If you are looking for more information on the Bill Belichick -Robert Kraft relationship, it does not seem that you get it – although this can be added by subtraction.
Belichick’s new book, “The Art of Winning” is expected to be released next month, but according to the Boston Globe, there is no mention of the owner of the New England Patriots, Kraft.
“Two hundred and ninety-nine pages of Bill telling us the secret sauce of 24 seasons at Foxborough’s bar. I was looking forward to what he really thinks of Bob Kraft and how he would explain Malcolm Butler not playing in the Super Bowl of February 2018 against the Eagles in Minneapolis. Sorry, that’s not there,” the Boston Globe of Dan Shaughnessy.

“As an author of many books, I would believe that it is around 80,000 words. Two words not in the book: Robert Kraft.”
Shaughnessy noted that the legendary coach may have paid tribute to Kraft in an extract, but still did not mention it by name.
“Bill’s only reference to Kraft in this book seems to be as follows:” Somewhere, someone found the phrase “The Patriot Way.” I think they made money. You go, “wrote Shaughnessy.
He added: “The Belichick-Kraft quarrel is real.”

Belichick, of course, trained the patriots for 24 seasons and won six Super Bowls with them. But later in his mandate, the writing had been on the wall for his departure, and he had a very publicized exit which would have been a mutual decision.
It was also said that Belichick and the former Vedette Tom Brady quarter-arre have had beef since Brady left the team after the 2019 season, but Belichick appeared at the Brady Pats Hall of Fame ceremony, and Belichick was also at the roast of Brady on Netflix.
Belichick, reported the globe, thanked his girlfriend and Malcolm Butler, as well as 361 others – but not Kraft.

Belichick joined the University of North Carolina in December after the Tar Heels left head coach Mack Brown. Belichick interviewed at least two NFL teams in the NFL coach of last year’s NFL, but never found a job. He would even have recorded potential positions in the NFL for the coming season, but landed in Chapel Hill instead.
