"Could Bill Belichick Leave The Patriots For The Giants?" Interesting Question.
(CBS) – Now that Tom Coughlin is out in New York, the Giants must find his replacement. John Mara could go in any number of directions, but don’t be surprised if his search ends in New England – not because of offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, but because of head coach Bill Belichick.
Seriously.
“They need to go for a proven guy,” giantsinsider.com writer Jerry Foley said on CBS Sports Radio’s Ferrall on the Bench. “It’s not going to be a (Bill) Cowher or (Jon) Gruden. I think they’re going to try and do everything they can to get Sean Payton without giving up too high of a draft pick because the roster is what the issue is. It’s talent. So I think they have to go for a name like Payton, (but) don’t laugh: If the Patriots are somehow eliminated in two weeks, I really believe they’re going to call them and at least ask about Belichick. I know it’s insane, but if there’s one organization where (Belichick) would go back to, I think it’s the Giants. He loves the Giants. He had tears in his eyes when he went back to Giants Stadium when he was with the Patriots. I think he would love to come in on a white horse and say, ‘I’m running this whole thing.’ I know it’s insane, but what else can he accomplish in New England? He’s got four Super Bowls. I’m just saying it wouldn’t surprise me if it happened.”
“Payton is in the Coughlin category; Belichick is in the Lombardi/Landry/Shula category,” Foley said. “Would he leave? It wouldn’t stun me. I just don’t know what else he can accomplish with the Patriots. If he came to the Giants, he would own New York City. When the Knicks are good, New York is a basketball town. They’re also a baseball town. They’re a football town, but it’s really third on the list of sports. If Belichick comes in, the Giants are at the back page almost every day.”
Hold plz.
That whole, insane rambling legitimately sounded like the inner conversation I had with myself before I met Taylor Swift or Christy Mack. “Hey man, why not you? You need to go after a big name. Go for it. I mean, how many more hot, rich, fit, big dicked dudes can they keep fucking? What else do they have to prove? We get it, you’re hot and awesome and live a perfect life, but that’s gotta be boring at this point. Why don’t you come over to this disaster and see if you can fix it up? That would feel a whole lot better than another superstar, wouldn’t it? Take this broken, gross man and see if you can make him presentable, now that’s rewarding.”
Fun talk though. I guess this is what regions do when they’ve got absolutely nothing to talk about because it’s playoff season. They go full First Take on the world and throw out the craziest shit you’ve ever heard. Belichick leaves the Patriots to go to the Giants because he’d prefer a fixer upper rather than to continue living in this beautiful mansion he’s built for himself. Sounds good.
