Thanks Baldy! These are great

I like this age and experience being added at the coaching positions. This can only help CMF become a more complete head coach. Love the hires!

Any team in football would have taken him. He could have gone anywhere. He stayed, he lost and was a failure his final years. Where was that Patriot work ethic and preparation model once Brady left? We assume he was just incredibly loyal to NE? He never rebuilt. He chose to lose Brady and he never won again. Say what you want about Tom leaving for greener pastures, but Bill put him out there. He was convinced he could reload and rebuild it all over again. He clearly could not.

But he never even sniffed a great team again. Brady turned around and won one and almost another. His legacy is he won with Brady and couldn’t without him. Brady’s legacy is he didn’t particularly need Brian. Sure it was a perfect string of events, but the seasons are there and they’ve never even been good since he left.

Belichick never made it to a championship game without Brady. His best ever status has a huge Brady asterisk.
