I predict Bill Belichick stays for one more year, Josh McDaniels becomes head coach, and Tom Brady stays for three more years

My prediction is [Bill] Belichick stays for one more year. [Josh] McDaniels becomes the head coach. [Tom] Brady sticks around three more years. That's my prediction. At least one more year after that.

Belichick stayed much longer than one year (retired after the 2023 season). McDaniels never became the Patriots HC (he went to the Raiders and then got fired). Brady did play three more years (and five total).

If Andrew Luck was 100% healthy, Josh McDaniels would have taken the Colts job

I'll put it this way. If Andrew Luck was 100% healthy, then [Josh] McDaniels takes this job.

While speculative, Luck's health was indeed a massive storyline for the Colts, and he retired shortly after due to the toll of injuries. McDaniels never went to Indy, staying in New England.

Josh McDaniels only stayed in New England because Tom Brady promised to play three more years

I don't think [Josh] McDaniels walks away from Indianapolis if Tom Brady doesn't say to him, 'I'm gonna stay for three more years.' [Josh] McDaniels would be the dumbest person in the world if Belichick's like, 'Yeah, I'm done next year,' and Brady's like, 'Yeah, I don't know if I'm gonna play more than one year,' because then he would basically be [stuck].

Tom Brady played for the Patriots for two more full seasons (2018, 2019) before leaving for Tampa. He played five more seasons in total.

Bill Belichick letting Matt Patricia leave but keeping Josh McDaniels proves he thinks Patricia is a dummy

The other fallout is [Bill] Belichick must think Matt Patricia's a dummy because he's like, 'No, you go ahead. You're not going to be the coach of the New England Patriots when I leave. So you go ahead and don't even look back.'

Matt Patricia's tenure in Detroit was a disaster, and McDaniels eventually did leave for the Raiders, but neither succeeded as head coaches. Belichick didn't promote Patricia to head coach.

The Texans Aren't All the Way Back Yet

I still think that there's an issue for the Texans. I don't think they're all the way back yet, because the defense is still—they're giving up 30 points a game a lot.

This is an evaluative opinion about the Texans' defensive quality rather than a definitively resolvable claim.

The Rams Might Just Be Bad

It feels like there's some bad vibes going on with the Rams. They could just be McVay. Seems like he's not having a good time at all. They might just be bad.

This is a present-tense team evaluation that cannot be judged as a single objective fact.

The Rams Will Still Make the Playoffs

I think they'll make the playoffs. I don't want to take that back. I don't think they'll be fine. I think they'll make the playoffs, and this might be the end of the line for Stafford.

The Rams' 2026 playoff outcome has not been established in the provided context and remains unresolved.
