Tampa needs a head coach

Tom Brady was what provided success, not the coaching. I’m not sure how some people haven’t realized this.

Because Brady carried the entire coaching staff on his back lol

Maybe because Belichick was never that good either and was a Brady merchant?

Because Belichick is the talent and the other coaches just follow his system. The odd part is that a good chunk of Belichick's talent is his personality and style. The grumpy, no BS style worked for him because he is just a straight up football savant. Some of his assistants that got head coaching jobs were just trying to emulate him and they couldn't.

The same reason Bill Belicheck fell off, no more illegal cameras.

Cuz they didn’t have Tom Brady

Everyone here keeps parroting “lack of Brady” but if you think Joe Judge would’ve been a winning head coach if he had Brady you are an utter moron

I know we make fun of college football on here but like….that Nick Saban guy is a pretty good coach. Always wonder what he would’ve done with Drew Brees.

Sean Payton & Drew Brees, Mike Mcarthy & Rodgers, Brady & Belichick. All were once revered coach and QB combos but once the QB leaves, the coach doesn’t seem too good anymore

because none of them had Tom Brady?

Without Brady emerging , had Belichick been stuck with Bledsoe after that terrible contract handed out in 2000, I believe, he’s likely gone by 2002 or 2003.

I don’t think his style is plug and play with every team. It was just the right situation with QB to make everyone buy into it.

Because he is not really a good coach without Brady.

They didn’t have Tom Brady

It was Tom.

It’s funnier to imagine BB’s “coaching tree” as sleeper agents he sends out to sabotage other teams

Because you don’t have Tom Brady.

Cause they can’t take TB12 with them.

They’d have success as well if they cloned the Goat.

Maybe, just maybe all the Patriot’s success can be attributed to Brady’s magic… At this point we can’t take anything away from Belichick since it’s just impossible to argue what ifs. But all signs point to him getting carried to success by his QB. Nobody that was a part of that staff has had any luck since.. If Bill was really as good as he’s made out to be, why has he dropped so bad? I get you don’t have Brady, but you should at least be able to keep your team above average based on your credentials right?

I imagine there was a lot of haggling over that "imperfect" descriptor lol. Gotta think the first pass was "rotten" but they didn't want to be so aggressive.

Because it’s looking more and more like Belichick was the perfect head coach for someone who is wired like Tom Brady was but he’s not a perfect head coach in general.

Because they don't have Tom Brady. BB is well under .500 w/o Brady.

Because of brady

Because it's not a tree, it's a branch of the Parcells tree.

Well, to be able to coach and build a team like what the Patriots WERE, you need one of the best QBs that ever played the game buy in on your methods.

Because - IT. WAS. NEVER. BILL.

Cheating

It was Brady all along

The best football coach to come out of the Belichick tree isn't even a pro coach either. It's Nick Saban by a mile.

After reading his letter to Trump it became clear he's a halfwit who was carried by his QB.

Because Tom Brady carried that franchise for two decades. I bet Josh McDaniel's playbook was actually created by Tom Brady. And the reason it doesn't work in New England or whenever a coach leaves New England is because Tom Brady isn't running it. He probably knows exactly which plays work, how to adjust the lineup, etc etc.

Because they didn’t get Tom Brady as part of their severance

Bill himself is fruitless without Brady...

These guys thrived as UNDERLINGS, I mean, I could see that most of them weren't HC material. HC is different than OC or DC!!!!

Because teams hire these guys expecting results in 2 years when they are trying to build a system like the Patriots/Steelers/Packers. They sign a bunch of vets because they don't want rookies playing in year 1 and want to develop the "next man up" system when they can't or won't resign players which takes a long time to have that system in place and working.

No Brady obviously

Because his tree produces nothing but nuts.
