Bill Belichick described how Tom Brady was ‘hard to coach, but in a good way’

Though Bill Belichick’s full-time media career is drawing to a close now that he’s the head coach of the University of North Carolina football team, the former Patriots leader is still offering some insight as the NFL playoffs move toward conference championship weekend.

Belichick, 72, recently reflected on how he used to coach legendary quarterback Tom Brady, as well as his thoughts on the league’s hiring schedule for job vacancies.

Speaking during an episode of the “Let’s Go!” podcast, Belichick was joined by Brady and fellow co-host Jim Gray. The subject of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was brought up, and how valuable it can be for the team’s best player to also be one of its hardest working (and one who accepts criticism alongside everyone else).
