would be if they somehow manage to get a top QB immediately, which is unlikely. I basically see the franchise at a level where they have to do a major rebuild, although not of the level Belichick inherited in 2000. And a big part of the problem right now is that there success has caused a pillaging of their front office, coaching staff, and player personel, and that will likely continue through through this offseason. I’m grateful to Belichick for building the greatest dynasty in NFL history, and I’m really interested in seeing how he goes about getting them back to championship level, and more than willing to give him the time to do so.
Enter Wilson or Lance they are the only 2 I see with that kind of potential. Since Lawrence is a already buying a home in Jacksonville as far away from a meth lab as possible which in Jacksonville is about 3 blocks.

They appear to be the best prospects in this class but it would take much much more knowledge to know the potential of all of the prospects in this class. Plenty of top 10 QB picks bust, and plenty of those drafted 2nd round and on turn out to be good QB’s. I don’t count on Belichick seeing the QB he wants at 15, and I seriously doubt he would trade up higher than 10 to get one, as the draft capital is too high. As it stands right now the QB I would like to see Belichick go get is Fitzpatrick, who I think would make them competitive, and who would allow Belichick to go at the rebuild from a higher point of competitiveness than a guy like Brissett would. And I think that signing Fitzpatrick would make it more likely they invest in WR early in the draft, as well as signing one in free agency, although I doubt he would spend big $$$$$ on the position. Ultimately I think QB is the key to the offseason, as I believe Belichick will take a very different approach to his roster depending upon who is likely to be behind center. If it’s Brissett then I think he’s likely to let many of his veteran free agents go, and will cut others, e.g..Patrick Chung,but if it’s Fitzpatrick or Garrapolo he’s likely to try to keep guys like Edelman, Lawrence Guy and David Andrews around, and try to build up his offensive weapons.
Who did he pick Dean Pees over?
I agree completely, and this is borne out by the fact that the most stable franchises are the most successful long term, with the obvious exception of the Bengals, but that only happened because Brown wanted to pay as little as possible for operating the franchise while reaping as much as possible from revenues. As much as I dislike them Pittsburgh and Baltimore have been very stable franchises and have enjoyed great success, despite consistently losing players and coaches because of their success, and Seattle and Green Bay prove the same point. And if franchises like Buffalo and the Rams stick with their GM’s and head coaches I think you will see similar results going forward. On the other hand the franchises that make rash decisions and change GM’s, coaches, and course’s repeatedly are almost universally the worst franchises in the league, to which I cite The New York Football Jets.
I get it, you don’t like MacDaniels, I just don’t agree with what you are saying. MacDaniels coached a first ballot HOF TE, and I don’t know of any OC who succeeds with a horrible QB with a weak receiving corps and no TE’s. If MacDaniels gets a HC job I’m fine with it, and if he’s back I’m fine with that, the issues with the Patriots right now are about the losses in talent and the need to rebuild significant parts of the team.
So Josh McDaniels was the Browns' OC today, apparently. Chubb: 13 carries. Shocker!!! They lost.
