    It’s very simple when you think about it.

    Bill Belichick perfected a system of coaching over his years and one that entirely worked for him. To be a coach under him in that system you had to buy into his ways, it works when he’s head honcho but not when you try to emulate Belichick. He found just the right puzzle pieces and made them work. He didn’t need the hot up and coming coaching talent.

    Because he was completely protected by Tom Brady for 20 years. Outside of him, he’s a below average coach. Facts is facts.

    I just don’t think Bill really tries to coach his coaches the way Andy does, I think Bill more leads by example. And you can’t lead a team the way Bill does without having the respect he does.

    Maybe because there’s no secret that other coaches could copy and build off of. The genius of Belichick is singular and ambiguous. He knows how to make effective adjustments and how to create schemes that no one truly sees coming. How would anyone else emulate that unless they copied everything from his brain?

    They don’t have the greatest QB of all time playing at a discount every year and putting up top 10 offenses with $4M WR’s

    He picked guys who were good at very specific jobs, but terrible in all other aspects to not threaten him as HC. But these incompetent lackeys are so arrogant and incurious about the game that they never improved or adapted. Which was kind of the point of hiring them in the first place. But it leads to guys like Bill O’Brien trying to run every offense they’ve worked with for the past decade like it’s still the mid-2000s. Or Patricia and McDaniels being abusive dictators because they thought that’s what Bill’s secret was. But they tried to do it all themselves rather than hiring a group of highly specialized sycophants to do their bidding like Bill did. If Bill was abusive, it was probably to keep these morons in their place. They do it because that’s how they think a HC should act.

    It turns out that the Patriot Way isn’t transferable basically boils down to “Have the greatest QB of all-time.”
