[@dongrant5827]

I really hope BB does a podcast, show, whatever, where he just talks about football. Stream of consciousness, anything and everything he wants to say about history, strategy, personnel, etc. it would be captivating to listen to.

[@hostiletoxictomdowneyburne6469]

No way in hell, a coach like BB, comes back to a HC job.....to be micromanaged by Jerry Jones. Not a CHANCE in hell

[@TheForbiddenOne55]

Lol right. This makes no sense

[@stickman1742]

Apparently they are good friends so I wouldn't completely rule it out. Apparently Bill has stated that he's fine with just coaching and not handling all the personnel. The Cowboys have had a lot of talent so that may not be a problem. Jones has also given long leashes to head coaches. While Belichick does not put up with silly nonsense, I have watched him be quite open to other people's ideas. Everyone that has actually worked with him always says he is very accepting of ideas from others. He isn't nearly the 'my way or the highway' guy the media makes him out to be. Kraft has always been a bit of a strange owner, something Parcells wouldn't put up with, but Belichick handled it for 2 decades.

[@camreese]

You don't need those commas

[@r3tr0actiongamer24]

Jerry backs off if Bills hired, just like he didn’t bug Parcells

[@alexshirley6096]

Google Bill parcells

[@yakfarang8366]

Bill is killing it on the P McAfee show.

[@charliemirus4124]

Don’t rule out Dan Quinn being a one-and-done head coach after this year, especially with their new ownership wanting immediate results.

[@Raider870]

He's waiting for that giants job to open up guaranteed and im sure it'll open up next year 😂😂😂

[@Zeffpenguin]

Lol if they trade up for McCarthy it'll open up early into the season

[@amaddenmind4597]

I doubt it highly as a giants fan I love Bill but it's not happening

[@Raider870]

After his segment on the macafee show he's going to get a job next year seems like he didn't want a job right away

[@dirkdiggler5581]

He did a ton of interviews but didn’t get hired. Of course he want a job.

[@BigginsInAmerica]

With the report Robert Kraft influenced the Falcons to not hire Belichick, it's more likely Belichick goes to the Jets if Robert Salah is fired to stick it to the Patriots.

[@jluu6r]

Jerry butted heads with Jimmy and Parcells but he won’t butt heads with Belichick? 😂

[@RRR-ox9ud]

Jerry wants to win his way but better than the way Jimmy won… it's never going to happen! He will never let it go… Jimmy caught lightning in a bottle and Jerry can't help but to be jealous about it

[@joshuas4695]

Holy F!@#$% if he'd come back to us I'd clear house for him immediately 🙏🏽 Always loved him! 💙

[@nnjjee1]

Having BEEN great doesn’t = CURRENTLY great. And being professorial doesn’t equal leadership

[@stickman1742]

If you're talking about Bill, he is still a great head coach, no doubt about that. I wouldn't ask him to rebuild an offense just like I wouldn't ask Andy Reid to build a defense. Bill has always been the clear leader of the Patriots thru 6 sb wins. Everyone there knew who the team leader was. Of course Brady was the key leader on the field for the offense and the Pats also had players as leaders on defense and special teams. That is all by design, the design of Belichick. You need to have players that are leaders on the field, Bill doesn't put up with losers or idiots which is why the Boston media hates him.

[@ortforshort7652]

Once Saleh is fired after a 4-13 season, the Jets will do what they should have done this past off season.

[@whatudontunderstandis-gk9hk]

No comment on the rumor that Kraft tanked the Falcon's interview ?

[@markosekulic119]

God forbid nfl network persone say bad thing about owner. Cmon man. Everyone is biased in this woek.

[@justinmj6586]

Dallas is not the most talked about team, the league as a whole has evolved.

[@aaronhepler8070]

Owners want a Yes Man

[@rwmorey71]

I think Jerry Jones is the only owner who might give Bill a shot to coach.

[@oscarsanchez5503]

He’ll be coaching the Giants.

