Bill Belichick’s NFL coaching tree just suffered another brutal blow

Bill Belichick has been out of the NFL for two years, but his legacy continues to take some massive hits.

The New York Giants’ decision to fire head coach Brian Daboll on Monday is just the latest example — and it’s a potentially fatal one for the Belichick coaching tree.

Daboll was the last NFL head coach remaining with coaching ties to Belichick. After going 20-40-1 over his three-plus seasons, Daboll joins the likes of Jerod Mayo, Josh McDaniels, Brian Flores, Bill O’Brien, Matt Patrcia and Joe Judge as former Belichick assistants to get the axe.
