He didn’t start wearing hoodies until around the 2004 season in general, whenever the NFL started mandating sideline apparel.
It does feel like the stars are aligning for a BB to the Cowboys type of outcome. If so, grab your popcorn!Gonna be something watching BB design a defense around Parsons next year. What will Kraft’s expletive be next year when he wins the Super Bowl with Jerry Jones
Didn’t seem to bother Parcells, who had an even bigger Giants’ legacy.Would BB sully his Giants legacy by HCing for Dallas?
Parcells is a douche, though.Didn’t seem to bother Parcells, who had an even bigger Giants’ legacy.
Fine but Dallas is loaded and if BB wants another SB before he’s done, it’s hard to think of a better team that likely will have an opening.Parcells is a douche, though.
I think BB’s mission will be to bring more hurt to Bob and Junior (and get the record) and Dallas gives him the best chance to do so.Would BB sully his Giants legacy by HCing for Dallas?

You could be right. Will be interesting to see how things shake out for BB.I think BB’s mission will be to bring more hurt to Bob and Junior (and get the record) and Dallas gives him the best chance to do so.
The total win record would come before he's 80, too.Fine but Dallas is loaded and if BB wants another SB before he’s done, it’s hard to think of a better team that likely will have an opening.
I don't think he can do anything to the Krafts that he hasn't already. My guess is BB is motivated to find the roster that gives him the best shot to surpass Shula and also get at least one Superbowl win independent of Brady. That and the desire to coach football all day, every day is what I suspect is motivating BB to continue grinding so hard.I think BB’s mission will be to bring more hurt to Bob and Junior (and get the record) and Dallas gives him the best chance to do so.

Jones vs Blank, checkbooks at the ready.Wouldn't be surprised if this gets Atlanta to offer Bill the job tomorrow.
They can't.Wouldn't be surprised if this gets Atlanta to offer Bill the job tomorrow.
Yeah--we could somewhat root for him, the record would be within reach pretty quickly, and there's little chance we meet in postseason.IMO Pats fans should want a BB to Dallas outcome. They are in a different division and are annoying regardless. The entertainment value of Jerry and Bill navigating each other - imagine what happens when Jerry does his first media hit of a BB-coached season, especially if its a poor start - would be worth it all by itself.
I’ve been saying this since the rumors started of the firing. I want him in Dallas because I can’t imagine a more wildly entertaining situation.IMO Pats fans should want a BB to Dallas outcome.

I am rooting for him no matter where he is. I’m concerned I’m going to have a hard time rooting for the Pats with Jonathan running the show.Yeah--we could somewhat root for him, the record would be within reach pretty quickly, and there's little chance we meet in postseason.
I’m tepid on rooting for Bill wherever he goes. People said the same thing about Tom when he left, I found that confounding so different strokes for different folks I guess.IMO Pats fans should want a BB to Dallas outcome.

