Dallas is a problem due to Jerry and Philly is a problem due to Roseann but the Giants should be near the top of your list.

While I would love #6, why would Bill hate the Jets? That's like saying the Globetrotters hate the Washington Generals.

Bill and Jerry are tight, and he constantly praises Jerry and Stephen on TV.
will Jerry pay at least 20 mil a year plus step out the way like he did with Bill the best time jerry had wouild been if brady was a flop kraft fired him after 2004 then be bill DC for 2005 and 2006 but now u are tied to dak for at least 2 more years other than parcons that D wouild have to be re built

I vote not in the NFL. No one wanted him last year and he’s 72. Chatter was could the Pats get a first round pick for BB and they couldn’t give him away.

It’s been discussed in the other threads, but Cincinnati is an intriguing option if they can’t turn things around this year and they decide to move on from Taylor. But i’d also imagine that itwould be the prime landing spot for whomever the hot coordinator is this year.

I said to Mrs. Bergs (we're both Joe Burrow fans) last night that this will all be better next year when Taylor is gone and BB is coaching. Taylor is a fucking idiot who has been bailed out by his QB.

I still think it's Dallas or Philly, but Cincinnati is an intriguing option if the rest of the season goes close to as poorly as it has started. Jax feels too far away to me with Lawrence pretty clearly either not a top 10-12 QB or in need of a serious reset, though it's obviously possible this is a beggars can't be choosers situation.

I don't feel like Belichick would take over any kind of team in need of a rebuild. His ideal situation would be stepping into a team who's coach is the thing holding them back and ownership there having the belief Belichick could get them over the top. It's definitely possible that no ownership group close to a championship would feel this way about Belichick anymore though given his age and how the last few seasons in Foxboro ended.

Need to see how the rest of the season plays out obviously, and a lot depends on how much Bill wants to get back into coaching after doing a year of media. A year away could make other owners/GMs feel better about handing Bill the coaching reins but keeping the GM duties. And, yeah, 72 is a thing.

According to an SI profile on Belichick from 2004 - written by Peter King, so perhaps I should be skeptical - there were several factors that caused him to leave the Jets. The ownership situation was certainly part of it, but the presence of two individuals in particular (one of whom you named) played a big role.

No one except those closest to him realizes it, but it was because of his experience with Modell that Belichick walked away from the Jets' job. Belichick knew he might get only one more chance to be an NFL head coach, and he didn't want that to be under the thumb of an owner he didn't know (the Jets were up for sale), with a club president he viewed as a know-nothing (Steve Gutman) and, to a much lesser degree, a director of football operations he felt he had outgrown (Parcells). If he was going to be a head coach again, he would do it on his terms.

More or less agree. Not a match anywhere with, I think, Dallas as the exception. If the Cowboys season goes south (not looking great right now) the coach is definitely on the block. BB and Jerry have a good relationship; for Jerry he wants short-term results not a rebuild; for BB the team has a QB and other talent. BB would have to agree not to buy his groceries, but I think that's a given that after last season it's clear he's not getting that anywhere. I assume he accepts that; if not, doubt he'll ever be back

Miami just gave McDaniel an extension; that doesn't mean he can't be fired but I think they would cut him some slack this year since the QB kind of stirs the drink there.

Like others I think it's Dallas, maybe CIN or nothing; they would want him to get the defense into shape and add depth to the roster and not have to worry much about the offense or finding stars / a QB. I could see similar logic for Cincinnati as well.

mike brown is way too cheap to pay 25 mil a year to a coach

i understand dallas is a media magnet and they do have a lot of talent but jones wants to win his way the reason he hired parcells in 2003 was 1 they had very little star talent 2 from the mid point of 97 to 2002 on ave around a 5-6 win team that drove jones crazy 3 honestly what jerry wants is to make gobs of $$ have no pushback and win 10-12 games a year so fans can go next year is the year

i studied J Jones in the late 90's even bought his autobio it was like 5$ at a flea market

cliff notes from it grew up dirt poor dad was a hustler whould drive fans to the game while he played in arkansas allmost bought the chargers in the 70's but his dad told him u will lose $$$ cowboys was loseing a million a morth before he took over in 89 one of his first press conf was a disaster

said i will never let my team be owned by the banks a shot at san fran book ended in 1995 dude was so parvoid that he had someone follow the author of his book jim dent i think it was

being 7 hrs from dallas i know a lot about them

There's no way that he'd take a job with an owner he thought was cheap or a clown. That rules out:

Bengals (they famously spend little money on scouting)
Jets
Colts
Browns
Panthers

and likely rules out:

Cardinals
Dolphins
Raiders

I could imagine him working with a GM that he respects, like Roseman or Jerry Jones (ick). I don't know how he feels about Shahid Khan, Benson's widow, or the McCaskeys. I could imagine the Broncos throwing more money at him, since money is no object for them.

Ultimately I hope Bill walks away from the NFL and, if he's genuinely desperate to coach again, takes over at Navy.

We all know about the reverence with which he holds Navy football because of his dad and childhood in Annapolis -- his father's memorial service was held at the chapel on campus. For most legendary NFL coaches, going back to college would be seen as a step down. But Belichick going back to Navy? He'd be a returning hometown hero, and the pressure wouldn't even be that high -- they wouldn't be competing for National Championships, but he loves the military and coaching young midshipmen seems like a best case scenario for him, and I'm sure Navy would love it.

Belichick's boat is now the, what, VIII Rings? What else does he have to prove? I hope, just as he saw Parcells' path and avoided it in 2000, he does the same thing here. Why go follow in Parcells' footsteps on the Cowboys when he can follow in his dad's footsteps at Navy? Plus he'd get to live in Annapolis (where he spends a lot of time still, I believe), go to Navy lacrosse games, sail a lot, etc.

It's probably a pipe dream, but it's what I'm hoping happens.

And young Bill loved hist military upbringing. He was only 6 when he memorized Navy’s plays, and by the fourth grade, he started breaking down Navy game films. On Monday nights he would join his father for the scouting report sessions he’d hold with Navy players....
“I want to thank the people of the Naval Academy for teaching me the meaning of the word teamwork,” Belichick said soon after winning his second Super Bowl in 2004. “I try to impart that to the players I’ve coached, and I think our players this year displayed to the entire nation, maybe the entire world, how guys collectively committed to a goal can work unselfishly for the team.”...
About 200 people attended his father’s memorial service at the Naval Academy chapel, in November 2005, including Patriots owner Robert Kraft, former New York Giants general manager Ernie Accorsi, and former Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis. Also in attendance were coaches, players and career naval officers for whom the elder Belichick had been a coach or mentor over the years....
"He had three great loves in his life: football, his family and this school, and he was fully committed and attentive to each every day of his life," said former Naval Academy superintendent Tom Lynch. "I was one of thousands of midshipmen to pass through this man’s life ... It was only many years later when reflecting on the values, commitment and genuine concern Steve expressed for each of us, that I began to realize and appreciate the impact he had on our lives." To the very end, he was all-Navy. Bill Belichick said his father watched Navy’s 38-17 win over Temple at Annapolis, Md., on his last Saturday afternoon on earth, then watched more college football on television that night. "He went peacefully," his son said.

navy wouild be great but i think they are 4-0
Eh, they went 5-7 last year under this coach, and their wins this year aren't against very impressive opponents (Temple and UAB are 2-3 and 1-4).

Also it's Belichick. If the greatest coach in football history wants to coach at your college, I imagine you figure it out.
