    I never really understood why people put this against Belichick. It’s not his job to make sure other coaches in the league are good lol.

    Belichick’s coaching tree is nothing more than a bunch of sleeper cells set to sabotage other NFL teams.

    McDaniel’s will get hired back by Belichick to be an offensive assistant in no time.

      It’s been a while since the Bill Belichick Sleep Agent theory has been updated but I’m pretty sure that we can call it debunked now. GM Bill continues to sabotage the Patriots and has for years now.

      Not even just the coaching tree either. How many patriots players who balled out in NE (not named Tom Brady) went on to be duds elsewhere? Ik it’s not all of them but it seems like it happens pretty often

    Not really. His first firing was enough to give us the picture. I don’t think you can burn the same branch twice. Well I guess Raiders did lol.

    Andy Reid has the best coaching tree among active coaches. But plenty of all-time great coaches had bad coaching trees.

    I’d argue it doesn’t, we already knew Josh McDaniel’s was a failure of a HC. Just because Mark Davis fell for it, doesn’t mean you should add it to the track record.

    The fact that Belichick’s assistants have been dogshit at HC’ing shows how good at keeping a culture and running a team Belichick truly is, cause I doubt any of these dudes were helping out all that much.

      The problem his assistants have is they try to act like Belichick, but if you don’t have the history of success Bill has you just come off as an unpleasant asshole.

    why do people talk about this "coaching tree’ thing as if it has any meaning whatsoever lol? it’s the most ridiculous thing.

    guys, bill belichick and josh mcdaniels are two separate human beings. you talk as if mcdaniels is a spawn of belichick who popped out of one of his ribs or something.