[@briancoburn5957]

If they wanted him, why wouldn't they just have made a change when he became available?

[@briannearey8902]

BB not having a job nor Vrabel is the biggest sign football has moved on from authoritative HC types for the most part,unless Kraft detests him that much that he was blackballed

[@jpete3027666]

A team ready to win now (Dallas or Philly) should have hired Bill. You don’t let Bill select talent anymore because he sucks at it. But give him a loaded team that just needs better coaching, do it!

[@ThisIsSpartttaaa]

Bill has always said he wants to be the head coach of the giants. He's waiting for that to be a vacancy mark my words.

[@bourbontrail565]

Sanders and Son in Dallas next year. JJ production. Bank

[@DV-id6di]

Hope he does!!!!!❤. He is FOOTBALL

[@matthewbarry4464]

There's no way you can compare off duty BB with on duty BB. If BB is working in media he's essentially off duty. You put him in charge of an NFL football team and now he's on duty. No comparison between the two.

[@BaltimoreBirds]

Bill gushed about Lamar and a lot of our Ravens on roster back before the 2022 matchup in New England. If Harbs goes against the grain in another big game and gets canned, Baltimore seems like a franchise that wouldn't mind Bill's hardass mentality, but would flourish under it. He was also the last coach of ours before we offically became the Ravens, aka the original Browns. Would be quite the "ending it with a bang" he'd like if he and EDC could co-exist.

[@martyenglishiii5099]

Not a stretch since there could be 3 HC openings in the NFC East.

[@bradmiller9121]

We aren't going to do this for another year are we. Each and every one of the "insiders" got it wrong this season. What makes you think they already have info for next season. Just stop it.

[@PeterWilliamson-nn9et]

I’m not downplaying the coaches importance in winning 6 championships, but 41 yr old Tom Brady and a brand new team I’d be lying to if someone told me he is so good he’s about to make it seven, or that championship game when he was down 30 points at the half and won , with a QB. like Brady you can almost go on cruise control, he’s that good.

[@FromSouthforkTexas]

Mike McCarthy didn’t get renewed beyond this upcoming season…. 🤔

[@frankskive]

It’s Payton it’s mcafee

[@markjackson6431]

he’s still 27 wins for overtaking Shula (26 to tie)

[@choossuck7653]

Said it the whole time. Only other place he wants to go is New York

[@LeesTexan]

Most people viewed Madden when he was a coach like Belichick is viewed, before he started broadcasting. Then look how that changed. And the Patriots with their Massage Parlor owner are going to be wondering in the desert for decades before they find the promised land again. For crying out loud, they fire the BEST coach in history because he had a few bad seasons. And they replace him with a DEI hire who has NEVER even been a coordinator and models himself after Belechick, the real thing!!!!!!!!! And I love how everyone says Bill could not handler personnel, YET, it was HE who handled the personnel that produced two decades of championships!!

[@pretzelhunt]

wondering? or wandering? were you going for a Biblical reference there and fudge it up? The Hebrews didnt "wonder about the desert" (Hmm, wow I wonder if there was water here at one time? Wonder what these tracks are?) lmao that's that Liberul educashun for ya, we need a real religious skooling in America like them Saudi Arabians have

[@joeking6309]

Jerry just cares about ticket and merchandise sales

[@liftme225]

id like to see him coach Rogers and the Jets

[@bobbehers1625]

Jones will never get Bill to work with him. Two big ego's both understood.

[@herbtapp3031]

Belichick is 72 years old can he give a team 4-5 years to rebuild if that is needed?

[@brettm4713]

Cowboys are going to be a shitshow… that’ll be a terrible job in a year. Man wants 16 wins in 2yrs…

[@settermanfishing]

New England needs to hire him back! JJ likes him 💛💙

[@broken_traumatized8168]

🐻⬇️💪

[@ethanwood533]

Belchileck to Washington

[@ss-dj6ht]

No mas ! No mas ! No mas ! No mas ! No mas ! No mas ! No mas! No mas ! No mas ! No mas !

