The guy eats, sleeps, drinks New England Patriot football for most of the 52 weeks in a year. So what does he do with what little non New England Patriot time he has? Go consult at a college football program. Is there a HC/GM in the NFL that is so steeped in the business of football? Maybe there is but I'd bet it's a mighty small list.
I read a quote from BB the other day regarding his happiness with the Patriots. In the back of my mind I keep thinking BB will hang it up the next couple years. Who knows, maybe with the next SB win, maybe in sync with TB hanging it up. However, if you believe what he said in this interview, sounds like BB is doing exactly what he wants to be doing and is going to be coaching here for some time to come.
BB is an incredibly lucky man, a very rare kind of lucky. He's someone who loves and is passionate about something that he gets to wake up to every day which has led to incredible professional and personal success. And given that I am a follower of and spend a not insignificant amount of time and energy following the Patriots, I'm fortunate to get to be the fan of the man and the organization he runs.
