Not saying it would have happened, but it would have been interesting to watch.
And I can't say this enough - this is not a Belichick fluff piece (by me, anyway). I was just impressed to see all the familiar faces Bill had on his staff in Cleveland. Guess I didn't have a full view of BB's "tree".
The real story is about Cleveland watching their team leave, pretty much out of the blue. That was the part that fascinated me the most.
