I think he's just trolling us to keep traffic up in a rather dead period on the college basketball calendar.I can’t believe how many awful takes you’ve had in 1 single thread!

Because back then the NFL over indexed on how QB's looked in their underwear. They didn't do a great job of indexing on brain, desire, leadership which he is 100/100 on. And ahem, he's also 6'4" with a great arm. He also got a fairly raw deal at UM stuck behind a homestate hero, who went on to do nothing professionally. This stuff has all been well documented.
Tom was the pizza, Bill was the parmesan cheese (optional). End of day, Bill is a great DC who lucked into the undisputed GOAT. I mean look at every single coach coming out of the Beli tree - they all suck. Our guy Charlie Weis, who turned ND into Helen Keller U, was even made to look good by Tom. The more you unpack, the more obvious it becomes.
Very possible. I think he was only about 20% serious about leaving. The other 80% is for book sales. Hurley is a master marketer.I think he's just trolling us to keep traffic up in a rather dead period on the college basketball calendar.
And Gisele too.Brady hadn't proved himself to any NFL coach until the last round of the draft. BB tossed a coin and got lucky. Brady was even more lucky. Even Bridget Moynihan knew enough to cut him loose.

This is more measured than your prior post in this thread, and easier for me to agree with.There is at least a little luck in every title win. The best way to prove yourself as a coach is to win multiple titles with different players. There's only a small handful of coaches who have been able to do so. If Hurley sticks around, I can see him being added to that list.
I've said before, if the Jets draft Brady he may have been cut. He was 4th string in New England and Bill kept him. Most teams would have cut him. Maybe he latches on somewhere and languishes as a backup for 6-7 years before finally getting a shot. Maybe he does something with that shot. He very easily could have had a career more like Kurt Warner's if not for Bill seeing something and surrounding the kid with great defenses.Brady hadn't proved himself to any NFL coach until the last round of the draft.

What does this have to do with the Brady/Bellichick debate?Damn this place is insufferable. Our head coach has the credibility and visibility to be able to write a book about leadership. We are the luckiest fanbase in the nation. Any other take is stupid and a waste of time
Not sure I agree with that - Brady made his presence known in camp pretty quick with IQ, prep & leadership. He went into year 2 as Bledsoe's backup. I'm pretty confident he would have surfaced no matter where he went, perhaps just would have taken a little longer in other places. The NFL is so low on great QBs, the ones that are rise no matter where. End of day what really separated Brady from Manning physically (number one pick)? It's what each had above the neck, plus their accuracy, that separated them. This stuff surfaces. End of day we'll never know, can't evaluate the "what ifs".I've said before, if the Jets draft Brady he may have been cut. He was 4th string in New England and Bill kept him.

And Brady was the 199th draft pick.
Brady = peanut butter. Belichick = chocolate. Neither was anything until they bumped into the other.

What CT spot makes the best pizza though?What does this have to do with the Brady/Bellichick debate?
Please remain on topic.
Clearly Beli has won the competition for true love. I tip my hat.
Someone shifted to Moynihan and Giselle, so we take another fork in the road. I'm a sucker for good love stories, and it's pretty clear Beli is a modern day Romeo.Are we still talking about coaching, or his girlfriend?
Let’s just hope he didn’t do a Samuel Ward McAllister!He wrote a book because there was potentially big money and ego validation in writing a successful book.
No judgement on my part, but I hope the book is just successful enough to keep him here a few more years.
he meant celery sticks and hummus.Man, it has to be trolling now that you’re claiming peanut butter and chocolate aren’t good on their own.

Tom would read the play advance, call an audible and wear a triple ply Trojan before he penetrated that defense.Didn't Juliet have something to do with Romeo ending his own career ... ummm, I mean life?
I think the modern day version will have Juliet living in a beach house and having a private jet at her disposal. 50/50 she'll hook up with Brady after the funeral.
Then? LOL. It's much worse now. Tom wouldn't even have been drafted in modern times. Then they did focus much more on the mental aspect of the game than they do today. Tom himself talks about it all the time. College systems don't even prepare guys for the NFL and teams just throw them out there and hope that athletic traits will carry the day. Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Justin Fields...meanwhile the next season Purdy goes last.Because back then the NFL over indexed on how QB's looked in their underwear.