Your feelings are entirely fair - I expect plenty of us will be mixed to bummed out once we see BB on another team's sidelines. BB was part of two decades plus of joy for me so I want him to get his milestones. And I don't care about the Brady vs BB superbowl debate but I bet Bill does so if he gets one too, fine.I’m tepid on rooting for Bill wherever he goes. People said the same thing about Tom when he left, I found that confounding so different strokes for different folks I guess.
I can’t imagine a situation I’d want to see Bill fail in more than a link up with the Cowboys. Regardless it would be highly entertaining week to week.
Put Judge on the bus too.That story last week about Josh wanting to come back was almost certainly from the BB camp. He will follow BB wherever he goes.
I would guess Steve goes with his dad too. That’s not a bad package for any team.
Plus i imagine Patricia joins the caravan.
My guess is Jones would rather get Harbaugh for the long term upside but the Bill package is pretty appealing
It’s crazy to me that he’s younger than KraftJerry’s 81, how long term can he be thinking?
Ownership isn’t FO. They’ve done plenty. This board blasted Henry and company for shiving Tito when he left but for some reason aren’t treating the Krafts the same because they have a better PR machineI don't make a choice to root against a FO before they've actually done anything.
I don't root against ownership until the give me a reason to.Ownership isn’t FO. They’ve done plenty. This board blasted Henry and company for shiving Tito when he left but for some reason aren’t treating the Krafts the same because they have a better PR machine
Yes. Agreed. We have a different opinion about the BB treatment. To me that’s reason. To you, it’s the right call. The hit job in the media is what gives me pause over what I already think about Johnny.I don't root against ownership until the give me a reason to.
Buffalo is a funnier and better pick if this is the motivation, but Dallas would not be a bad option for him at all if this is the case. And personally as much as I find the Josh Allen Bills fun to watch and easy to like, I'd have a thousand times easier time rooting for BB without reserve if it's in Dallas.I think BB’s mission will be to bring more hurt to Bob and Junior (and get the record) and Dallas gives him the best chance to do so.
If its between those two destinations, I can stomach him winning with the Cowboys. BB taking the Eagles to the Superbowl and winning is sports nightmare fuel.I'm rooting for BB wherever he goes, and I hope it's either Dallas or Philly because I want to see him do some magic with a stacked team that needs some D upgrade.
What has been published about Bill since his departure that’s anything close to as defamatory as what Henry and co. did to Terry?Ownership isn’t FO. They’ve done plenty. This board blasted Henry and company for shiving Tito when he left but for some reason aren’t treating the Krafts the same because they have a better PR machine
Agreed. I’d Bills somehow lose tomorrow I could see that happening as well given his fondness for Allen.Buffalo is a funnier and better pick if this is the motivation, but Dallas would not be a bad option for him at all if this is the case.

These mega rich guys think they’re immortal.Jerry’s 81, how long term can he be thinking?
It’s a bit different because Bill is chasing Shula’s record. He does that and his GOAT legacy is secure which adds to his Pats lore.I’m tepid on rooting for Bill wherever he goes. People said the same thing about Tom when he left, I found that confounding so different strokes for different folks I guess.
Why, though? Like, who are we trying to prove this too? It seems pretty clear that BB was a great coach whether he surpasses Shula or not. I can see why winning another ring would matter to Bill, but not sure why we would care as Patriots fans, now that the championship wouldn’t be with the Patriots. His legacy with the Patriots is complete at this point. I don’t think what the team or he does in the near term really can change any of that.It’s a bit different because Bill is chasing Shula’s record. He does that and his GOAT legacy is secure which adds to his Pats lore.
Also if he wins it all it also puts to rest the dumb ‘was it BB or Tom?’ debate and would rightfully show they are both amazing. I’d say as fans that’s what the narrative we want in our psyche.

For me it's because beyond being a parts fan at my core I'm also a big fan of football, it's history, and BB himself.but not sure why we would care as Patriots fans, now that the championship wouldn’t be with the Patriots.
To each their own, but Belichick has given me more joy than just about anyone in the entire world, excluding those that I know personally. I'll be rooting for him wherever he goes, except when he plays the Pats.Why, though? Like, who are we trying to prove this too?

This times ten. I can't wait for him to smash Shula's record and I don't want to have to wait long.

Why? Haven’t they been interviewing people this week?They can't.
Blank check gets it done?Jones vs Blank, checkbooks at the ready.
Parcells has been complementary of Jerry Jones since Tuna coached the Cowboys. Whether BB wants to coach in Dallas, which is not exactly close to Nantucket, and whether he's OK with ceding operational control, are still TBD. This week will be telling.BB is going to cherry pick the best situation for him to win another Super Bowl, just like Tom Brady did.
Assuming he can tolerate Jerry Jones for a couple of seasons, Dallas seems to be an ideal landing spot. Fix the defense a bit, and keep the high powered offense. Maybe pull in a few ring chasing vets on the cheap.
I wonder if Bill Parcells is going to advise BB on what it was really like working for Jones. Will Belichick be willing to take a job where he doesn’t have total control of football operations?
The only think that would give me pleasure in the Eagles' scenario is if Lane Johnson said afterward, "Yeah, playing for Belichick IS fun, as it turns out."If its between those two destinations, I can stomach him winning with the Cowboys. BB taking the Eagles to the Superbowl and winning is sports nightmare fuel.
