These days, I kind of feel coaching trees are overrated. Just because you worked with a legendary coach does not necessarily mean you will be successful once you strike out on your own. Even the once-respected Andy Reid coaching tree seems to have withered, and the best disciples on the downturn. The reasons for these are varied, but the biggest ones are power struggles within an organization, and the head coach being unable to adapt to a rapidly changing game. At least for power struggles, the HC can be scapegoated, but when the HC fails to adjust, there is no one to blame. Just because you worked with a legendary coach does not necessarily mean you will be successful once you strike out on your own, as shown with the failures of the Belichick disciples.

Not going lie, I wanted Josh McDaniels in 2009 for my Lions, we got Matt Patricia in 2018 who I was excited about and was clearly a disaster. Bill O’Brien was clearly the most competent one, then ego, personal power did him in along with having a weirdo as franchise quarterback. Also seems like most of Belichick hires either had personal control or were hired by a fellow Patriot like here in Detroit where we had Bob Quinn the head of scouting with Patriots who brought in Patricia. And truth now is Belichick the GM is hurting Belichick the head coach. People like point out Belichick was 41-57 before Brady took over in 2001, however there is more context then just the numbers. Belichick took over a rebuilding Cleveland Browns job in 1991 pre free agency, so took longer turn a team around, after 3 years a combined record of 20-28, Belichick went 11-5 and won a playoff game in 1994 with Vinny Testeverde, and correctly made the unpopular decision to move on from Bernie Kosar who was done. In 1995 Browns had Super Bowl aspirations, got off to a 4-4 start when Art Modell pulled rug on the season with 8 games left. With rumors swirling that Modell was going move to the team prior to a home game against the Oilers a 37-10 loss, going 4-5, Modell the next day announced team would move to Baltimore in 1996 and team never recovered losing their next 5 games, before winning the second to last game the finale at Cleveland Stadium, finishing 5-11. Belichick got screwed by Modell, why he resigned as Jets head coach in 2000 who at the time were on the market to be sold, with no owner in place, Belichick wisely wasn’t going take his second and likely last chance of being a head coach and not knowing who the owner was after the way Art Modell did him wrong, including firing over the phone after saying Belichick woukd come to Baltimore with the team. So having a previous relationship with Robert Kraft as an assistant there in 1996 under Parcells, Belichick felt comfortable returning work for an owner like Kraft who seen the team was heading towards mediocrity under Pete Carroll. And yes Belichick started off 5-13 in New England however in 2008 and 2016 Brady would miss a total of 19 games where the team went 13-6 with quarterbacks like Matt Cassel, Jimmy G and Jacoby Brissett. The team didn’t implode like Colts did after Peyton Manning was out for season in 2011 with Colts going from 10-6 to 2-14. It was obvious Belichick had built a strong foundation led by a quarterback in Brady that bought in and set the tone for others too, but let’s not act he inherited a can’t miss prospect in Brady, who was a sixth round pick. The Patriots ranked 6th, 1st & 2nd in defense those first 3 Super Bowl titles, allowed Brady time to develop and become the GOAT from 2007 on when Brady won his first MVP. There was once an actual debate in the 00s between Peyton Manning and Brady. And I give Brady credit for winning with Bucs, first by having the football IQ to see how talented the Buccaneers were and not going to the Raiders, Chargers like some of teams he was rumored too. Unfortunately you hang on too long, you eventually won’t go out on top as Brady experienced his first losing season as starter last year, with a Brady unlike mentality where he ran off Arians then skipped out training camp over his wife, Brady lost the structure Belichick provided. And Belichick the GM has hurt Belichick the coach, his drafts of late have been head scratchers which has played a huge part in teams decline. Maybe Belichick will get his next team to join like Brady did the Buccaneers, a team with a quarterback in place like the Chargers, I like see it.

[@TippiGordon]

You should do a video on the most flourishing coaching tree. Gotta be the Andy Reid - Mike Holmgren - Bill Walsh - Paul Brown (and all its many branches) tree, right?

