Genuinely curious as many folks are calling for Belichick to leave or be replaced. A large part of the historical success of Belichick in NE has been around the significant coaching and personnel infrastructure he’s developed over the past 20 years. He also seems only to want to work with those he trusts and has worked with in the past(which why familiar faces like BoB, Patricia, McDaniels, and others are always hanging around in some capacity or another).
So what happens if Belichick leaves (or is fired) and ends up coaching elsewhere? How much of the existing coaching staff in NE leaves to work with Belichick elsewhere? Does Jerod Mayo stick around or leave for head coaching opportunities elsewhere? Do we lose all the coaching talent on defense (i.e. Belichick’s kids)?
I believe Mayo recently signed a large contract and rejected a head coaching job somewhere else a year or two ago. Him and Steve have been putting out consistently good defenses with strong scheming so I think they’re both safe. I’d guess Mayo is the next in line for HC.
BOB just got here and hasn’t really had time to get the offense rolling and has had a very poor offensive roster to work with. I could see him leaving but I think he’ll probably be kept.
The offensive line has been terrible and I think Klemm has a pretty big role in that, the talent level is also extremely low so I could see them giving him a pass.
Like someone previously mentioned, most of the dynasty coaches are already somewhere else or retired. I don’t see any huge changes if Bill is traded, dropped or retired. My hope is that they keep him as HC and find a more offensive minded coach to handle GM responsibilities
