Colin Cowherd: “[Reading from an article in The Athletic] ‘There’s a school of thought that suggests that Bill Belichick has earned the right to go out on his own accord. The architect of the greatest dynasty in NFL history can coach as long as he wants. Robert Kraft doesn’t subscribe to it.’ You’re foolish in any industry, unless you own the business, to think that way. EVERYBODY is replaceable. And Belichick and his ‘brand’? Belichick would cut Belichick. That’s his brand – moving off players a year early. Belichick wouldn’t respect a coach who didn’t cut Belichick the coach. In a pivoting-to-offense NFL, he looks like a dinosaur. He cut Asante Samuel on Christmas, stop with the heartstrings stuff. You can move off Bill Belichick -- Landry and Andy Reid were fired. The longer he coaches there is in inescapable, unescapable truth. He doesn’t win big without Brady. He is a below .500 coach without Tommy and he’s great at winning rings WITH him. This is not a Joe Gibbs story with three different Super Bowls and three different stories, the mastermind of all of them. He can’t pivot off Tom, which makes us realize Tom was much better than we thought, but I’m not giving you a legacy pass when your brand always was ‘CUT A GUY EARLY, NOT LATE.’ Kraft isn’t demanding they be great and win Super Bowls. How about just demanding they’re not boring, dull, and bad?? Tommy wouldn’t have left if he had Godwin and Mike Evans, he was screaming at his receivers ‘GET OPEN’. Six, seven, eight, nine drafts in a row, outside of Gronk, couldn’t hit on offensive skill people. Mike Vrabel’s name has been suggested, he’d probably be a front-runner. Get out of here with this legacy-stuff. Belichick’s entire brand was ‘cut early, not late’. He cut Asante Samuel on Christmas, Asante said on the phone before he hung up ‘Merry Christmas, Bill.’ You can fire Bill in February.” (Full Segment Above)
Watch Colin Cowherd explain why he thinks it’s time the slumping New England Patriots move off iconic head coach Bill Belichick in the midst of an ugly 1-4 record that has the Patriots in position to be one of the league’s worst teams.
Check out the segment above as Cowherd details why Belichick’s own philosophy needs to go into effect when it comes to the direction of the franchise, saying Belichick’s brand was always to 'cut players early, not late’, and how that should play out with his own employment.
