Hypothetical Coaching Change Scenario

[jackbutton96]

Okay, so let's say somewhere near the end of the season/playoffs that a huge rift is formed between the Patriots management and coach Belichick, resulting in him being fired when the season is over. Shortly thereafter, the media reports that Belichick has expressed an interest in coaching the Colts. Do you want him to be our coach?

[bavanlan]

Where do we sign?

how about we bring in the ghost of al davis

No thank you (to the person not the coach).

[GoColts8818]

Yes anytime you can get someone who is the best at the business at what they do you take it. With that said no way BB and Bill Polian ever work together and BB wouldn't want our job because of Bill Polian but I guess we are willing to suspend the reality enough to think that the Pats would ever fire BB I guess we cant suspend the BB/Bill Polian relationship reality too.

Too soon, man.

Back on topic, yes. We should without question hire Belichick...but I can't see any situation where there is a rift between him and the Pats organization

I'd take Belichick in a heart beat he is the best coach in the NFL and probably the best this past decade

[shakedownstreet]

Too soon, man.

a thought that occurred to me about 5 seconds after posting. oh well, it's meant with all due respect

Well, the man did get his start as a member of the Baltimore Colts coaching staff. So yeah I'd be down with the Hoodie. Just be sure to tell him no cameras. ;)

As GoColts8818 suggested, in the magical realm where he could work with the Colts existing FO - having similar input on player personnel decisions as Dungy had - it would be a dream come true. The best management team in the history of the NFL. But just swapping his group for our existing group would be an incredibly disruptive and essentially lateral move. You'd look up, find that PM's career had wrapped up during the tumult, and perhaps learn the hard way that BB actually needs a talented QB to win games in the modern NFL too.

would you trade manning for belichick?

Oddly enough, it would have been a really funny joke before today....

And, while that may be a possibility, I think BB and Peyton have the intellect and drive to make it work immediately. If the Hoodie were available, it would be dumb not to sign him.

[-JJ-]

BB & PM could certainly gameplan together.. however....would BB give PM full reins on the field like he has...I don't think so.

:cuss: NO!!!!

[Great Dane]

:cuss: NO!!!!

It's not like Brady and Manning can be on the field at once...makes you think...

Actually I want the blue sweater vest -- I'd like to see Tressel take the reins, that's just me.
