After Josh McDaniels left the New England Patriots to turn out to be the top coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, there have been virtually rapid rumblings that Invoice Belichick ought to deliver Invoice O’Brien again. We might now know why Belichick waited a 12 months to try this.
Based on Albert Breer of The MMQB, Belichick was involved that O’Brien would solely stick with the Patriots for a season. Belichick apparently felt that if O’Brien returned to New England as offensive coordinator, he might do such job that he would bolt for a head-coach place after only one season. That’s one cause Belichick didn’t attempt to lure O’Brien away from Alabama a 12 months in the past.
“I’m instructed the rationale he didn’t even pursue it with (Nick) Saban was out of concern that O’Brien would possibly do properly sufficient in a 12 months to land a head-coaching job elsewhere, leaving the Patriots to switch a coordinator two years in a row,” Breer wrote, by way of Mark Daniels of MLive.com.
If that’s correct, it’s not the perfect search for Belichick. When you can perceive him caring about dropping offensive coordinators in back-to-back seasons, Breer’s report primarily means Belichick was assured O’Brien would do an incredible job. The top coach clearly believed a mix of himself, Matt Patricia and Joe Decide might deal with the offense simply as properly with out the chance of getting to make main adjustments in 2023. He was unsuitable about that.
A report earlier than the season claimed Belichick handed over O’Brien for a unique cause, however it appears there was extra to the story.
