Hypothetical Coaching Change Scenario

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

    • It just seems like people have sold themselves the idea he was going to come out great this season which I think is and was completely unreasonable.   I hope to see some improvement by the end of the season, but I really don't expect a whole lot until sometime next season. AR has got so much catching up to do.   I mean, there's no doubt AR's struggles are affecting MPJ, but MPJ has never been a great separater and seeing a defender right besides MPJ is probably stopping AR from throwing his way at this point.   Also, to be clear, I'm not saying AR will DEFINITELY be great, but I do think we DEFINITELY don't know yet and people need to be a lot more patient with him.
    • They both couldn’t throw or work on footwork. To ignore this could be a possibility with AR is naive. Let’s see where he is by game 7. Especially when it looks like he went backwards  from last season.
    • Other than the fact that Luck was a proven NFL QB in his prime and that his shoulder rehab lasted 3x as long.   
    • His lack of experience was a well-known risk in drafting him and it's a big reason why some were skeptical (including me). On the flip side, it sort of seemed like people disregarded his lack of experience then in favor of things like potential and upside. But now he's struggling and it's showing. If anything, it's validated those initial concerns.   I tend to think WR drops following a QB from college to the NFL says as much about the QB as it does the pass catchers. But they need to do better. I think it will take a combination of improvements from both AR and the pass catchers.   Not sure if something is up with MPJ, but some "regression" this year was very predictable. At one point, I actually thought he might leave in FA when faced with prospect of re-signing with a run-first team and a young QB who is still learning how to throw short and intermediate passes (the area he operates). But he stayed...and I am glad he did. But if it continues, there are going to be a lot of people blaming MPJ, which is pretty ridiculous, when you think about just 6 months ago, people were talking about how great of a contract it was and that MPJ was a legit WR1 with AR.  
    • Last week,Rams home game, Sofi looked like a 49ers home game. Dallas and Vegas are that way too.
