I am wrong way too often, but the way that article depicts things is very much what I believed was happening. Every bit of it.
Patricia and Judge were exposed, almost immediately as frauds. I’m amazed that Belichick didn’t act sooner back during training camp when it was obvious that the professional football players on the New England Patriots were aghast at what they were presented with for coaches. And you can’t be a professional and be OK with KNOWING failure is coming when you also know what needs to happen to fix it. It’s just too difficult for the highest performers.
Can you imagine the conversations had amongst the player???
They KNEW they were wasting a year of their careers from the first week.
Yep. And we're not necessarily going to cut ties with either.
Bill is loyal to "his guys". By that, I mean his fellow coaches and scouts-- the inner circle, not the actual players
because being loyal to players means you are almost certainly going to screw your salary cap up and become
a losing franchise.
And there have been examples of him sticking with people that were under fire several times. . He will not fire
one of his guys due to public pressure no matter how it might appease the critics and make him look better. While it
seems obvious to us that Patricia and Judge sucked as Offensive coaches, Bill will make his own judgement of how it went
sideways which will not be influenced by what we, the media or the players think.
I sincerely hope that his analysis reveals both of them need to find their way elsewhere, but I'm not going to expect it.
Bill is a military thinker and will not listen to the grunts and civilians demanding that a lieutenant be court-martialed as if
their opinions are relevant. Even though we have the best interests of the team at heart, Bill's best attribute is that seeks his
own counsel first and foremost, then will question his inner circle. Then HE will decide.
That's how we roll. Six rings.
