Belichick said in his departure from the Patriots that he was open to a more traditional front-office structure in which a general manager had the final say. But a person informed of Belichicks discu sions with the Falcons told the AP he still wanted full control. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the conversations were private."Things are changing in the NFL," said Tedy Bruschi, who was a Pro Bowl linebacker in New England under Belichick. "Theres more talk about ownership and collaboration. Its becoming more organic where everybody is involved and everyones voice is heard. I dont know if you can win football games that way, honestly. Eventually, the head coach has to be able to say: I hear ya but this is the way were gonna go. I havent talked to Bill recently, but Bills track record is great enough of not only picking players and winning games and winning championships."Bruschi pointed out that criticism of Belichick as a GM focuses on recent draft failures while ignoring the fact he picked and developed many star players who were integral to New Englands unprecedented run of succe s.

Hes going to win," Dungy said.Belichick will turn 72 in April so his age coupled with the notion that he could retire after getting 15 more wins to break Shulas career record may have contributed to the lack of interest from teams.Sixty-year-old was the oldest of the new head coaches hired.

Other high-profile coaches who were pa sed over include 72-year-old Pete Carroll, a Super Bowl winner, and Mike Vrabel, the 2021 NFL Coach of the Year."For all the young players coming into the league, if theres any doubt how a 70-year-old man can coach football, those questions will be answered the very first week when Bill walks in there and talks to the team and tells them what he wants from them and shows them how to do it," Bruschi said. "Ive been in those meetings. Its brilliance but its simplicity. You leave the meeting room thinking I know exactly what I have to do and how to get it done. Thats the way he coaches and thats why hes so good."Not good enough to get another job this season but dont count Belichick out. When a team with a talented roster falls short next season perhaps the again Belichick could come to the rescue.Reporting by The A sociated Pre s.
