I don't know much about this guy. And for anyone else who'd like a little insight into what kind of coach he is and how well respected he is among his players and even Bill, this is a good little article.
“I always refer to Bill as a genius. I see that with Patricia, too,” Spikes said. “That’s his little protégé. He’s next in line. If Bill were to ever call it quits—who knows when that’s going to be—Patricia would be the perfect guy to step in.” |
Belichick’s former assistants haven’t had a lot of success doing that before, but, in this case I think Patricia is different, because he seems strong-willed enough to take Belichick’s methods and apply them in his own way. The way Spikes described it to me, Patricia wasn’t afraid to stand up to Belichick when he had conviction in something. |
“He’s definitely a well-rounded individual. He’s someone I aspire to be, as a man.” |
That’s another quality that separates Patricia from some of Belichick’s other protégés: his ability to take serviceable players like Spikes and work them into an effective unit. The Pats have finished in the top 10 in scoring defense in each of Patricia’s six years as defensive coordinator, including two straight finishes in the top five now. “There’s new guys in there, different guys on the field [every year], and it doesn’t matter,” Spikes says. “It’s coaching.” |

Working with them all day, he sounds like an engineer. Given his background, it makes sense.
He voice through me though,lol. I didn't expect that.
I'm quickly becoming a fan.

He forgot to tell them he needs to go back and watch the tape
The man just likes shirts...

In interviews and clearly has done good work after losing star after star on defense but I really thought his Goodell t shirt antics made him look tone deaf and childish. I mean I agree that Goodell is a complete clown but I would not think publicly displaying it is wise. He is a very interesting and un Giant like pick though.

But he seems very intelligent and well-spoken.
No, I save that for posters who call him "Matty P" and do nothing but complain about every draft pick every year. I actually was in favor of Patricia back in 2016, believe it or not.
honestly...very! But trying to keep my emotions in check until and if it becomes official.

He doesn't exactly command the room - which is what Gettleman says he looks for

I know this doesn't matter one bit, but I just watched a video of Patricia speaking and it was the first time hearing him talk. Was not expecting this voice...

What was he like when you were in the Patriots locker room?
Mostly true, except in Patricia's case he really could have been a rocket scientist.
