Matthew Slater is scheduled to return to his alma mater this week, as UCLA hosted the New England Patriots on their west coast trip.
Of course, due to COVID-19 restrictions, Patriots stay in a hotel on campus and have to go to the Bruins practice box and weight rooms, but not much else.
However, among his team for his week 14 game opposed to the Los Angeles Rams, coach Bill Belichick discovered time to return the favor and communicate with the UCLA football team on Tuesday.
And before the Bruins’ rivalry game opposed to the USC this weekend, what better speaker can you ask to prepare yourself as the best coach in NFL history?
Then Slater, who once took up his post, sought to send a message to the existing Bruins.
“I hope you’ve paid attention and gathered as much as possible,” said Patriots special group captain Doug Kyed of NESN. “He’s the most productive instructor in game history. “
Slater would know. He studied history at UCLA and has been at Belichick since 2008.
