Why Patriots Coaches Fail Outside of New England: Bill Belichick's Complicated Coaching Tree

[@SetTheEdge]

Yes, Brian Flores is doing well in Miami (and may get a video of his own after the season) and the jury is out on Joe Judge in NY. I'm rooting for them too, but judging from those who came before out of the Belichick tree, they still have their work cut out for them.

He hit the nail on the head. In the future, Matt Patricia and Bill O'brien will get highlighted for flunking out of their towns in the same season. But, given that both those teams are now being revealed to have player attitude problems, perhaps the culture was just too broken to fix. Where as, Judge and Flores have adopted much younger teams/players, yet to reach a stagnant rut.

Bill Belichick wasn't like that at the start of the dynasty. He wasn't as strict, he was more loose, and he had some splash signings early on. He had to earn what they eventually became and he built the so called Patriot way over time. It became a well oiled machine as the years and wins went on. Now, any player comes in ready to work and knows what's expected, but that kind of respect can't happen overnight. Plus, Bill had Tom Brady who embodied his philosophy and led the team to buy in. That's why what Matt Patricia did and acted like was so ridiculous. He comes in like he owns the place and hasn't won shit as a head coach. These coaches try to emulate Bill so much that they think the respect that the league has for him just comes along with their imitation. You have earn it as Bill did. That's why I'm glad to see Flores finding his own way and kicking ass in Miami.

I'd argue that Belichick didn't begin to find real success until he figured out he couldn't be Bill Parcells. While Belichick held on to some of the Parcells' type of interactions with players, he modified it to fit his personality. More than anything, Belichick simply knows more football than just about any current head coach. He's a huge student of the game, and is more of a collaborative leader than some may think. Belichick is the only NFL coach I can think of who will change his offensive and defensive schemes to fit the players he has rather than try to make square pegs fit in round holes. That takes a kind of knowledge and confidence most HCs simply don't have, and Belichick doesn't seem to have any interest whatsoever in people reveling in how much of a genius he is. Flores, to his credit, seems to have come into Miami not trying to be a Belichick clone, and perhaps it's the same for Judge. It's also interesting that Romeo Crennel didn't seem to be worth mentioning. And, based, on his coaching record, perhaps really appropriate.

[@PaulGaither]

@@EJD339 - Yes. Walsh was the OC for Cincinnati in the 70's. When Brown retired and the promoted the DC instead of Walsh, Bill left to the NCAA and Stanford. Meanwhile, the Bengals continued to use his playbook. When SF hired Walsh and Super Bowl 16 was 49ers vs Bengals, it was pretty much the same teams in a mirror match. Sam Wyche was the backup QB for Walsh in the 70's and later became his assistant HC with SF. Wyche would then become the Bengals HC in the mid 80's and would face Walsh in Super Bowl 23. Again, the system and styles would face off in a mirror match. Bill Walsh got his NFL start with the Raiders and gives a lot of credit to Al Davis, including how to run practice and many other ideas. Mike Shanahan worked for Al Davis and the Raiders before going to the 49ers and learned under Walsh as well. Shanahan was the OC for the 49ers after Holmgren left and helped SF with the Super Bowl in 1994 before going on to coach the Broncos. As a result, the Packers vs Broncos Super Bowl was essentially two 49ers and Bill Walsh coaching tree teams facing off in yet another mirror match. Kyle Shanahan, Mike's son, faced off just this Feb. 2020 against Andy Reid in a third generation of that Walsh coaching tree and similar schemes/concepts/philosophies. Yes, the game has adapted over the decades, but the core principals have remained. WR route combinations, QB triangle reads, approaches to practice, scripting plays and so much more all came from a combination of All Davis, Paul Brown and Bill Walsh.

Nice work. I just want to add one thing. Belichick has been exceptional with identifying role players. This allows him to be specific with his roster moves. He always knows what he gets from a player and what he needs to replace. Reason I say this is that I believe he hires coaches the same way. They are all amazing in their roles as coordinators. Belichick gives them limited responsibility and the succeed because they were set up to do so. Pretty sure you got the most important parts in there though.

[@The-Big-Boss]

So essentially the patriots were the perfect storm from getting the best quarterback ever, who was essentially a coach on the field and took pay cuts so the rest of the team would stand under salary and foster its winning culture, an owner who was willing to let the coach be the GM, and the G.O.A.T. Coach.

We may need to keep an eye on Brian Daboll, he will more than likely be offered a HC position after the type of year he has had as an OC with the Bills.

