The Kentucky coaching staff received compliments from New England Patriots Coach Bill Belichick in an article published in Sunday's Boston Herald.

Former Wildcat defensive tackle Myron Pryor started and notched a quarterback sack of Donovan McNabb in the Patriots' exhibition opener against Philadelphia. A feature on Pryor, written by Ian Rapoport, quoted Belichick on how well-coached Pryor was at UK.

“ He's got a good natural feel for the game,” coach Bill Belichick said. “The defense we play is quite a bit different from what they played at Kentucky, but he's learning a lot of new techniques. He was very well-coached by coach (Rich) Brooks, some excellent defensive coaches, and an excellent defensive line coach. His fundamentals and his background are very good.”

Coming from Belichick, that's a real compliment to our coaching staff. Coach Brooks and his staff have brought Kentucky football a long way.

That is a very nice thing for him to recognize and mention.
