Good question: I thought with Bill it was only 4 hours or so, this was 9 hours
The main theories:
- head coach next season
- head coach in waiting
- up you to the Colts for deflategate
Likely the 2nd. Still, not sure the Pats would make that kind of commit. Who knows how long Bill will stay, even if at this stage he thinks it's only one or two seasons.
