Lurie reportedly asked a 'confidant' whether hiring the Hoodie was smart. The answer: No.
Patriots owner Robert Kraft, left, talks with Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie after the trophy ceremony after Super Bowl LII, at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Sunday, Feb. 4, 2018. The Eagles won 41-33. TIM TAI / Staff Photographerpublished Wednesday recounted, with glee, the repeated rejections fired Patriots coach Bill Belichick endured this offseason during his “Failed Job Hunt,” or so read the headline.
So, Lurie asked a “confidant,” eh? Could that confidant possibly be his buddy Robert Kraft, Belichick’s boss as the Patriots’ owner and the object of Lurie’s envy for the past 20-some years? The ESPN.com story contends that Kraft skewered Belichick to Falcons owner Arthur Blank, which essentially sabotaged Belichick’s candidacy. Kraft saved Blank from himself. Maybe Kraft saved Lurie from himself, too.1. Firing Sirianni, even after a Super Bowl run in 2023;3.
If Belichick ever coaches again, it probably will be in Dallas, for Jerry Jones, after lame duck Mike McCarthy wastes another season of Dak Prescott’s prime. If nothing else, Jerry vs. Bill would make for superb theater.
