Away from politics for a moment and on to something fun.

Will Bill Belichick finish the season? Will he be one and done? Or, will the administration give him a year or two? I watched a Carolina TV local news report that buyout negotiations are under way. Also, parents and players reporting fights in the locker room, assistant coaches missing, and a complete unorganized mess. The topper will be butts in the seats. That part looks bad, real bad.

The best that can be said is that Belichick has not damage his legacy as badly as did Paterno or...

Schembechler... so far.

He's gonzo. No way he survives the on-field and off-field dumpster fire.

It's actually difficult to decide how great of a H.C. he actually is/was.

The point highlighting his record without Tom Brady has been made numerous times.

And that leads us to a place where perhaps we don't really know what his pure Head Coaching acumen is. He slowly improved the Browns to a playoff team in 4 seasons. They cratered in his 5th season, but the question remains as to how much of that was driven by the cloud of relocation to Baltimore over the organization.

Then he started 5-13 with the Patriots. Brady took over after Week 2, and we all know what happened over the next 2 decades. And we all know about the cheating.

So, one might argue that there's more robust evidence that he's a lesser pure Head Coach than contemporaries like Bill Cowher, Andy Reid, Tony Dungy, or Jon Gruden. Yes, there are more rings on Belichick's hand, but these guys had sustained success across multiple Q.B.'s in their tenure.

My worthless opinion is that he is an exceptional defensive strategist and a solid H.C. He's somewhat around the level of Ditka as a Head Coach....he'll come in, the veterans and guys who don't buy all the way in have to be rooted out while he gets his kind of locker room. They'll slowly build up to the kind of team he wants to have, and the team will have big runs when the right Q.B. and O.C. are in place. Most organizations (and college programs) don't have the patience for that kind of slow build.

That 100% of the N.F.L. teams with openings passed on him last year is telling.

This was stupid as hell from the get-go. Anyone could see that.

Not that It was necessary…but he’s cementing Brady as the GOAT even further…

Anyone knows how smart the people who sit next to you on an airplane flight are, right?

He won quite a few SB at NE by cheating. Has he tried that?

No, I don't think he will last the yr. Esp as the losses mount which is inevitable.
