has a Belichick disciple ever been successful on his own at the NFL level?

The Lions are one of those fan bases that deserve some success. I'm just not sure about the Belichick-tree hires ...

No, of course not.

Huh. Whad'ya know. Looks like Monarrez may not have been so far off, after all. Acknowledgements can be left here.


"...And I'm here to tell you, this camp was stiff. Jim Caldwell had tough days too, of course. But long days were always followed by recovery days. The idea was to keep players fresh, and I'll tell you this -- the players loved him for it. And I'm telling you, there are players in that locker room who believe they were worn down in this camp."


Ask Kyle: On the Lions' brutal camp, and whether they're ready for the season

If you stop reading once you think your point is validated you might miss something important. Lets take a look at the very next sentence of what you quoted!

Listen, Matt Patricia still has total command of this team.

Maybe I took that out of context, how did he answer the next question about whether or not he has lost the team?

Like I just said, the rumors about the tough camp are true, and players are talking about it. That's no joke. But this notion that Patricia has lost players is an absolute joke.

(I should be charging Monarrez a defense fee)

Don't feel like starting a new thread, so just putting this here. Birkett article on Patricia regularly being late to meetings and stuff. Anonymous former player cited as source (Tate?). Probably not the biggest of deals, but you don't often hear things like this about head coaches.

Really hope that isn't true. The audacity of him working them to the bone while showing up late to team meetings is a quick way to lose the locker room. If that is true than Stafford himself, should call the coach out since he is the franchise.
