Bil Belichick, Coach of the Patriots, Says Shove It
 

No-Nonsense With Belichick



Belichick is brutally frank with his players. In front of his team after a 28-10 loss to the Packers in 2001, Belichick said: "We have a lot of smart guys in this room, but on the football field we play like a bunch of fucking morons.'' Holley writes: "If you are one of the players flinching at the harshness of these words, you might as well begin packing. There is no way you are going to last as a New England Patriot" ... This is one of the reasons the Patriots' college scouts are asked by their bosses, 'Can this player handle tough coaching?' ''

As the Patriots struggled trying to repeat as champs in 2002, he read in the paper one day that one of players said the team had to get its "swagger'' back. That day, in the team meeting, he said: "You know what? We didn't have a 'swagger' last year. What we had was a sense of urgency about playing well, being smart, and capitalizing on every opportunity and situation that came our way ... It wasn't about a fucking swagger. You can take that swagger and shove it right up your ass, OK?''

I like what he said myself. Tell em how it is.

My coach in high school was the same exact way if not worse. Best coach we ever had.

And this is big news because?

Yeah. He knows how to put players in their place. I couldn't see Moss or Owens playing for him.
