I'm not saying you can't have a second chance, due to some coaches stinking in one place and coming out a rose in another, but would you really be so fast to do it? I remember when Kansas City got Pioli, Crennel and Weis, we thought we would be the new Patriots. But.........
And I think these other teams are having that same "He's bringing the Patriot Way here" mentality. JMO.

No. I wouldn't. I've said it time & time again. Belichek = genius is a myth.
He just does what every other coach tries to do better. Innovative coaches like Walsh, Landry, Coryell are the ones that usually spawn coaching trees.
Belichek's plus is the fact he's the most flexible coach in the game. He doesn't want to win his way. He wants to win. And he gameplans that way. He tailors it to his team & to his opponent. If pounding the ball is called for, he'll do it. If throwing 30 straight times is needed, he'll do it. He gives you an advantage every game. He just knows the opposing team will not be patient enough to take it each time. It's a lesson other coaches refuse to learn & I just don't get it. Being married to a game style is restricting yourself.
The other advantages are he's non-sentimental with his roster, his teams rarely make unforced errors, and never allows himself to be sidetracked by the media.
All of the above are products of his personality. Not a product a coaching acumen that can be passed to others.
One other reason: The other guys don't take Tom Brady with them.
