New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick hasn’t been shy from telling the truth — at least when he steps away from the media’s tape recorders and video cameras. In fact, Belichick can be brutally honest.
And that’s what impressed linebacker and special teams standout Brandon King about Belichick. King always knows where he stands with Belichick because the coach isn’t afraid to tell it like it is.
“At the end of the day, you got coaches out there that might be like sugarcoat this, sugarcoat that,” King said Monday during an appearance on NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football.” “But with Bill, he lays it completely right on the line for you. He’s been a part of a lot of organizations, been a coach for longer than I’ve been alive. So he knows what it takes to get where we need to be. Honestly, if something’s not going the right way, he’s gonna tell you. He’s gonna come straight up to you and he’s gonna be like, ‘Look, this is this and that and you’re not doing this right. And if you do it, you gotta do this.’ Everyone has so much respect for him because he’s done it for so long.”
