Will Belichick file an Age Discrimination lawsuit against the NFL?

[venecol]

I don't think he will but this would give Team Bill some hope for his future.

Does the NFL have an age discrimination issue?

This year's youth movement could be a sign of bias against older coaches.

There are so many issues with this league, but this certainly isn't one of them.

Bill could easily get a coordinator job. When there’s only 32 jobs and you had the 3rd worst performance last year, you don’t have a case for age discrimination

And where's the cutoff for the age discrimination claim? Is it 65, 69, 70? Bruce Arians won a SB at 68+ and retired at 69. The last HC in his 70s before Bill and Pete was Romeo Crennell as an interim HC when the Texans fired BoB. Before that it was Marv Levy in 1997.

Bill made like $20 million last year. Wtf would he not take the perfect job?

he files taht suit, he probably never becomes a HC again...he's already a very rich man

no reason to do it, just wait a year and teams will come knocking

after what Bill did here these past few years post Brady, I don’t have any idea why anybody would think it’s his age as to why he doesn’t have a job right now.

BB is going to have the last laugh when his new team plays the Pats.

Then you will see how the game has passed BB by.

Very difficult to prove age discrimination but very easy to prove his substandard job performance in 2023.

Either way there is no way he would go down that road.

IDK, teams can argue that they didn't want him because he wanted full control and teams don't give full control to head coaches anymore. He was the last head coach who still had total control.

You've never met a Bill topic you don't tackle, that's for sure. You have a very strange love/hate thing going on.

Is that why you're pushing for Mac to remain as the starter. Don't be so transparent.

According to Blank, Bill did not request full or any control. He just applied to be the HC, and he still lost the job to Rah, a defensive coach.

I doubt many would agree that Rah is a better DC/HC than Bill, yet they chose him over Bill. Why? I suspect the way Bill handled Mac had a lot to do with it, given ATL is looking for a young franchisr QB.

I'm just following Ian's directive to start a new thread when new information comes out. When Ian speaks, I listen.

No one is telling you to react to every Belichick click bait, tweet, post, rumor or myth that comes out. That's a you thing, my man.

No reason to think he would. Just seems like pontification by Florio. His other example was Carroll but I don't remember any word that he was even looking to interview elsewhere in the first place.

There was word he tried to interview with the Chargers.

Maybe I'll start my own "What If" thread.
