I am wondering how much he confides in draws information from Belichick.

I am hoping like hell for Scott Pioli.

Did Pete Carroll have dudes committing murder on his team?
Because Urban Meyer did, at Florida.

Carroll issues were all recruiting violations. Meyer is tied to players who committed crimes and such after being on the team at Florida and basically covering up a domestic violence situation in his own coaching staff at Ohio St. He is not a guy I generally want to have to root for as HC of my favorite team.

With Meyer, you cannot plan on him being present longer than 5 years, and it is totally coin flip if the program survives after that with Utah and Ohio St doing well because he found good Assistant to be successors. That isn't really a "plan in the NFL". Good Assistant Coaches generally don't stick around for the possibility of being successor.

I also just don't understand why he wants to take on all this stress--mental, physical, & psychological--after his medical issues at both Ohio St and Fla.
