Update: Curran says Belichick has been on the hot seat since 2019

Mayo decides to stay on staff without getting the assistant head coach or DC title.

Why would he do this unless he was promised the HC job in next 1-2 years.
 
Why? He's going to be 72 next year and if he's looking for a job then that means he would have had 4 subpar seasons in a row.

100% getting canned... 6 wins or less
75% getting canned... 7-8 wins
50% getting canned... 9 wins and no postseason
25% getting canned... 10 wins and no postseason
0% getting canned... 11 wins or more or 9-10 wins with a postseason

How can he expect to compete when the owner's forcing the payroll to be in the bottom quartile?
 
This is Bill's last coaching job. Any next job is as a consultant/front office role.

And as an aside, employed and being unemployed is a binary outcome. RKK is decisive. He doesn't handicap length of tenure. You are either successful or you aren't.
RKK wasn't decisive with Brady. He tried to play it down the middle and it blew up in his face.

I think it's a legit question if Kraft still has the balls to fire BB.
 
I saw this early today by that scumbag. Didn’t think anyone on this board would actually promote this by posting the article.

Rainmaker would. What a surprise.

I've made it clear before that I don't think Bill is on the hot seat.

I wanted to see what others thought.
 
If he's not then he should be. Hello RKK.
Only possible way is if he loses the locker room and they finish with a really bad record. But even then, Robert is too old and won't want to put his faith in O'Brien or Mayo.
 
Firing Bill and hiring BOB or Mayo is a good way to become the new Jaguars.
The "new Jaguars" made the playoffs last year

It'll all come down to Mac Jones. If he improves off his best moments from his rookie season, and settles into the top 10-12 of QBs, then the team will be good enough otherwise to save BB's job. If Mac looks like he did last season, or only marginally better, then BB should be on thin ice because with the way their schedule is looking now, subpar QB play will mean 8 wins or less.

Yeah i meant be the dregs of the NFL until you get the quarterback, i'd love to know how and why Mac/Zappe + BOB or Mayo is in any way going to be a good operation.

He is a football historian, mastermind of the game as a whole.. he was meant in life to teach, coach football and he's done that at it's apex.. it would be totally up to him of he wanted to continue his passion and pass Shula elsewhere..

Kraft had to trust his HC who thought that Brady was on the decline.

Either you let Brady go or BB goes.

There was no good move.

Zappe or bust.

Really? What franchise is bringing in Belichick for an all time wins ceremony?

Look, half the league is locked into their head coaches for the foreseeable future. Half the head coaches are probably preferable to Belichick. We're not talking about 2004 IBWT anymore (when that actually meant something). We're not even talking 2018 Bill. If he in fact is looking for a job next year then we're talking 72-year-old subpar head coach.

Ultimately what happened was best for the franchise. Firing the best coach ever would not be.

Brady could have chosen to stay.
