Because the Patriot Way only works when the coach actually commands respect. Josh McDaniels and Matt Patricia in particular are both dipshits. Players don’t respect them and they’re too arrogant and short-sighted to even notice it (it’s absolutely laughable that the players in Vegas had to basically hold an intervention for McDaniels about his behavior and that was ultimately what cost him his job). Whatever Belichick’s flaws are he’s won 5 SBs in NE. He commands respect for entirely that reason.
