It's definitely true. You can clearly see in this picture that Brady, for one, hates Belichick with the burning fire of a thousand suns.

I think "hate" is too strong a word, but I think something like this is probably true. Belichick is not supposed to be friends with these guys, he's the head coach. They may not have warm and fuzzy feelings for him, but I can guarantee you they respect him.

This might already have been posted, but here was the SI players poll a few weeks back on which coaches were the hardest/easiest on their players.

Hardest:
Bill Parcells, Cowboys.....34%
Tom Coughlin, Giants.....30%
Nick Saban, Dolphins.....11%
Bill Belichick, Patriots.....9%
Marty Schottenheimer, Chiefs.....2%
Bill Cowher, Steelers.....2%
Jon Gruden, Bucs.....2%
Rod Marinelli, Lions.....2%
Eric Mangini, Jets.....2%
John Fox, Panthers.....1%

Easiest:
Tony Dungy, Colts.....28%
Herm Edwards, Chiefs.....13%
Brian Billick, Ravens.....11%
Dennis Green, Cardinals.....6%
Mike Shanahan, Broncos.....6%
Jim Mora Jr., Falcons.....4%
Lovie Smith, Bears.....3%
Dick Jauron, Bills.....3%
Jon Gruden, Bucs.....2%
Andy Reid, Eagles.....2%

In one of Brady's recent pressers, he said of BB, 'There's no coach I'd rather play for."

Sounds like he haaaaates him.

Tom Jackson said the same thing whenever this team got shut out the week before, just lost one of their perceived leaders, and had only won one SB. Fast forward three and a half years later, add two more SB's to the mix with the team deep into the playoffs once again, and we have the same false statements coming from a mouth at the same network.

Can he read the players' minds all the way from his comfy seat in the press box? We need more details. I've already politely asked him to explain through email.

I think to be a great coach at the pro level, you have to have your players hate you a little bit. Why is that a bad thing? You hate and fear your coach, you many times play harder because you don't want to be in the doghouse.

Everyone on the Pats loved Pete Carroll and Dick McPherson when they coached. What did that get us? The team was probably never more out of control then they were under their reigns.

You go back in time and you would find out players hated Lombardi, Halas, and other Hall of Fame coaches. They still respected the hell out of them though. These coaches got the most out of these players. That's the way I see Belichick.

Brady said it best. He said that if a player wants the love and praise of his coach, don't come to the Patriots. But if you want to win, this is the team you want to play for.

I suppose he thinks we should bring back Pete Carroll.

Has any Pat ever came out and said anything to suggest they don't like him personally? I don't think so. Usually it's just the opposite. Ask Brady.
