There is at least one constant that’ll continue on and that’s ownership. Bob Kraft is getting up there but Jonathan has been right next to to him for quite a few years now. And Josh as head coach feels like a good transition when BB hangs up his whistle. Thing is can he be nasty enough when nasty is necessary? And the fabulous Tom-Josh synergy will be gone when Tom has had enough. Can only wait and see but I’m savoring and holding onto these great years with all my might.
This can't be overstated.
The Kraft's have too much at stake to let the team ever become mediocre. Don't get me wrong, you can say that about any NFL owner, but that team, stadium and the surrounding area are a license to print money and if the team is mediocre, all of that goes away.
As a season ticket holder from in the mid 1980's until the early 1990's, it's staggering what they have done to the area around the stadium and how much revenue it generates compared to that old shithole of a stadium next to an abandoned race track, the parking lot we tailgated in was dirt and potholes, looked like a back road in Morocco.
I guess my point is once Belichick steps down, they can't afford to hire a parade of buffoons like the Jets, Dolphins and Bills have hired as head coaches (and that latest Jets hire; good Lord, his eyes at that press conference still haunt me to this day).
Time will tell.
