What are the Pats waiting for?

[203Pat]

The thread bandit strikes again

Always love the “why do we need this thread?” Posters. God forbid anyone post about something they don’t want to read about. Why ignore the thread when you can complain?

So you post to complain about complainers complaining?

Or did I?

I'm confused now ... I need a nap.

Well, BB installed elements of Kyle Shanahans offense.

Could the Pats be waiting until an offensive coach on the 49ers staff is available to interview? Promote him to OC? BB is good pals with Mike Shanahan so its not a leap of faith to speculate that BB does not know his son too.

Can I complain about the complainers complaining about the complainers or is that taking it too far?

You have to interview minority candidates for this position. It really isn't that hard to figure this out. If they simply hired an old white guy as their offensive coordianator they would be fined, so they have to go through the process. I also believe that the Patriots actually take this stuff seriously and actually try to interview candidates who they are interested in.

They've already interviewed more minority candidates than they're required to.

OK Kontra...you started this...let me pour some sickening syrupy dreck to really sugar coat this thread until there's an outcome..

Something is wrong with you. Because you had to watch that video before posting to know what it is.

I have a couple Rooney Rule questions. Is it a requirement for every coaching vacancy? Does the fact that the NEP has already had a minority (Flores) and a few others I suppose, mean that they've complied with the obligation?

I have two questions:
1) Is Belichick waiting for OBrien to finish up at Alabama to become the Pats' OC?
2) Did Belichick bring in Patricia and Judge to hold the fort until OBrien was free?

What was Bill waiting for?

for BOB's Alabama contract to end

BOB was announced on the first day that he was not under contract.

I've seen reports his contract ran through next month.

1. It is not required for position coaches, but is for HC and coordinator jobs (as well as top FO positions, like Groh's job). The one exception is if a coach has a clause that automatically promotes them in case of a vacancy (the thing that led to the Belichick napkin).

2. No. It has to be satisfied with fresh interviews for each opening.

Bill O’Brien's contract expires January 23

Keep this in mind as you worry about him being back next season. IF he comes back, it's because Saban is happy with his performance, NOT because nobody will take him off our hands.

Alabama offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien hired by New England Patriots

Alabama will need to find two new coordinators after Bill O'Brien joined Pete Golding in leaving the Tide.

www.google.com

The two-year contract O’Brien signed with Alabama in 2021 was set to expire at the end of February, and his return to the NFL was long speculated.

Waiting for a train to go or a bus to come,
or a plane to go or the mail to come,
or the rain to go or the phone to ring,
or the snow to snow or waiting around for a Yes or No
or waiting for their hair to grow.

Everyone is just waiting.

Waiting for the fish to bite
or waiting for wind to fly a kite
or waiting around for Friday night

or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake
or a pot to boil, or a Better Break
or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants
or a wig with curls, or Another Chance.

Everyone is just waiting.

Maybe it was just for O’Brien, but more likely it was that he didn’t see any OC candidates he wanted, or that he could get, so he sacrificed Patricia for a year rather than hire then fire someone from outside the organization.

4) Why does this board insist on 99% of conversation being contained in 3-4 mega threads and not realize it creates a really dry environment

So true. I would much rather deal with a diversity of threads than have to wade through a few mega threads

And after two pages the posts have nothing to do with the title of the thread, it goes off the rails fairly quickly.
