Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)

[LEFT][FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]After meeting for a second time with Colts defensive coordinator Ron Meeks on Tuesday, Redskins owner Daniel Snyder and Executive V.P. of Football Operations Vinny Cerrato are [URL="http://www.washingtontimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080130/SPORTS01/564774900/1005/SPORTS"] believed to be heading to Arizona[/URL] for possible meetings with Steve Mariucci and/or Jim Fassel, according to David Elfin of the [I] Washington Times[/I].[/SIZE][/FONT][/LEFT]

[FONT=Georgia][/FONT][/LEFT]
[LEFT][COLOR=Red][I][B][FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]Some are speculating that the Redskins might be considering a run at Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who could be inclined to move on if his team secures its fourth Super Bowl win in seven years via a perfect 19-0 season.[/SIZE][/FONT][/B][/I][/COLOR]
[COLOR=Red][I][B][FONT=Georgia][/FONT][/B][/I][/COLOR][/LEFT]
[LEFT][FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]But such speculation overlooks the fact that Belichick would want to run the show anywhere that he goes. In Washington, no coach is going to run the show -- as evidenced by the fact that the Redskins are already hiring the guys who'll be working for the coach who eventually is hired. This approach necessarily runs off any potential head coach who is inclined to call all of the shots.[/SIZE][/FONT][/LEFT]

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

This would be a dream scenario to me. Belichick is from Annapolis MD also. He brings along Josh Mcdaniels to take Saunders' Associate HC Offense title, and then..... WOW WOW WEE WOW, they sign Randy Moss as well. WHOA Of course none of this will happen, but a guy can dream....:cool-smil

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

as much as I hate him, if we can get to Super Bowls sounds good to me. This could explain why Danny wants to wait till after the superbowl is over lol.

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

Um, something tells me that this might not happen. While I do think it's highly possible Belichick steps down after this year, he's not going to dive right back in with the Redskins, or with anybody. He would probably pull a Bill Cowher and chill out for a while.

Still, you can bet that Danny would be willing to pay coach K to the Lakers money to make this happen, so I guess you can never ever rule anything completely out.

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

Yeah right, why in the world would he leave that program. People are jus getting desparate for headlines now.

If he goes 19-0 what else does he have to prove?? Maybe he will retire

He will continue to coach as long as there is money to be made in NE. He didn't back down when he was up by 30+ against Washington. He has the chance to be known as the greatest head coach of all time. The only coaching record left after another SB win, is total wins. He has the best shot at that with NE right now.

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

PFT's accuracy sucks. this isn't happening. I mean, he'd leave behind tom brady and a great team for what? his owner can match whatever snyder can offer him.

i mean, if anyone can make it happen, it's lds... but it's a REAL stretch.

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

As much as I can't stand the Pats, they are a world class organization and a proven champion. Sure they got caught cheating, but it's something any smart team would do. And I'm sure a few others did.... Belicheck in DC is ok with me!!!

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

I am not saying that I do not want Bill, I would welcome him with open arms. It is just not very likely though.

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

So, the master plan of Snyder and Cerrato comes out - everything they are doing is a smoke screen hiding their plan to hire Bill Belichick.

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

This is complete nonsense!

If Belichick is dumb enough to leave the Pats for another team (considering what he has going), there is no way he will be th coach he is there. He has a great situation with personnel, coaches, management, and fans. Furthermore, if the argument is that he has nothing more to prove in NE, what the hell does he have to prove here? Then if it switches to the money angle, Bob Kraft has an equally deep pocket when it comes to the matter of Belichick and Brady, so don't think its gonna be a money issue. Finally, the posturing/smoke screening along with the recent coaching hires doesn't seem to indicate any sort of Belichick move to the skins. It wreaks of the intent to hire an inexperienced head coaching candidate who will need a system already in place.

I promise you, the warpath members, that I will shave my head completely (and post the pics) on the first day of the NFL draft this year if Bill Belichick is on the payroll of the Washington Redskins in any capacity at that time!

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

This is horrible. I just heard that when they get back from Arizona, that they are going to talk to G. W. Bush for the head coach spot. I think G.W's contract is up this year.

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

The way PFT writes its stories is always important to keep an eye on. If they say "league sources" or "according to ..." then, generally speaking, they're citing another proven source. Whether the source is correct on the matter or not is a different matter.

But "Some are speculating" almost always mean either they themselves have concocted the rumor and are posting it to see what the reaction will be (and get some hits to their site of course), or they saw it on some other message board where someone started it without any substance.

Long story short. It could happen, but it's as likely right now as That Guy winning the Heisman Trophy next year.

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

absurd.

