But in that interview process, Mark Davis was already pairing together potential GM + Coaches.

Dodds was paired with Jim Harbaugh; Ziegler was paired with McVisor.

And Davis chose the latter combo package at that time.

I think they are going to keep the guy that they moved in place for GM. He’s an internal guy been there for awhile. And he also finished second in the GM interviews. He might have gotten the job but McDaniels insisted on his guy. They moved him to vice president. But with the firing they promoted him to GM.

There are some rumors that if the Colts win in Germany, that Belicheat will be fired. It has been reported throughout this season that his seat is getting warm and that the Kraft family is upset with the state of the team.

Bill Belichick’s final stand could come in Germany.

The Boston Globe’s Ben Volin has mentioned twice in recent days it’s possible the Patriots could make a coaching change should Belichick lose to the Colts in Germany this Sunday.

A loss would drop the Patriots to 2-8 and firmly in the mix for the No. 1 pick.

Volin first touched on the topic Friday, two days before the Patriots hosted the Commanders.

“Based on my conversations, I don’t think it’s 100 percent that Belichick finishes out this season. These next two games before the bye are huge, particularly the Germany game, which is practically the team’s Super Bowl for the Krafts,” Volin wrote. “If Belichick loses at home to the Commanders and then to the Colts, and comes home from Germany with a 2-8 record, I think there’s a chance the Krafts could make the move in the bye week and install Jerod Mayo as the interim coach for the final seven games.”

The first result needed for that hypothetical to come into play happened Sunday when the Patriots fell to the Commanders, 20-17.

That leaves Sunday’s game against the Colts — the team at the center of DeflateGate — as a potential franchise-defining contest.

The Colts (4-5) are two-point favorites for that game at BetMGM.

Volin didn’t use as forceful language Sunday following the Patriots’ second straight loss, but it’s notable that he touched on the topic twice in three days.

“The Patriots don’t play at Gillette Stadium again until Dec. 3 against the Chargers. Will Belichick still be the head coach?” Volin wrote. “It once seemed preposterous to consider he would be fired midseason, but if the Patriots don’t beat the Colts in Germany next week, the Krafts might have to consider doing it during the Week 11 bye.”

A lot would go into such a decision, especially since Belichick reportedly signed a “lucrative” extension earlier this year, but Kraft perhaps has seen enough.

The Patriots are 27-31 since Tom Brady left town with one playoff appearance — a 47-17 loss to the Bills during the 2021 season — in the last three years.

Kraft reportedly already has a “home run” hire in mind to replace Belichick in Titans coach Mike Vrabel, which fuels the fire that a move could be coming sooner or later.

It the Cheats fire Bellicheat mid-season, that would make my year.

Not only would he be out of the NFL (although some crazy team could decide to hire a 72 year old coach), but with the news a couple of weeks ago of a new contract extension, it would cost Kraft a mint.

Win - Win.

Get belicheat fired and Vrabel out of the division? That’s a win win scenario. Although I’m not sure either would happen.

Yep....Vrabel is penciled in because McDumbass screwed any chance he had!

If Belicheat gets fired he will immediately be either the head coach of either the Giants or the Commanders.

Jerod Mayo is the coach in waiting in New England. If Belicheat is fired, Mayo will be the interim.

While it would be a treat to think a loss to the Colts gets that fucker fired, I just can't see any good reason to believe Kraft would do that to the guy who built a 20 year dynasty and quadrupled his wealth.

Because the NFL is all about, "What have you done for me lately?" And lately, the Cheats have not been good. 20-23 over the last 3 years (2-7 this year) with 1 playoff appearance, which happened in 2021. Apparently even Belicheat doesn't have the goodwill to weather that storm.

I think that you are correct ...... if anything, Kraft probably views Belichick as someone who is getting the most out of a sub-par team. They have gotten blown out twice, but 4 of their other 5 losses have been very close games, and they have an upset win over the Bills. Kraft is not George Steinbrenneresque in regard to being short-sighted and impulsive regarding hiring-and-firing head coaches, and/or demanding that players who have a bad game or 2 be jettisoned from the team.
