a few years ago he said on an NFLN interview that “I don’t intend to coach into my 70s like Marv Levy”… maybe he’s changed his mind who knows.
doubt he has the patience at this point in his life to run a team that needs a complete rebuild. Maybe the Chargers like someone already mentioned; they at least have a legit franchise QB.
Bill is quoted in the article about similar comments.
“ I wish I hadn’t said that. I was probably thinking of what I would feel like. Now, there’s what I actually feel like, and those are two different things.”
I think the best bet would be for the Pats and Bill to just go their separate ways, similar to Andy Reid and the Eagles. A change of pace is likely necessary for both parties at this point in time.
I imagine it was partly him realizing that he didn’t want to leave the game, and also realizing he was getting closer to Shula’s record.
I really don’t know what other team he’d actually want to coach besides the Giants. But I think he’s run his course in New England… He’s still a great defensive mind but his offensive philosophy and acquisitions have been terrible.
