Good choice

After Bob Kraft fired Pete Carroll, it came down to choosing between these two options.
  • Hire Belichick and give up some draft picks to the Jets.
  • Keep the draft picks and hire Tom Donohoe as GM and Don Capers as coach.
Let's see, Belichick's won three Super Bowls while Donohoe and Capers have just been fired. The good news is Kraft made the right choice. The bad news is if Donohoe and Capers where in New England, Reggie Bush may have become a Patriot.

But at the time wasn't the Godfather telling us Belichick wasn't worth a first rounder?

I didn't like the idea of giving up draft picks, but I don't remember being critical of Belichick, even that first season. He inherited a mess, and right from the beginning he sounded like a guy who knew what he was doing. I never imagined he'd be this good though.

Patriotsy2k with his Rain Man memory probably remembers exact quotes.

I was wrong about USC, but the Godfather will forget about me admitting it by next week.
