Lets try and get some perspective. Whatever happens with Bill and the Pats, we should try and remember the excellence that we all enjoyed over the last 20 years. We somehow came to take for granted winning the AFC ( which we did 9 times ) and 9 Superbowl appearances with 6 titles… None of that happens without Bill. The Bill-Brady combo was a powerhouse, and we all benefitted. Whether Bill goes somewhere else, JUST LIKE BRADY DID, we should lay off the daily beatings. 3rd winningest coach in history, he deserves our respect.
My issue is that people are reacting like we have a BB Jr in waiting if we fire him. We are putting a lot of faith in Mayo to be a HC. People don’t realize BB is very intertwined in every aspect of the football operations. Losing him would be a big step back in general running of the team. He has built up the origination from ground up, so he’s essentially the backbone of the team. So we need to be really careful if and when he’s gone. It’s going to be like Apple without Jobs. Not saying Tim Cook didn’t succeed, in fact, he is doing tremendously well, but it was good that Apple groomed him. Do we have that in Mayo?
