| Patriots Coach Bill Belichick Says His Workload Won't Increase | | |
Coach Bill Belichick addressed the New England Patriots' coaching structure for the first time since deciding not to name offensive and defensive coordinators, noting Monday at the NFL's owners meeting that his workload won't increase. "I'm not going to take on more workload," Belichick told ESPNBoston.com. "It just might be distributed a little differently. That's the way it's been in the past. My workload hasn't changed in the last 10 years. It's been distributed differently, from year to year, or even within a year, within different timeframes of the year, between personnel and football, or offense, defense and special teams as it relates just to football." This year, Belichick will lead the defensive meeting room, a role previously held by former defensive coordinator Dean Pees. On the decision not to name coordinators, he explained that the titles aren't important to him, and that there is no concern about a mixed message as to who is in charge. "The most important thing is for the staff to work together and be efficient and help the players, and coach them to play better. That's what we're really focused on doing," he said, adding that there is also an emphasis on improving the schemes utilized by the club. I think some of our younger staff members have gained a year of experience and we have a number of veteran people on our staff that do a good job. In the end, we'll try to coach the football team to the highest competitive level that we can. That's our goal this year and that's our goal every year."
