Listen "The New England Curse: Can Belichick Win Without Full Control in NY?"

Episode Synopsis

BT & Sal ignite a fiery debate over whether the New York Giants should pursue legendary coach Bill Belichick for a potential regime change, arguing that keeping the current tandem of Joe Shane and Brian Daboll is an "abject failure." Sal asserts that Belichick's profound love for the Giants franchise makes a return logical, and for a team in the "abyss," the GOAT is the surest way to "eliminate the question marks."

BT, however, expresses reservations, questioning if "the game has passed him by" and whether he would demand too much power, potentially becoming a "Phil Jackson with the Knicks"-style consultant rather than a hands-on coach. They compare him to other options like Jon Gruden, ultimately concluding that despite the risk, the allure of the greatest coach ever coming home—especially with quarterback Jaxson Dart in place—is a chance the Giants must consider to fix their culture and fortunes