[@johnmoran4469]

Bill will wait until an afc east job opens up. Buffalo or Miami. NE is going to see him 2x a year every year.

[@MoeAhmedquantum]

Dont worry BB will have the last laugh!

[@anthonyspinks2640]

Bill to Dallas he is giving Dak McCarthy et al the decks will be cleared no one can say they haven't been givin a chance 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇸🇮🇱

[@SonofStormblessed]

Everything you say Rich seems to completely miss the most obvious thing holding him back. Which is that he's 72 man. It's literally that simple. He's not gonna be a head coach again because he's too old now. I know you don't want to say it, but nobody wants a coach knocking on death's door. He should do media, that way he's a valuable resource to ALL OF US before it's too late.

[@georgieboy_htown4eva4eva]

I think him going to Dallas is highly unlikely. Jerry Jones won't give him the reigns. It's all hype for nothing. May the Cowboys sit in purgatory.

[@jpwjrnova92]

He will coach the eagles in 2025. Unless Siriani wins it all. Which won't happen ( I'm a die hard eagles fan)

[@dwx6618]

OMAHA

[@ShelbyBaby27]

Why does it have to be a HC and not a coordinator? The teams mentioned all lost coordinators.

[@ExiILe00]

Bill Belichick? More like Bill Unemployment Check.

[@TheForbiddenOne55]

...... ha.......

[@alfrancisco3053]

Bill is still gonna get paid this year by his former boss bc he had 1 more year left on his contract and they are guaranteed. Unless he settled out a buyout before he left New England which in either case got him Millions of dollars. So he's well off and now with espn having him host this year's NFL draft he's gonna showcase his wealth of knowledge and a network will hire him soon to either be an analyst/commentator or a play by play guy.

[@beaumac]

People tune in for interesting, not winning. That’s why the cowboys are the top rated team and will never get a ring.

[@edpreston8180]

There is a good reason no one offered B. a job.-his terrible decisions/record in the last 3-5 years. He had total control of all Patriot decisions and created the weakest roster in the AFC with terrible drafting. He hired a collection of stooges for OC and other jobs who had one of the worst offenses in the NFL. They destroyed Mac Jones’s career. His “brilliant” in game coaching produced one of the worst W/L records in the NFL the last 3-5 years. All coaches run out of answers or pridefully/arrogantly can’t adapt. B. is a prime example of this. The end of his career was like the beginning.

[@JACKXK]

He'll be coaching the Steelers.

[@EL_LeonFredo9]

Hell no 😂

[@varrick1226]

Maybe Belichick tanked after Brady went just to get out of NE. There's a reason why he and Kraft have fallen out. I think Bill loathes Kraft and Kraft is seedy we all know this.

[@nickfb92]

Why does Rich insist on peddling this Bill Belichick propaganda of him being the coach he used to be? Also, who’s gonna find a pro bowl/Hall of Fame worthy quarterback like Tom Brady that’s willing to make financial sacrifices for the betterment of his team around him? I haven’t heard of any current Pro bowl caliber quarterback in today’s NFL, other than Mahomes, that has taken a significant pay cut to make sure the weapons around him on both sides of the ball get paid fairly

[@lifesaver3499]

did mahomes really take a paycut or die he just restructure his contract?

[@alexw903]

Just give up bill is a joke at this point

[@slicksalmon6948]

Nope. He’ll never coach again.

[@FormerHumanX]

Teams weren't interested in Belichick in 2024. They aren't going to be interested in 2025 when he is 73 years old and been away from coaching for a year.

[@elscruffomcscruffy8371]

Rich, would you honestly still be working at 73yrs old? Let the guy retire! He has contributed enough to the game we all love. Let him retire, or pick up an Analyst job. But 73 is too old to continue coaching

[@lifesaver3499]

only 20 000 views..hope rich eisen is getting paid a lot to disappear on roku

[@UpTown584]

I like the comment below: "Bill Unemployment Check! (good one!) I have been saying the same thing, since last year, when these birds started talking about Bill going to a new team: Thanks, but no thanks!

