Bill playing 8D chess to get McDaniels and Jimmy G back to NE.

They can’t all have Tom Brady be their quarterback.

You know a tree is rotten if Bill O’Brien is the best by a mile

Andy Reid has the best coaching tree among active coaches. But plenty of all-time great coaches had bad coaching trees.

Literally everyone knew McDaniels was a poopoo platter after the Colts debacle and what he did in Denver.

The Flores one is interesting to me. He took over a pretty bad Dolphins team. He had one bad year with them then gave them their first back-to-back winning seasons ('20-'21) since '02-'03.

Everyone is anointing Mike McDaniel as some guru (which might be true) when he them the exact same 9-8 record they had the year before under Flores.

McDaniel is a good coach but Flores was a successful young coach by any measure and by no means deserved to be fired.

Bro was fired the day he signed

No way he was finishing a 6-year contract without getting axed

only two sith, a master and apprentice, there can be, no less and no more.

why do people talk about this "coaching tree’ thing as if it has any meaning whatsoever lol? it’s the most ridiculous thing.

guys, bill belichick and josh mcdaniels are two separate human beings. you talk as if mcdaniels is a spawn of belichick who popped out of one of his ribs or something.

Bellichicks assistants when they don’t have Brady carrying their bum ass.

I mean Bill himself contributes badly to his coaching tree without Brady. One mediocre season after another. And that’s exactly what they all copy (apart from the pre-implosion Texans)

Bill’s record is ugly without Tom Brady. Just saying…

NFL head coaching records of Belichick’s former assistants:

Al Groh: 9-7 (.563), no playoff appearances

Bill O’Brien: 52-48 (.520), 2-4 playoff record

Brian Flores 24-25 (.490), no playoff appearances

Nick Saban 15-17 (.469), no playoff appearances

Eric Mangini 33-47 (.413), 0-1 playoff record

Josh McDaniels: 20-33 (.377), no playoff appearances

Jim Schwartz: 29-51 (.363), 0-1 playoffs

Romeo Crennel: 32-63 (.337), no playoff appearances

Matt Patricia 13-29-1 (.314), no playoff appearances

Joe Judge: 10-23 (.303), no playoff appearances

Total: 237-343 (.408), 2-6 playoff record

Is there any NFL coach with 4+ branches who can top this steaming pile of shit?

Hey McDaniels, I’mma let you finish but I just wanted to say that Patricia was by far the worst Belichick hand-me-down in history. You’re both complete trash, but MP was trashier.

You mean the “carried by Brady” tree?
