It’s hardly a secret that Bill Belichick is one of the most knowledgeable football heads in the game, yet the New England Patriots head coach is a man of little patience and fewer words.
So a 10-minute explanation during a press conference is not something anyone expects from him.
Like all NFL coaches, Bill pays attention to detail. And, in his particular case, there’s a lot of thought that factors into his coaching decisions. It’s why he’s won six Bowls.
A video of the 71-year-old coach and GM speaking to reporters has gone viral as it shows him offering a very educational response when one of them asks him a question about the long snapper position and why teams use a roster spot on it.
Belichick proceeds to speak for 10 minutes, explaining why it’s more beneficial to use a long snapper than to train a player at a different position to save a roster spot.
He even ends with a smile, seemingly very pleased with himself after his deep dive.
