A discerning Patriots fan who sees a headline like “Former Patriots player says Bill Belichick is not the greatest head coach of all-time” might immediately assume that the player in question is ex-NFL cornerback Asante Samuel.
That discerning fan would, of course, be absolutely correct. Samuel, who has had a number of less-than-kind things to say about the Patriots’ franchise, was asked recently by analyst and former player Bryant McFadden whether Belichick is the greatest coach of all time.
The question, of course, is something of a set-up — it should come as little surprise that Samuel does not believe Belichick is the greatest coach of all time.
