Looks like he's working so hard he didn't have time to change his shirt ..
Either that or he's like the rest of us, picking it up off the floor, sniffing it to determine if it is too rancid and then putting it on.....
That's called 'going green' by minimizing the number of times you have to wash something.....
This is how BB is constantly ahead of the football innovation curve. He spends time with numerous college coaches during the offseason learning new formations and game management strategies. His focus and interest level in football is legendary...and I guarantee he doesn't even consider it as work one bit.
This is one of the things I admire most about BB. He's the best football coach in the world, perhaps history. Yet he's trying to learn every day, even asking for advice and info from coaches a level down.
Some NFL head coaches have massive egos and think there's nothing to learn from the amateurs. BB is down there digging into the details with them. He's open to new ideas from everywhere. It's quite remarkable and rare in this world.
Or DTs, Josh Watson or Grady Jarrett. I like Jarrett but is he too small at 6"0 290???Was he looking at WRs at Clemson?
He's been friends with Nick Saban of Alabama for many years. They have common interests and philosophies regarding football. In fact, Alabama's football team runs an offense quite similar to New England's in both formation and terminology.
But the SEC is the powerhouse of College Football right now, and it's where an NFL coach should be looking for strong, smart players. That's not to say there aren't great players at other colleges. there are. Look at Rutgers and Kent State, for example. But the SEC is a tough conference and players who can excel there will usually have an easier transition to the NFL.

The first quote about Belichick is from a Boston political columnist by the name of Joan Vennochi who rarely wrote about sports. Belichick, she noted, wasn't "glib or glitzy. At press conferences he sometimes seems a little goofy and is often way too grim. But he is a leader without the swagger, selfishness, and pomposity that so many men in business, politics and sports embrace as an entitlement of their gender and position."
The second quote comes from Peter Richmond, a writer from Cleveland. "What's interesting about him, and was judged a weakness in Cleveland, was that he did not play any games. There's nothing fake and there never was. He is what he is. There is no pretense, and he is utterly authentic in a world where, because of television, there is more and more which is inauthentic. What's troubling about all this is that a lot of people are more comfortable with the inauthentic, if it is reassuring, than they are with the truth, if it is not reassuring. He doesn't play the role of the coach. Instead he is the coach."
Any links? I'd love to read the entire articles.
Right, the ineligible receiver scheme was out of college. Harbaugh storming onto the field to rant about about the unfairness of the universe, thus giving the Pats a free 15 yds in a close playoff game, has to be a highlight of 2014. I bet Belichick planned Harbaugh's implosion as surely as he plans on Edelman beating Simon twice in a row with the same move.This is how BB is constantly ahead of the football innovation curve.
