To plagiarize the movie Casablanca’s shit…
(SCENE: UW KICK ASS INTRO PRESSER)
Reporter 1: And what in heaven's name brought you to Seattle?
Steve Belichick: My mental health. I came to Seattle for the sunshine.
Reporter 2: The sunshine? What sunshine? It’s rainy or overcast most of the year.
Steve Belichick: I was misinformed. -
he seems autistic, so that has me worried.
regardless, all coaching hires suck until they dont.

As long as the other defensive coaches are maniacal in their efforts on the trail, (on the trail, that’s what I like to call recruiting, on the trail.) Mongo can sit back and call plays with his beautiful mind.

In terms of earning respect as a leader - let alone an NFL locker room - this level of honestly and humility are a great start.
From another thread …

You could say the exact same thing about the mercenary head coach we just hired, and the one before (who I don't think I'm even allowed to name). I personally preferred the 14-1 known quantity if we're gonna play on #TeamMercenary

Chinteresting.
Too soon?

Yep, that's about as autistic of a thing you can say to a room of professional football players

Why didn’t he take an NFL job? I’d assume because no one offered him one calling plays. The league is probably rightfully skeptical how much of his success was his and how much was daddy’s. Now he gets to go prove it.
The Donatell comp feels really lazy to me. Donatell had 25+ years of coaching under him and was in his 50s when Ty hired him to save his sinking ship. The UW experience was obviously terrible but he has had multiple NFL DC stops since his time here. He clearly wasn’t the problem with that 2008 team.
Bellichick might crash and burn but if he does it will be for very different reasons that ED (ILTCEDEDTWILTD) did. He’s young, hungry, a little eccentric and with real upside. You knew what you were getting with Donatell which wasn’t enough given the disaster in charge. You don’t know what you’re getting with Bellichick. It’s a dice roll but I like the aggressive move. Jedd has worked with Bellichick and knows what his work ethic and football mind are like beyond interviews and references.
Its the kind of risk I want a HC to take.

Good pull with the Donatelli flub. I had forgotten iDawg (RIP) did that.
