Some great coaches also have great “coaching trees

Ryan Allen Jerseys 2019 ,” a list of assistants who became successful head coaches in their own rights.And then there’s Bill Belichick.Belichick has had one of the most successful careers in NFL history, but his coaching tree has laid an egg. Of the five Belichick assistants in New England who have gone on to become NFL head coaches, none has had a particularly impressive record. Here are those five coaches:Bill O’Brien: 42-38 (1-3 in playoffs)Eric Mangini: 33-47 (0-1 in playoffs)Romeo Crennel: 28-55 (never made playoffs)Josh McDaniels: 11-17 (never made playoffs)Matt Patricia: 6-10 (never made playoffs)(Three other coaches — Nick Saban White James Develin Jerseys , Jim Schwartz and Al Groh — became NFL head coaches after working under Belichick in Cleveland, but none of those coaches got their head-coaching jobs on the strength of their work for Belichick, so we’ll set them aside here.)And now Patriots linebackers coach Brian Flores is expected to become the next head coach of the Dolphins. Just because Belichick’s previous assistants haven’t done particularly well as head coaches doesn’t mean that Flores can’t. But he’s going up against a trend that may make some Dolphins fans nervous. The (7-2) New England Patriots are well underway with practice in preparation to face the (4-4) Tennessee Titans. There were no changes from Wednesday to Thursday for New England- but the same can not be said for the Titans.Here’s the second injury report of the week.Did Not ParticipateBrown’s sick James Develin Jerseys 2019 , but that shouldn’t prevent him from playing on Sunday. He’s just trying to stay away from his teammates so no one else catches the bug that’s been going around.The Titans’ starting right tackle remains sidelined and unlikely to play, while their WR2 and WR3 did not practice. This could be a really tough outing for an already-weak Titans offense. Stephon Gilmore can lock down Corey Davis and that would allow the Patriots to dedicate the rest of their defensive resources to clogging up the Titans rushing attack.Limited ParticipationThere were no changes to the Patriots side of the injury report. Morgan hasn’t played since week 6 and just returned to practice on Saturday. It’s questionable if he’ll play. Logan is a new addition to the report, although he’s been a rotational defensive tackle.Full ParticipationCompton is a reserve linebacker that has a bigger role on special teams.
