How Bill Belichick coaching trees lack of success set the st

[seestyle]

It didn't take the long to find their replacement for departed head coach Sheldrick Redwine Jersey Bill Belichick, with whom the team parted ways on Thursday after 24 years. The Patriots on Friday to take over the top job.The reason it happened so quickly was simple: It was written into Mayo's previous contract with the team that he would be elevated to the head-coaching position to succeed Belichick. As our Tyler Sullivan noted, the team last offseason released an unprecedented statement saying it had engaged Mayo in contract extension talks to keep him in New England and prevent him from opting for any head coaching opportunities elsewhereHow did Mayo become the head-coach-in-waiting? Well, it probably has at least something to do with the fact that Keyshawn Johnson Jersey just about all of the former Belichick a sistants who went on to become head coaches elsewhere in the ended up failing in those roles. Mayo is now the 11th Belichick disciple to get an NFL head-coaching job. The previous 10 have a combined record of 223-310-2 (0.419) with a mere three playoff victories.CoachBelichick RoleTeamsCareer W-LPlayoff WinsAl GrohDC9-70Bill O'BrienOC52-482Brian FloresLB24-250Nick SabanDCDolphins15-170Brian DabollAHC/WR/TE15-18-11Eric ManginiDCJets, 33-470Josh McDanielsOC, 20-330Romeo CrennelDCBrowns, , Texans32-630Matt PatriciaDC13-29-10Joe Michael Carter II Jersey JudgeST/WRGiants10-120TotalA sistantsVarious223-310-23Obviously, Nick Saban had great succe s as a college coach, Flores has resumed being one of the NFL's best defensive minds, and Daboll led the Giants to a surprise playoff appearance in his first year in New York. But the rest of this group... yikes. Even O'Brien, who had a Justin Hardee Jersey moderate degree of succe s in Houston, landed back in New England this past season and led an offense that averaged 13.9 points per game. Mayo was a very good player during his time in New England, Quinnen Williams Jersey winning Defensive Rookie of the Year, making the Pro Bowl twice and All-Pro team once, and winning a in 2014, although he was on injured reserve during the playoffs. He retired after the 2015 season, and was hired by New England to be the team's inside linebackers coach in 2019. He quickly became viewed as a potential succe sor to Belichick, and he ended up being exactly that.
