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)?
It depends on who the next HC is?
If Mayo were the HC I could see him retaining BOB and Steve. If Vrabel were the HC, I think Steve is less likely.
If Bill goes somewhere else Steve could go with him.
I think it unlikely Mayo or BOB go with Bill anywhere.
If there is a new HC, they will fire everyone on the staff and bring in there guys. It’s what happens in every sport.