[@Dar-oi3tw]

Good video Fives, now can we see a video as to why Andy Reid's coaching tree is so successful. I mean the fact that one won a Super Bowl before he did with Doug Peterson and the Eagles in 2017-18 and that Andy faced both Peterson and Sirianni in the Playoffs last year, something Belichick never had the privilege of facing his own tree in most of a playoff run, proves that the Reid Tree is superior to the Belichick Tree even if Belichick has twice as many Super Bowl Rings as the Reid Tree put together. I mean the lowest branch of the Reid Tree is Ron Rivera and arguably Matt Nagy. Although lets be honest, both are screwed by infighting within the Reid coaching Tree since Nagy went insane after the Double Doink, which was caused by Peterson, and Rivera has to face Sirianni twice every year.

[@georgesouthwick7000]

The reason Belichick’s discipline have failed is because none of them had Tom Brady as their quarterback.

[@robb1068]

You mean none of these guys made the genius move of discovering his backup quarterback was a future Hall of Famer and generational talent?😂

[@bryantsteury8910]

The whole Flores and racism suit was such nonsense. "Bill Belechik called the wrong person with the same first name, and a last name two letters different, it's racism!!!"

[@jennyanydots2389]

Bill should give Thom one of his rings and service him extra for how much he did fer him.

[@nunyabusiness5075]

What about the two Superbowl rings Belichick got while being the defensive coordinator with the Giants? Does he have to give those away too?

[@williamli6200]

@@nunyabusiness5075 When his defense was asked to save the team at critical times, his defense failed, even played less than 20 minutes. The missing FG saved the Giants. Remember how Pats beat Bills? that is what he needed from his QB, with a cheap squad, against good teams.

[@jennyanydots2389]

@@nunyabusiness5075 If Billy Big Boi didn't have some of the best (certainly one of the best in LT) pass rush in NFL history that team isn't remembered for anything and Billy Big Boi is probably acting assistant managing his local Home Depot for a living by now.

If I remember right, Brian Flores was congratulated for getting the New York job before he even interviewed. Flores was scheduled to be interviewed later. That would mean Daboll already had the job and the Flores interview was just for appearances. That is if everything alleged is true.

[@moonjelly5]

Honestly, Brian Flores deserved better. He was a decent coach, but Miami was not the best place for him.

[@LordBeezleDwarf]

Big like! Youre the only person talkin about this reality! Crazy how none of them have been successful without tom brady who proved he really is the goat when he won in tampa

Belichick came off of one of the great coaching trees, but is turning out like Joe Gibbs, who was also an excellent coach for years, but did not produce any lineage of great disciples.

Gunna say what the football world has been terrified to admit. Belicheck had a losing record when Brady showed up, and hes had a losing record since he left. Its not just having greatest most clutch player of all time, he had him taking pay cuts, and he had the best free agents every year taking pay cuts to ring chase. Belicheck rode Brady into the Hall of Fame and his coaching system doesnt work for his disciples cuz it doesnt work for anyone including himself without Brady.

[@hanshawks5088]

Bill Walsh hired good people and wasn't afraid to let them succeed

[@graham5727]

Flores is an elite coach but nobody wants him because of him suing the nfl. As a vikings fan I won’t complain

[@josel.martinez7210]

BB owes his success to Brady! Losing record before Brady, and struggling since!

When will people not realize that both Tom and Bill needed each other for success. Also the SB in Tampa, Tom had a super team and another top ten of all time hc.

[@williamli6200]

Check how the greatest show on turf did in 1999 and 2000 playoffs. Brady needed defense, NOT Brady needed Belichick's defense.

Bill Belichick is the Sir Alex Ferguson of the NFL in that all his proteges have failed. In McDaniels, Garcia, O'Brien, Dabol, you have Bruce, Hughes, Robson and Scholes.

[@BiggusJakeus]

At least people take a chance on his coaches. No one wants Tomlin’s bums

[@michaelbugliosi735]

this is common in the real world. a single high performer (brady) makes an entire staff look way better than they actually are. when other organizations attempt to poach that "talent", they are ultimately disappointed

[@captainjack8319]

It is good and bad, for Belichick, if you think about it. It is good because it shows that he was likely the big brain in the room and he deserves the bulk of the coaching credit. It is bad because it shows that his talent acquisition was dubious, and it makes him look lesser than other great coaches who have good trees.
