Belichick's most likely post-retirement life will be becoming the Lacrosse coach at some random college that suddenly starts sending dozens of guys to the NFL as career special teams gunners.

I think ive posted this a bunch.

But dont a lot of Patriots players also talk about how away from everyone Belichick actually has a good sense of humor?

The hardass couch routine seems to be what everyone takes, but most hardass coaches you will find care a good deal about their players, so you combine that with wins and improvement and thats how you get buy in.

If your just an rear end and you lose a bunch who is gonna listen?

Yeah, there's a bunch of footage of him in training camp and he's a hardass, but he gets along with and respects his players.

Like here, the surliest he gets is with Bill O'Brien and in retrospect....

It's kind of funny how many former Patriots front office guys are out there.

Jason Licht has been GM of the Buccaneers since 2014. Took awhile with a bunch of mis-steps, but obviously had a pretty successful last few years. Was Director of Player Personnel in NE from 2009-2011

Joe Robinson has been GM of the Titans since 2016. Was Director of College Scouting in NE 2009-2013, obviously successful.

Thomas Dimitroff has been GM of the Falcons since 2008. Was DoCS in NE 2003-2007. Had a good run that's very much over.

Bob Quinn has been GM of the Lions since 2016. Was Director of Pro Scouting in NE 2012-2015. I believe the analysis here is "Oof"

Scott Pioli was... bad on the Chiefs, and has been an assistant GM with the Falcons since 2014, so a good run, then... not so good.

Lol, Belichick would never be fired, come on man.

That'd also get him the record for oldest head coach, so yeah I could see that being his plan.

Next year is going to be a big challenge on the defensive side because that old core of players are gonna be toast, also JC Jackson is gonna have to be paid a zillion dollars or replaced.

He'll be franchise tagged.

Adrian Phillips will get Hightower's money, he's been playing very well.

Kyle Dugger probably officially takes Devin McCourty's spot next year, with McCourty (35) either retiring or taking a lower contract to hang around and play a lesser role.

Hightower's (32) played well after looking completely washed through September, but he'll either sign a cheaper deal for part timer money or move on / retire. He kinda screams 2 year deal for way too much money to the Texans to me.

So they pretty much just need to replace a bunch of inside linebacker snaps and some depth guys, shouldn't be too bad.

"Bill doesn't have hobbies."

You pretending he isn't moonlighting as John Hopkins' lacrosse coach doesn't make it any less true.
