ORIGINAL: Ragnarök Im curious the coaching structure in New England... They seem to have a winning model in place... Does NE have assistants for position coaches and then Quality control positions added to that layer as well? I have seen other teams doing this, but its like the Cardinals and Jets and not the top tier programs... Does the hoodie have such a melding of minds or does he just trust the titled coaches to do their job as assigned? EDIT went and looked and they have only the basic one tier of offensive coaching with OC, OL, RB and TE, 4 minds on Offensive coaching staff... Even less on Defensive side of ball! They have no DC and only one position coach, Safties Coach Steve Belichick (there you have it... Bill's son on staff) as well as his younger son Brian Belichick is also on staff in some capacity. Our influx of young minds could be good, but it also could flood the mix with too many opinions? Agree the whole deal with hiring all your sons and relatives (son in laws as well) and friends seems less like adding the most qualified personnel to staff, but that is way it has been done in NFL forever... Nice try. Wide right on the, 'we're not doing it like the Patriots'. The Patriots do not have a system or model to emulate. Unless you can find another guy that is the best GM, the best HC, and the best DC – all wrapped into up into one. If you can duplicate that, and find one other guy that is the greatest QB of all time – to start the duplication process – no problemo. Fumbled snap on the, 'hiring sons means not hiring other qualified coaches", Since that's probably the one similarity we share with the Patriots coaching staff. The NFL has always been an old boys network, complete nepotism. All the NFL. Sons and buddies. You'd be ok with hiring a food safety instructor from the University of Puget Sound to coach LBs because you never heard of him, but because it's Zimmers kid, its heresy. My Gawd you have an itch that you just can't seem to scratch. Nepotism runs amuk. True thing, I read an article about the chain gang. It's basically unmanaged. They work at the same stadium. It's full of relatives and friends of the designated leader (I guess the elder). They are I think four person teams: two on the chains, one who flips the downs, and one spotter. Since they are local, I presume most are fans of the home team. Seems easy enough to fudge a few inches here and there. And it's a game of inches.
