BB has always had to do more with less it seems. One change that I wish the NFL would make is to compensate teams when other teams raid their coaching staffs.IMO it starts and ends with coaching. Everyone has their own opinion on Bill the GM, and I don't think he's as bad as many here make him out to be), but this offense has become dramatically worse with what should be a better roster than last year.
The units that Judge and Patricia are responsible have been awful. It can't be coincidence. I was thinking, if McDaniels was still here, would the offense still be struggling? I don't think so.
The Patriots always made more out of less with fantastic coaching. That edge is gone. I don't think Bill has lost his ability to coach, not in the least. But it's part of his job to build a capable staff, and on the offensive side this year (and maybe special teams), he's failed pretty badly.
Next year will be defined by what changes are made on this coaching staff.
After this season. Really doubtful. Which owner will want to put up with a grumpy 70 year old coach who is coming off losing record and having the worst offensive position because he doesn't trust outsiders and drafts based on insider recommendations and wants zero interference.I guarantee BB would have a long line of suitors if he wanted to keep coaching.
He gets another year but is forced to make changes. That’s my guess, fwiw.BB is not getting fired. He will voluntarily/voluntold to step down when the time comes
You're on crack, he could get a job in 15 minutes.... that's IF he didn't have a phone within 20 miles.After this season. Really doubtful.

Besides if patriots after a 20 year old association are willing to let go of bill , imagine what the mindset of a new franchise would be.
The only ones who could have bills would be bottom feeders without QB of the future .
Here's a trivia question: Name the only Coach under the BB coaching tree that has won a playoff game?I don't have the numbers, but BB must be near the top of quality coaches that he has developed.
The recent raids have been from Carroll, Reid, Shanahan and McVay.During the Pats dynasty days they were constantly having to compensate for losing coaches to other teams, and still developing competent replacement, and I can't think of another team that has been raided for their coaches than the Pats.

He never coached under Bill.Vrabel?
BOB once led a very pedestrian Texans team to a playoff victory.Here's a trivia question: Name the only Coach under the BB coaching tree that has won a playoff game?
I agree with this. Even if it’s a late round pick, it’ll at least be something. I get coaches deserve promotions and change happens but just the smallest bit of compensation would be niceBB has always had to do more with less it seems.

Look at how many coaches BB has developed only to lose them to other teams.

If another team signs away one of your players, you can get compensated with comp picks. There have even been occasions where teams have paid high draft picks to hire a head coach under contract with another team.

Some teams seem to have an inability to develop coaches at all.
Also, for those of you who think BB should be fired, who do you want for a replacement?
I guarantee BB would have a long line of suitors if he wanted to keep coaching.
the biggest, most glaring issue is the OL......whether that is due to personnel, injuries, coaching or a combination......nothing it getting better until the OL improves
we aren't going to find NFL starter-worthy upgrades at this point of the season......i don't think coaching is the only or even the biggest issue with this group.......although it may be part of it
you do what you can do to not get anyone's career ended, either through seeing ghost or getting hammered.......so far Mac has handled all of this year's adversity remarkably well.......and you do what needs to be done in the offseason, between FA, draft, coaching additions, coaching subtractions
nothing matters until that front is better
The one thing that is completely unacceptable is having Patricia and Judge guiding our first round QB who showed a lot of promise in year 1. This is indefensible. If BB won’t make the right changes to the offence this off-season Kraft needs to blow it up.
