New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick has faced plenty of criticism for his handling of the team—some warranted and some that seems to go a bit too far off the deep end.
Former Patriots cornerback Asante Samuel’s recent comments fall in the latter category.
Following the Patriots’ embarrassing blowout loss at home to the Chicago Bears, Samuel called Belichick an “average coach” without Tom Brady on social media. It was a harsh jab at a coach coming off a season where he took the team to the playoffs with a rookie quarterback under center.
