Bill Belichick

one theory is that people view Belichick as a cheater and control freak. as to the former, i suggest that there are people in the league that don't want to see Shula's record broken by a serial cheater so he might not be given the chance to do so.

Falcons hire Morris as coach, pass on Belichick

The Falcons have hired Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris as their new head head coach after a search that included 14 candidates, including Bill Belichick.
www.espn.com www.espn.com

Something is definitely up. The Falcons just hired Raheem Morris instead of the 6-time Super Bowl winning GOAT NFL coach.

It’s not like Morris is some up-and-coming coaching star. Bucs fans know. Dude has already shown that he most likely doesn’t have it as an NFL head coach. Crazy thing is that he was already the Falcons interim HC back in 2020 and didn’t exactly pull an Antonio Pierce.

Bill Belichick just isn’t in demand. When they’re falling all over themselves to hire Jim Harbaugh and when they’re even hiring retreads like Morris, what else can you say?

brady covered up a lot of his faults. hes a HOF coach but the game passed him by and brady wasnt there to cover up the flaws in his drafting over the years and personnel decisions (Patricia was an OC there LOL a few seasons ago or last year). weve seen brady can make any team an instant contender and SB winner but Bill cant do the same. normally he would have retired, but he really wants the wins record.

game passed him by and hes gonna want total control when his drafting has been really suspect, his coaching hires have been suspect since brady left, and the handling of the QBs post Brady has been suspect.

I have no idea what his interviews have been like, but yeah, if he told the Falcons brass that he wants total control, then it makes sense that they would say, “Thanks, but no thanks.” Like you said, the rest of the league has seen what his “total control” looks like without Brady.

the game has changed and if you look the star coaches in the league, theyre all scheme masters/x and o guys with really the exception of campbell who is about to lose his OC to the commanders. the total control guy is done now.
 
So…looks like all the NFL head coach vacancies have been filled.

And Bill still doesn’t have a job.

No owner in their right mind would give him full control of the team as I’m sure he’d want…Guy is a great defensive coach but a horrible talent evaluator as witnessed by all the wasted draft picks since he was given the ability to buy the groceries so to speak…

Not sure any owner will hire him with the demands he will bring and I’m not sure he’d ever go back to work for someone as a DC so this might be the end of old Bills NFL tenure…..needs to go take his money and his young wife and go lay on a beach somewhere ….
 
Bill was the GM & in complete charge of player personnel & scouting.

Every player drafted & signed by the Pats was hand selected by Bill for the last 6 years.

Take a look at their roster & take a look at their drafts over that time, there's your answer as to why he's not getting hired by any team this season.

That’s not totally accurate. He might have a lot of pull but he was very outspoken on not drafting Mac Jones & got overridden. I think that’s what ending up being the final nail in the coffin. He didn’t speak to the man at all in the 2nd half of the season lol.

Belichick’s career record without Brady is 82-98. Everyone in the league knows that, and that’s why he’s currently unemployed.

What the NFL suspected and now knows:

He was an excellent DC

He had the incredible fortune of (miraculously) ending up with a consistently great QB in Tom Brady, who rarely missed games due to injury, in a league where great QB play is the number one requirement for winning

He was a good not great HC with minimal success developing an NFL coaching tree

A below average GM

Who is now 72

With questionable integrity

And doesn’t play well with others

Put that all together, and it’s not exactly a compelling case to be hired by a team to manage a 3 year turnaround project

…. But this is the NFL, the same league that hired Hue Jackson, Rod Marinelli and Adam Gase (twice). So anything is possible. It’s just not probable.

Hes basically a mumbling Al Davis at this point. Game passed him by.

I never understood with Bill how he simply couldnt draft a WR or evaluate WRs

Randy Moss wasnt him of course and Edelman, Welker, Amendola all played the role Brady preferred

Seemed to act with drafting WRs like it was forbidden

They had extremely high standards for receivers and it was probably the most complicated position to play on the team besides QB. It was all option routes. They prioritized drafting smart guys over talented guys. Lot of their receivers have gone on to be coaches.
