Good read. It certainly looks like Belichek is doing some very uncharacteristic things recently which seem to reinforce the idea that he's ready to burn it to the ground. Trading Garrapalo for nothing, being happy for his success, preparing assistants for upcoming interviews, etc. Interesting.

Doubt it

I'm guessing they'll get 2 more SB wins before Tom and Bill call it quits.

Fascinating article and clearly this Bill throwing this out there and is in line with his process of letting players that are still good go in lieu of a younger player. I am not suggesting Tom is done, but if Bill really like Garapolo and felt he was a good replacement for Tom, then he may have been ready to move on. We will know how true this story is when the season is over.

The 3 ego's finally have a ***** in the armour. I still think they find a way to manage. However, if they don't, this offseason could be interesting especially if they get knocked out of the playoffs next week or the week after.

Yee nailed it

Quote:

Don Yee, the agent for both Brady and former Patriots quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, also issued a statement regarding the ESPN story on Friday.

"I don't really know what to say; it's tough to have a response since it didn't appear to me to have one on-the-record quote. All I can suggest is don't believe everything you read," Yee said.

I could've written that article

They'll squeak out another SB due to their opponent's ineptitude. They're five for five in that category.

Patriots on the brink ...of another Super Bowl title.

Media hypes the hell out this ***** Oh, Tom got a boo-boo on his hand! How is he gonna survive! Oh, "dysfunction" & egos! Could this be the end? Is this the end? Is the dynasty over? Their coordinators are leaving. Bill must be out the door too!

Massively successful people oftentimes develop egos that encounter friction with other successful people that they interact with all the time. I'm sure there are disagreements and things aren't peachy all the time. But it doesn't mean that there will be a break-up. That is such a huge leap to jump to.

If the Pats win another SB, I could see Bill retiring. He's getting up there in age, is already the best coach in NFL history, and is losing his two longtime lieutenants

I don't think he retires. Work is his life

I think Belichick (ego) would like to try and win a ring WITHOUT Brady.

I think both Saban and Belichick are wired to keep doing the job for as long as they have the energy to do it in the way that they think it needs to be done. That said, how these two think it should be done requires a ****-ton of energy. Based on past coaches, that energy level seems to fall off near 70. I think he'll grind out 3-5 more years.

This is not a good idea.

After trading away Brissett and Garopolo, I do not see it
