For context, Manchester City is a soccer team with incredibly wealthy ownership (Oil money). When they fell short of expectation several seasons, they went out and poached arguably the best coach in the world and made him the highest paid coach in the sport, taking home £13m-a-year. This season, they're starting to see dividends, Sitting in firs having yet to lose and set to break all sorts of goalscoring records.
Here's my question, could something similar be done with Belicheck? He has affinity towards the Giants after all. Maybe post Brady? Are there aspects of this we can throw money at? Coaching and GMs are outside of the salary cap after all.
Some fodder for discussion.

But if Flacco is worth that much in a capped setting, what is Belichick worth in an uncapped setting? $50 million? $75 million?
To put their wealth in perspective, Jerry Jones has a net worth of 5.6 Billion. And Shad Khan has a net worth of 7.2 Billion. The numbers are hard to comprehend, but literally Mara can't afford Shad's dingy for his yacht.
In my estimation Belicheck is married to Brady so long as he plays. At that point though, he maybe poachable, wanting a new challenge and what not.
Outside of wide receivers they seem not to miss on the draft.
Figure out who that guy is and pay him what it takes.
Under no circumstances do we hire an assistant NE coach.
But Belechick does have a son coaching...

You know it's also Belichick right? he's coach and GM (de facto GM since they have no GM).
??? 93-94-96 Superbowls
Maybe lately -but not bare like Eagles bare trphy case
Find the other "smartest guy" in the room . make sure he brings copies of all NE's tapes & recordings
We have no offensive quality control coaches and no assistant HC.
Maybe it would help, maybe not. I'd prefer to have more coaches though - more minds with lots of experience. More guys analyzing trends throughout the league. With our problems on offense, it would make sense for us to have a couple of quality control guys on offense.
Not a good time to pay more than has ever been paid before.
1. There have been rumblings of some friction between Belichick & Brady. The Patriots traded Garapolo and it appears Kraft made the call more than Belichick.
2. Does BB still want to coach? If so, maybe coming to NYG with full control plus a young QB may make sense.
3. Ownership is not going to hire another inexperienced HC. I expect a big personality who will command respect similar to Coughlin in 2004.

I've been arguing this for a long time - and I still can't understand why it's not more obvious.
The Cowboys started this in lieu of canning Garrett - they went out and bought a bunch of former HCs, coordinators, and made them 'coordinators' (passing game coordinator, running game coordinator, etc.) in what would previously have been called position coaches. They paid through the nose in some cases, and IIRC at the time their staff was larger than the next staff down by 8 coaches.
It might seem trivial - but when the CBA limits practice time - the amount of 1:1 time a player gets with a coach is crucial. If you have more coaches, you increase that 1:1 time. The problem then becomes coordinating and communicating between the coaches and the HC to make sure everyone is on the same page.
It's obvious that the Giants have had a QC problem going on for quite some time (hence the 'great practice' and bad game problem). I'll stop short of saying the Giants are being cheap here, but I can't think of a good reason besides the cost savings for not doing this. When you're spending hundreds of millions on player salaries, it almost seems stupid not to do it.

Agree. The thing about Nitro's post is that he's looking to spend tons of money on one guy who is no doubt great, but unavailable. Of course the Giants should get BB if they can. Beyond that though, they should be thinking that more quality coaching is better than less, and for a few million dollars they might very well seriously improve the quality on the field. That's got to be worth something.
In the NFL - I don't recall a recent case where a HC/FO employee was poached by another team when they were still under contract, without it following the promotion rules that allow it. If, let's say Jerry Jones with his deep pockets, decided he wanted Belichick to come to Dallas tomorrow, and offered him a stake in the team - would there be some way to prevent it? Or would there have to be some compensation arranged for Kraft to let him out of his contract to head to Texas?
Doesn't seem to be the kind of thing that might happen, money aside, because of handshake deals between the owners. It would certainly artificially depress the salaries of HCs, that's for sure.

A pretty good summation.
