There is fracture in the power ranks. Bill Belichick is a student of Bill Parcells. "If they want you to cook the dinner, at least they ought to let you shop for some of the groceries." Like QB!
Who knows what Butler did. It will eventually come out. But, right now, you don't want to be on his bad side. The Patriots organization is chipping away at his power. As I said earlier in the season, real football people know this team is not as good as it was. Nothing lasts forever and the trade of JG undermined his authority. Basically, the same reason Parcells bailed years ago. There is turmoil in the top ranks and as they say in the military "shit rolls downhill". The fact that Josh McDaniels turned down a head coaching position at the last minute, speaks volumes about what's going on here. Who knows what promises were made, wink, wink. Not saying this will happen tomorrow but by 2019 the Pats will probably have a new head coach. Belichick is probably on short time at NE. One more season at the most. I think McDaniels will be shown everything Belichick does and everything he knows. It all gets passed down.
