Belichick's Book Omits Kraft, Reveals New Role

Bill Belichick, former head coach of the New England Patriots, has released a book titled 'The Art of Winning,' which notably omits any mention of Patriots owner Robert Kraft. The book dismisses the concept of 'The Patriot Way' as a marketing gimmick, a statement many see as a subtle jab at Kraft, highlighting their strained relationship. Despite a successful tenure with six Super Bowl wins, Belichick and Kraft's relationship soured, culminating in a 'mutual' parting in 2024. Belichick’s exclusion of Kraft in his book's acknowledgments section underscores the tension between them. The former coach has since taken a position at the University of North Carolina, aiming to reinvigorate its football program. Belichick's departure from the Patriots and subsequent career moves, including his lighter public persona, suggest a new chapter in his storied career.