Totally!
You know how the Dan loves to make the big splash (which I love). I am confident they have researched, and mapped out the possibility of making this happen, whether it's absurd or not.

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

You'd have to be an idiot to put ANY stock in this one.

For crying out loud, PFT's suckiness astounds me.

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

If I hear Pro Football Talk I automatically disregard any information they pass along. Unless like what SmootSmack said, if they happen to hear from leg sources.

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

ProFootballtalk.com is the sports equivalant of The National Enquirer.
Nothing to disporove what they are reporting, but I have never read anything accurate there personally.

I do believe Spags is on the radar, because of his success in New York and Philly. Add to that his familiarity with teams in the NFC East you have to think he is a good candadite.

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

See, PFT got it wrong. They overheard conversation that BB might consider coaching the skins, but it was not who they thought. That's right, I will be the next coach of the Washington Redskins.










:doh:

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

Not gonna happen.

Belichick isn't going to come here when we already have a staff in place.

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

Guys, when PFT said "some are speculating," I was the "some" they were referring to:

It's too bad they didn't realize that I was joking.

My bad.

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, RETARDED THREAT

I am praying we name our coach soon so I can stop seeing these threads being started, but hey I guess you got me to read it........ PIPE dream

Yes Bill is from ol Naptown, his dad coached @ navy and he went to Annapolis High, and signed photos of him are hung in random bars down town.....

This thread has as much truth to it as if it said that Joe Gibbs were going to coach in San Diego again because his roots are there....blah

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

Listen, I know they already chose my coordinators, but I'm taking applications for a few valuable positions on staff. You can bribe me with positive rep points.

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

I guess my next qeustion is do they already have a coach and have not told anyone?

Just thinking that they have hired to staff the new coach wants, but Snyder is waiting until after the Super Bowl to annouce the coaches name.

I know, pure speculation. But one would think a new coach would want to pick his own staff of assistants and coordinators.

Not to mention the mandatory NFL gag order during Super Bowl week. Teams are HIGHLY DISCOURAGED to make major coaching annoucements so as not to draw attention away from the Super Bowl game.

Who knows, there may already be a coach, but he has not been announced yet.

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

It is absurd. BB isn't coming here. BUT let's just say Snyder made a run at him one day. All of you people that were bashing him for running it up on Gibbs would be sniffing his jock the minute he was hired.

I'd still think the guy is a major tool. I'm not a fan of someone running it up even if it was our guy doing it.

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

they will do just about anything to grab headlines at this point and time.
i mean come on ..aint happening besides you decide NE potentially a 4 time superbowl champion ,19-0 best organization in football with the talent to show for it ...aint happening..but it would be sweet if and i say if it happened..

the media is desperate at this point and it shows..

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

Belchick coaching the Skins = Jerry Jones owning the Skins.

Not gonna happen.

Know what, in the interests of keeping the quality of this site up, I might consider locking/deleting this thread. This is in no way a criticism of the person who started the thread, it's just that this is SUCH a bad rumor that I think even having the thread on the homepage hurts the site in some way. Just a suggestion.

Not what I heard. Word on the street is that your third interview didn't go so well, and you are now lagging behind Fred Flintstone and Connie Mack. Argh, this coaching BS is so annoying. Mods, by all means delete this post.

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

Some are specualating that The Redskins are gearing up to make a run at Captain Nemo for the HC job and that if it pans out, they intend to play all their games 20,000 leagues under the sea.

i'd sniff it in a heartbeat if he came here.

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

Ok, lets say they do win the SB and he now has four. What are his chances of getting another one next year? I say pretty good chance that they could go back to back with the way they are playing and add the fact they are 15 mil (I think) under the cap they have plenty of room to keep FA and sign a few FA's. Its scary to think that they could even be better next year.

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

I think he is the best coach in the NFL. HOWEVER, I wonder what his record is w/out Tom Brady as his QB? In the end, it always comes down to players. And if he came here Brady isn't coming with him.

I wouldn't...I think he's a jerk.

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

I really think that there needs to be a ban on this forum on PFT as a viable source. Normally I would say that this is just one bad story, but since my time here I have seen countless subpar rumor reports coming from that site.

Now I know that rumors are very sketchy to begin with but at the same time a good rumor at least has some viability, as seen with JLC's Mooch theory (Though I'm starting to think that someone leaked that to JLC to gauge how the fans would respond).

Re: Bill Belichick possible candidate (Pro Football Talk Speculation)
 

I don't know what is being smoked by some of the people in here but if you think that Bill is going to leave the PATS and come to Washington your not dreaming your on some pretty powerful stuff I'd say.
