Radio hosts aim vile monologue at Bill Belichick after coach's latest Patriots dig
A pair of Boston radio hosts ripped Bill Belichick as a 'horny,' 'delusional', 'a**' as they reacted to some controversial remarks from the legendary Patriots coach in a new interview. Speaking to the Boston Globe, the now-UNC coach said his current operation was 'much more cohesive' than things were in New England, saying his most successful years with the Patriots came with 'fewer people and more of a direct vision.' And Tony Massarotti and Mike Felger of 98.5 The Sports Hub thought those comments were completely out of touch. 'The guy is a raging a-hole. He's an a**. He always has been an a**,' Massarotti said on Felger and Mazz, via Awful Announcing. 'He's a great football coach. He knew what to do with Tom Brady. But he's an ***. Just the need to still throw people under the bus, to be completely oblivious to the realities of why they won … there's no accountability, there's no real self-reflection there.' Felger added: 'If he can look like this delusional, obstinate, completely arrogant, out of his mind, horny, old, half-nuts, old man and go 10-1 and go to the NCAA playoffs, that's a cool story,' Felger said. 'I'll take that story.' Nonetheless, Massarotti branded the coach's comments 'disrespectful' on Thursday as Belichick gears up for his first season at North Carolina. After signing a five-year, $50million deal with UNC, Belichick has filed out his staff with plenty of friendly faces, including his son, Steve, who will serve as the defensive coordinator, and former assistant to the Patriots coaching staff Michael Lombardi, who is the general manager for the Tar Heels. Belichick and the Patriots sputtered to a 29-38 record in the four seasons after Brady departed the franchise in 2020, before owner Robert Kraft ultimately chose to move the franchise in another direction. But despite the six Super Bowls that he won in New England, Belichick was not wholly complimentary of how things were handled there behind the scenes. 'It's a much more cohesive, and I'd say unified, view of what we're trying to do and how we're trying to do it,' Belichick told the Globe of UNC. 'It's a lot of football, and there's not much in your way.' He continued: 'There's no owner, there's no owner's son, there's no cap, everything that goes with the marketing and everything else, which I'm all for that. But it's way less of what it was at that level,' Belichick said. 'Generic NFL teams, you have the owner, president, general manager, personnel director, college director, pro director, cap guy, some other consultant, then head coach. I'd say when we had our best years in New England, we had fewer people and more of a direct vision. And as that expanded, it became harder to be successful.' As Massarotti pointed out, Belichick does have bosses at UNC - with Pablo Torre previously reporting that the school had banned the 73-year-old coach's 24-year-old girlfriend and personal media manager, Jordon Hudson, from its football facilities. UNC denied Torre's reporting, though Torre doubled down and said he stood by his revelations on his 'Pablo Torre Finds Out' podcast. Amid a disastrous string of PR, which included Hudson being shown meddling with a CBS interview that Belichick had sat down for, former Bears PR director Brandon Faber was ultimately hired by the school to help manage the football program's communications. And things had been quieter surrounding Hudson this summer until podcasters Charlotte Wilder and Madeline Hill revealed that she called them crying during a 13-minute meltdown. Nonetheless, Belichick will be focused on football with his team less than two weeks from opening up its season against TCU.
