DETROIT (AP) — Bill Belichick has a chance to knock off another branch from his coaching tree.
The five-time Super Bowl-winning coach has had his staff trimmed by NFL teams many times.
They all hired coaches who know how Belichick and the New England Patriots operate behind closed doors, banking on them being able to duplicate the formula for success.
It hasn’t worked out that well.
Eight former Belichick assistants have been hired by NFL teams and Al Groh is the only one in the group with a winning record. Groh was 9-7 in his one and only season with the New York Jets in 2000.
