Belichick is a football genius. I miss Pete Carroll as much. Carroll understands and treats people in a way that is inspiring.

If you're a GM, you don't want to hire Belichick & have him take over your job responsibilities to "buy the groceries". Belichick is 71, so if you're in a tear-down & rebuild mode, and looking for a coach for the next 10-20 years, it makes actuarial sense to hire a younger coach. So the market for Belichick narrows down to a "win-now" team that thinks they're good enough to be a Super Bowl contender, but for some reason wants to fire their current coach, and also doesn't mind throwing their current GM under the bus as well.

[@A_Knuckledragger]

And I think we can also agree that Bill put himself in this position. And that's leaving alone his record without Brady.

[@matthewbarry4464]

The reasons why BB isn't a HC has all to do with his age than anything else. I guarantee you if he was 10 years younger he'd have a HC/GM job on an NFL team. No owner would want to upend their team for a HC that may stay, at most, 5 years knowing the HC that follows couldn't hold a candle to the previous HC. Said owners has seen most coaches in the BB tree can't coach like BB. It'd be a dead end for what? A small chance you get the GOAT coach to take a team to the SB in 5 years w/o the GOAT QB? No way.

The talent on the Patriots is decidedly worse since Brady left, without Brady, Belicheck seems to be unable to attract quality players.

[@mctaguer]

As much criticism/scrutiny as the Patricia/Judge thing got, it didn't get enough. It was the single-biggest, strategic-level coaching blunder I've ever seen. Any other coach would've been told 1) Hell no, you're not doing that (or, appropriately, "it's 110% on you now") and 2) sure as hell gotten fired for it. That Bill not only did it, blatantly failed and then WANTED TO RUN IT BACK says a LOT about why no one wants to hire him and put up with Bill being Bill. If anyone hasn't noticed (esp. during Bill's EXCRUCIATING, excusefest pressers that weirdly became his NORM during the past 3 seasons), BILL IS NEVER WRONG. THIS, and being over 70, and probably wanting, oh, at least $15M/per are why he doesn't have a job. It's not hard to figure out AT ALL.

I don't know why this is surprising to anyone.

If a desperate team wanted to sign him to a cheap, short-term contract then maybe, but it didn't happen. He needs to retire.

[@madnessontheisland]

No one questions what he was and what he knows, but times have changed. The reasons he'll never coach again are 1) he clearly doesn't possess the ability to relate to and properly motivate this new generation of players who were raised under positive re-enforcement rather than Bill's classic negative re-enforcement methods and 2) he is a terrible evaluator of talent while also demanding to be the team's GM. No NFL team is signing up for the Darth Bill, post-70, last hoorah revenge tour train fire because it's going to absolutely sink and destroy the franchise that buys into it and set them back half a decade or more.

I'm not saying that Belichick couldn't win again in the right situation (accepting a GM who he isn't the boss of would be the big one), but this was about two minutes of "Bill Belichick screwed up the Patriots over the last few years" and seven minutes of "He should be a coach somewhere because he tells good stories." (Again, I think he probably could be successful in another setting, but talking for four hours about a game 30 years ago doesn't necessarily mean you can make it work now...I wouldn't be surprised if Tiger Woods could give a shot-by-shot recounting of his first Masters, but that doesn't mean he's winning it this year.)

Let me be more clear, Mac Jones is a worse than Zach Wilson. At least the latter had some velocity and chemistry with his mum’s friends.

Same as when Brady led the entire NFL in TD's passing in only his 2nd season. How about when Brady lighted up Carolina in the (03) SB win. How about 01 where The Pats went from a 28th ranked offense to 6th overnight in 2001 with Brady? Funny how McDaniels was a total bum everywhere else

A reality check! Brady made Belichick!

[@thokim84]

When was the last time he was head coach of a playoff team that didn't have Tom Brady on it?

[@OldManInternet]

Nobody retires from the NFL: Everybody is told, in one way or another, that it is time to leave. That applies for coaches and players, no matter how highly lauded they were in their prime.

When you leave a job and your employer trashes you, no one is going to hire you. You saw Bob Kraft in the Apple Documentary damn him with faint praise in public. I am sure Kraft is trashing BB behind closed doors to the other owners.

Rich seems to have forgotten the rhetorical question, “what have you done for us lately?” Mac Jones’ second year seemed to be more about Belichick trying to re-teach his coaching proteges about how the offense should be handled than by actually developing a good quarterback, with the result that Mac fell apart and couldn’t recover. And Belichick’s failure to recruit and develop talent in the post-Brady era resulted in the Pats’ losing record the past two years. Teams won’t hire a HC with a losing record unless it’s at a lesser position like a coordinator, which Belichick probably wouldn’t accept.

I’m not even close to surprised. Knowing everything about football is only part of the job.
