Why is Bill Belichick turning into the Jerry Jones of coaching?

Speaking on FOX Sports radio, the analyst Burress said, “When I first heard about this, I said ‘well damn, Bill Belichick wants to make himself the Jerry Jones of head coaching.’ He wants to be the General Manager, the Owner, he wants to be that kind of coach. Tom Brady is no longer there. It’s turning into a dictatorship up there in New England.”

He added, “This is the reason why it won’t work – there’s no way, during the week, that Bill Belichick can be in both the offensive and defensive meetings at the same time. It’s plain and simple, you have to have an offensive coordinator and a defensive coordinator if you want to run an offense or defense. You can be the head coach, but you can’t do both at the same time.”
