Bill belichick is being remarkably quiet about his post-new england patriots career. A fellow multiple super bowl champion is more than happy to act as his proxy. In an apparent attempt to defuse one of the most common arguments against including belichick as a former patriots boss, jimmy johnson, a two-time champion with the dallas cowboys, revealed some of the behind-the-scenes happenings of the team’s future. In a radio interview this week, johnson said, “he said, ‘i don’t need to be in charge of everything.” “that’s what happened up in new england,” he said. He kind of fell into that deal, and it’s not necessarily that he pushed for it.
Because he was there for so long, it was exactly what happened. “but he’s more than willing to leave some of the executive management and the personnel staff with him.” Though never holding the title and sharing such duties with other employees (i.e. : a.k.a. : a.k.a. : despite never officially holding the title and having such responsibilities with other employees (i.e. During his 24-year career, belichick served as the de facto general manager of the patriots franchise as well as the head coach. Belichick has also been largely credited with leaving the patriots in a dire shape with their roster, as shown by some of his final acts (i.e. drafting the patriots’ roster).
The new regime led by jerod mayo has had a lot to clean up as they try to restore new england to its former gridiron glory (drafting mac jones and allowing top receiver jakobi meyers to walk without a fight). Despite his long list of accolades and accomplishments, belichick only received one interview out of seven head coaching positions. He was given two interviews by the atlanta falcons, instead opted to go with raheem morris. Johnson is one of those surprised to see belichick still unemployed, but believes that the small concession could work in his favour as next black monday approaches. Johnson said, “i was shocked that he didn’t have any more opportunities.” “but) he’ll have opportunities next year.”
