Belichick and Carroll should have left gracefully, on their own

[Battlelyon]

Harbaugh then Reid.

McDermott and Shanny after that.

Reid might retire after the Super Bowl

Whatta gig that would be to land!

Even if Kelce was to hang em up too.

Prolly the best job anyone has landed since Caldwell in Indy. And he put his time for that one.

Imagine going into next season with Belichick, Carroll, and Vrabel not on the sidelines.

Vrabel will be back. Belichick and Carroll won't.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Both will be coaching next season.

That is probably Bienemy's only chance at a head coaching gig.

Maybe they’d let him be OC again. Doubting he’s their HC.

If Reid retired after this season?

I could see him being the next HC. He is well respected in KC.

I just don’t see them doing what no other team is willing to do.

 

[Dude]

Yep both sides were classy, seemed like everyone was ready for him to move on including BB

Agree. Those were some great years but time to move on, good for everyone.

I suppose so, but if him leaving the org wasn't his idea first, then it wasn't his choice. The org implied that it was a mutually arrived decision, but they owed him that much after what he accomplished there. The fact that he tried to land in Atlanta tells me that he didn't want to retire, so he probably didn't want to leave NE either. Atlanta's future isn't really much brighter than NE's so why not just stay where you are at. And he lives in Connecticut. Why coach in Atlanta?

The Falcons are far closer to the postseason than the Patriots IMO. If nothing else, their division is on a down cycle. They have strong prospects at RB, TE and #1 WR. Add even a meh QB and some pass rush and this team should be in the playoffs.

They'd probably be Ben Johnson's #1 option.

 

[shopson67]

Bill's a tough hire if he wants control over roster decisions and to bring along his underwhelming coordinators.

 

[broncosmitty]

Should be almost everybodies.

 

[justanidiot]

Carrol did leave on his own, he just changed his mind and they said too late.

 

[BeaReylo]

I just don’t see them doing what no other team is willing to do.

And more than likely Matt Nagy might get the nod since he's already on staff as OC.

Reid is 42 wins away from the big 300, and that's with respect to the regular season records. Throw in his 25 postseason dubs and he's just 17 away from reaching this vaunted milestone. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he was to stick around long enough to reach that mark.
