Updated Patriot Coaches and titles

[One-If-By-Sea]

Curran made an interesting point he said BBs budget he's given ties into his own salary.. less he spends, more he gets..

This is not true. The salary cap for players is a contractual agreement with the players' union. Coaches salaries are independent of the players' union agreement. The Pats spend the whole salary cap or carry it over. BB distributes how the whole salary cap is spent, but his compensation is in no way linked to the salary cap, and the Pats spend the whole cap each year.

You may be right, although I’ve heard this too, but your justification is wrong. Salary cap and actual money spent are two totally different things. A boss/owner can give whatever budget they want

I think you might be confusing two different budgets. I think @Real fan 02 is doing the same thing.

There is a budget for the "players" and a budget for the "team". The budget for the "players" is defined in the players' union agreement, and there are minimums and maximums that the owners have to follow - it is collectively bargained and legally binding. The owners can not give whatever budget they want for the players' salaries. The owners can split up the pay to the players any way the GM and owner want as long as they stay within the collectively agreed budget limits.

For the coaches, stadium, concessions, etc., the owner can set any "team" budget they like as you note. When Tom Curran talks about BB's salary he is talking about the owner's "team" budget and it has nothing to do with the "players" budget. It appears as you do not understand there are two budgets because you and @Real fan 02 talk about coaches' and players salaries in the same post when they are two different legal requirements for the two different budgets.

The cash paid to satisfy the two different budgets varies from year to year and is not the same as the budget total because of upfront guaranteed payments are due some years and not others.
