NEW ENGLAND Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is admitting defeat in his ongoing fight with the use of tablets on the sideline during NFL games.
Responding to a question yesterday about headset issues the Patriots had during last week’s win over the Cincinnatti Bengals, Belichick said he “can’t take it anymore” with the tablets, adding there is not enough consistency in the performance of the devices.
He also railed for several minutes about on-going issues with NFL technology, including the communication system between coaches in the press box and those on the field, as well as the coach-to-quarterback play calling system, which Belichick said “fail on a regular basis”.
Earlier this season Belichick was caught on camera slamming down a sideline tablet following a Buffalo Bills touchdown.
He said he is going to stick with low tech - printed images taken of plays during the game to help strategise on the sideline.
