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)?
If Belichick leaves/retires/gets fired, the new coach will bring in his guys to coach, it’s what happens so it’s safe to say that everyone on the coaching staff is gone if Belichick is gone.
