I heard this morning part of an interview with Joe Montana who hinted that part of the reason Belichick didn’t get a job is that the game passed him by. Aside from being a terrible
GM and being hard to work with, perhaps he is just too old. Look at who is getting hired, the young guns.
 
I don't know if it's so much the game has passed Belichick by as that his age makes him a short-term fix by definition. An owner has every right to think "I'm going to have to upend my entire organization for Bill and even if we win, I'll have to do it again by 2026 or 7." It's a very big bet into a very small window for payoff.
 
Not surprising, but Dan Quinn is not retaining Bieniemy in Washington. I wonder what chances he has left.

I would guess running backs coach is in his future. If nothing else, Reid will provide a soft landing spot like he did with Nagy.

Belichick would be a great coach at a service academy or some Division III program where he could just concentrate on the football aspect and not have to worry about NIL or the transfer portal or all the other stuff impacting football these days.

He doesn't need the money. But I'm sure his ego wouldn't let him.

Jets should have fired Saleh. Then Belichick and Rodgers could have one more crack at it together.

Actually, other than Belichick's history with the franchise that would be a tremendous fit.

I wouldn't be so sure. I could see him settling down in Annapolis for five or six years and being a savior of sorts. Midshipmen would run through walls for a guy like that. Chet Gladchuk would never hire someone who'd have more power than him on campus, though.

If Belichick decides he wants to coach Navy (not an impossible thought, if unlikely), his campaign for the job would begin at a level far above Gladchuk. Like, say, with the Chief of Naval Operations.
 
Sean Payton had about as bad a year a coach can have. He finally reached his true destination - pariah status.

Actually, you don't get the transfer portal off your back wherever you go. If you have a stud, I don't care if he's at an academy or D-III, he will be contacted and offered.
