Allen Park — It’s a two-way street until you come to the fork in the road.
And if you’re still looking for the reason the Patriot Way seems to dead-end just outside Foxborough for Bill Belichick’s proteges, maybe it’s is as simple as that.
The reason the best tactician in NFL history has done such a poor job producing successful head coaches for the rest of the league is because, quite simply, it’s not his job.
Nor is it his obligation to spend any time this week extolling the virtues of the Lions’ Matt Patricia, Belichick’s longtime assistant and celebrated defensive coordinator who’ll face his mentor Sunday night in a nationally-televised game between the Lions and Patriots at Ford Field.