[@gordontaylor2815]

Didn't happen in the 2020 offseason, but if Daboll succeeds in rehabbing Mitch Trubisky over the 2021 season (and that second preaseason game was a good starting point), then a head coaching job is all but guaranteed in his future. The only real questions are "Will he take Mitch with him to the new team?" and "Will he wait to get the Bills a Super Bowl ring before leaving?"

Seems kinda simple why, none of those assistants had Brady at qb. Bb is really good at coaching defense and Brady is really good at playing qb and clutch. So the defense always keeps the game in reach and gets clutch stops when they need to most and Brady always does the same for the offense. Plus they always had more cap money since Brady took less and bb used that as leverage to make the other players take less too.

I think one key quote is “I’ve taught you everything you know, but I did not teach you everything I know”. Sometimes pure geniuses are not great at explaining their genius onto others. Along with other factors such as bill having complete control where a lot of his disciples didn’t. Bill having elite qb play consistently where a lot of others didn’t and lastly bill commands discipline and respect both because of his consistent behaviour throughout the lineup as well as finding players that will buy into that mentality. You can wear the sleeveless shirts and the visor caps and have the pencil on your ear but you can’t command the room like bill can.

[@digitalgr8ness]

The Mike Holmgren tree actually starts with Bill Walsh. Holmgren was the QB coach under Bill Walsh when the 49ers won the Super Bowl in 1988. He then became OC under George Siefert in 1989, after Walsh retired. They went on to win the Super Bowl that year. Siefert was Defensive Coordinator under Bill Walsh for two Super Bowl wins in 1984 and 1988 before taking over as Head Coach and hiring Holmgren as OC. Without Walsh there's no Siefert or Holmgren. Walsh is the tree. The rest are branches. The group that branched out from Holmgren is pretty impressive. Andy Reid, John Gruden, and Doug Pederson have all won Super Bowls. Pretty impressive.

[@infinityquartz4744]

As a Dolphins fan, we treat Flores as the pats treat Bellicheck. He came into the organization and turned the worst defense in the league last year to the #1 this year. And turned what everyone called the worst team in nfl history and turned us into playoff contenders and has so much love for the team he was about to fight the bengals sideline. He is our Beliicheck

[@AidanS99]

Everyone always forgets that Belichick earned the respect the patriots give him. He was much looser and much more easy going earlier on in his patriots career. The difference is that he didn’t demand perfection until his team reached that level. In the almost undefeated 2007 season he ripped into his team after every victory. Every small mistake he saw was emphasized in the film room on Monday. Brady and his teammates said that it was the players getting their “humble pie”. And by that point the players already respected and trusted Bill’s coaching. And because the veterans (especially Brady) respected Bill’s coaching, new players would fall in line.

They fail because they do not have Tom Brady making all those plays in the clutch, and providing leadership and that commitment to winning, and a culture of excellence.

Meanwhile Tom Brady proved that he will still win anyway regardless of Bill Belichick, and regardless of any coaching tree is involved.

The Pats 20 year dynasty really was an extreme aberration. The sooner teams get that through their heads, the better off they'll be. It took the GOAT QB to buy into the GOAT coach's philosophy for the success to occur. Without a highly coachable QB, who responded well to authority and took massive pay cuts all to win, there's no chance any organization can replicate what the Pats did. It was really the right people at the right time that this all happened.

@@seriously6654 You can be great at coaching and have a brain of Einstein, but you NEED the players to execute plays properly and in a timely matter. People been defense/offense coordinators and the plays they put in for the players to know, they have to crack open the case. It isn't rocket science. If you have watched every single snap of the ball from Cam, Jarred, and that other jarhead, you can clearly tell the difference in between the minds of all the players that surround Cam. We have all seen his not-so great throws. His in-depth chart of him recognizing the fields and how far he should throw has significantly drop since he got released by the Panthers. I commented a while back of how we should utilize Cam and progress him more and more IN the pocket and what plays he can practice to be a better QB than the ones that are getting drafted this year. This is a different system and he is clearly not used to it. But it is a profession and it backs up a lot of arguments. Belichick should of already had a game plan when Brady was going to exit Foxborough. So why not draft a 2015 MVP QB? Sure enough of it was a while back but hell with it! He has a good name for himself than his other back ups for sure. So when you say Brady was the system, he had spent 20 years serving as a QB for the patriots without ever getting benched.