[@RB-pi3jl]

Belichick may have had a tv presence at one time way back when, but his post-game talks as coach (if he talked) were terrible.

[@jacobdionne4334]

Casual.

[@jasontibbetts9981]

The guy will be 73 years old, which coach won anything at 73? What about Bill's last 10 drafts makes anyone think he can build a team? Could he come in for 1 year and maybe coach the Cowboys? Sure, he can't do worse than Mike McCarthy, but beyond that would be silly giving a guy his age, who has drafted no one, and seemed out of touch with the players a franchise that needs to be rebuilt.

[@amaddenmind4597]

Bill is not getting another job this is it as far as hc in nfl

[@gregoryphillips3969]

Joe Gibbs won 3 Super Bowls with 3 different quarterbacks. Belichick before he got to England and did not have Tom Brady and after Tom Brady left New England is way under 500 as a coach. That's a fact. If Jerry Jones doesn't screw up the Cowboys Jimmy Johnson has at least 4 or 5 Super Bowls with a team that he built from a personnel standpoint and coached. Vince Lombard did unbelievable things in Green Bay and never got busted by the NFL for doing things he should not have been doing like Belichick did. Belichick is a very good defensive coordinator who got lucky that he had the best quarterback of all time to play on the team he was coaching.

[@manservantchris]

This is 100 percent the right take.

[@jeffwhitehead7990]

he won’t be in the NFCe…

[@madnessontheisland]

Bill the GM is keeping Bill the Head Coach from a getting a gig. No real surprise.

[@NosyNorseman]

Sry but he’s done…he won’t be back…

[@chanorando]

I'm late to this party but IMO, Belichick should never again be trusted with a HC position. He's borderline megalomaniacal, and a cancer in any position of authority. I would hire him as a DC with very minimal authority only. He's also a HUGE hypocrite. He expects EVERYONE ELSE to be accountable and team driven so, WHY ISN'T HE??!! It's abundantly clear that Belichick is a brilliant Narcissist. He's the best defensive and tactical mind the game has ever seen, but he has NO respect for offense and offensive players, and NO respect for the Owner that employs him. He has repeatedly undermined what was best for the team while claiming otherwise. Sitting Malcolm Butler in SB 52 threw ALL Players under the Bus! How was that best for the TEAM?! Players are human and all different. It's a HC duty to manage personalities and CREATE an atmosphere of SUCCESS for overall TEAM benefit! Ruining the starting QB consciously or unconsciously because he isn't "your guy" is Textbook NARCISSISM and absolutely NOT what is “BEST” for the TEAM! Belichick does what is best for his EGO! He may have cut his football teeth under Navy Athletics, and he may THINK he runs a team modeled on the military, but he does NOT! He FORGOT that EVERY serviceman swears an oath and is accountable to a higher authority! The Admiral or General, may not agree with or even respect The President, but it's their duty to their country to follow orders and to NEVER undermine or subvert “The Boss” or the MEN under their command. Belichick repeatedly does both. IMO, players were willing to endure the "Belichick Way" because they believed TB12 ensured a legitimate SB shot year after year. Yes, the defenses were equally important to the repeated success, but The GOAT was the GLUE that held it all together. When the glue dissolved, it unsurprisingly fell apart.

[@neilouellette3004]

Belichick really left the Patriots a terrible mess. No team is gonna hire Belichick. Overrated with a under .500 average winning record w/out Brady. He's in the NFL's rear-view mirror.

[@jacobdionne4334]

He left them with a top 5 defense and the 3rd pick in the draft. Soooo terrible

[@SoulKingKurosaki]

If he can just let go of the controlling ego of his, he can get a coaching job easily. Him as a coach ain't the problem. It's just his dictatorship way and how he wants total control. You can't be two things at once. If you wanna be coach, be coach. If you wanna be GM then just be GM. Don't put so much on your plate that you know you can't handle
