Bill Belichick going to Dallas

[rms13]

Schefter reporting today that Falcons HC search is wide open.

[rms13]

It's looking more like Bill isn't getting a job anywhere. As far as I can tell the Falcons are the only team that interviewed him or asked for an interview. Supposedly Blank really wanted to hire Bill but his CEO and GM both told him they would quit if they hire Bill. Judging by the amount of candidates being interviewed now by the Falcons it seems obvious they aren't going to go with Bill. But they also just interviewed Vrabel which is interesting because Arthur Smith is apparently one of his best friends.

bill will coach the giants if daboll fails in 2024. that is the only job i see bill getting ever again.

It’s quite obvious he is going to KC once Fat Red retires this offseason. It’s so obvious even a cave man…well..you know.

Be funny if he never coaches again and does not get the coaching record.

Raheem Morris to ATL, Belichick out

That's all everyone talks about as his motivation but I'm not sure he even cares. I think if anything he cares about winning a SB without Brady but that's a much loftier goal at this point unless he lands in the perfect situation like the Cowboys. As for wins he's already got to 300 and with how much reverence he has for history of the game I doubt he feels bad about behind behind two legendary coaches in Shula and Halas. He's built his entire career on the idea that individual stats and records don't matter only winning championships matter so for him to spend the last couple of years of his career stat padding would be weird. Not to mention that he already cost himself wins this year by sticking with Mac as long as he did which he only did to rub it in Kraft's face from what I've heard.

Far be it for me to defend BB and he may well be out of this cycle. After Harbaugh gers signed, dominos today are a DC whose side ranked 19th and an OC whose side ranked outside of the top 20. Not the most inspiring signings but at least Morris has a prior history in ATL.

If anything, this seems to say the 'old way' is out, and players coaches are in.

So it will probably be tough for him to get another crack outside of Daboll collapsing.

Who's the number 1 pick in 25'?

BB lost out to a guy with a head coaching record of 21 and 38...

[JeremyNick]

This is kinda sad at this point.

I was listening to some ATL beat writer and besides saying that the ATL front office would all quit if Belichick was hired he also said that no players are going to buy into Bill's coaching style these days. The Pats replaced him with a guy who by all accounts is well liked by everyone and will be the best friend of his players and the media. I agree it will be hard for Bill to walk into a new team where he doesn't have 20+ years of history and get buy in from anyone. He can easily get a job as a studio analyst for any network and that's probably the best job for him at this point.

Aside from age (a huge difference) what's the difference between Harbaugh and Bill B. ?

Both ride their players hard and are divas that are control freaks...

Well it sounds like the FO would have quit had Blank hired BB and gave him control so Blank did not want to deal with a senile out fart who has zero idea how to be a good GM and went to a guy who probably can be a ok coach if the GM can draft him good players to use.

[vthobby]

The only reason Dino Bill would go to Texas is to visit the Alamo. He would use Hertz also.

[sourcehill]

He’s still only tied for the all-time loss record (regular season and overall). These are the records I really hope he comes back to break.

Harbaugh, by most all accounts, is open to his players. And is loved in the locker room. Demanding their best, but also telling them he believes in them and cares for them, gets guys motivated.

BB on the other hand, is unapproachable by his players. They Yes Sir No Sir him, and are afraid to even shake his hand, as he doesn't like that stuff.

Harbaugh is a players coach. BB is a great tactician. But has never been openly embraced by his players or staff, due to his demeanor. That act works, when you are winning. But when you arent, you seem like a hard ass jerk.

Here's some GIFs of Jim Harbaugh:






Here's a GIF of Bill Belichick:




Do you see the difference now?

Clearly Bill is trying to use his Sith Lord powers of the mind to effect others

I highly doubt coach Bill is the same guy as media Bill. Unless anyone here has played for him nobody knows for certain.

I am convinced the offensive game has passed him by. He can still throw together a defense but I don’t think he is able to adapt to the new NFL offense that doesn’t want anything to do with a brainy drop back passer.

Harbaugh's main issue in SF was with ownership and front office. He wore out his welcome pretty quickly with Lynch. Chargers are already a disgunctional organization and they are probably willing to deal with that if they win games. But this time he's going to a team with a lot of roster problems so if he crashes and burns after two years I won't be shocked

this is why I wish Bill would get an interview and be open to taking over as the Giants new Defensive Coordinator. I don't think he could check his ego and be a DC again, but I would love to see him join our staff, build our defense and let Daboll worry about fixing our offense

There is no way he would take a DC job at this point. There is no upside for him doing that. I do think he'd take the Giants HC job in a second if they decide to fire Daboll Going back to the Giants to finish his career as HC there is probably his dream scenario.

Talk now of him not coaching this year and coming back next year if he still wants to coach. With the Giants being a possible destination.

He is the same guy. Dont kid yourself. Remember when the undrafted rookie tried giving BB the game ball in Cleveland? Bill had such disgust on his face, that a nobody player would dare approach him. Even the other coaches knew , and quickly shuffled the nobody aside so as to not bother his highness.

Or an excited Mac Jones hugging one coach, and looking down and just shaking the hand of BB. God knows you dont show emotion or playfulness around BB!

No one is arguing that Harbaugh is not gruff with leadership. He learned that from Coach Ditka. He makes demands for his players and team. And that rubs the money men the wrong way.

I was speaking of his relationship with his players, which s night and day different from Belichick. Harbaugh would run through a wall for his guys. BB would just assume smashed them through one.
