Overview

• Belichick's book, set to release on May 6, 2025, features 363 acknowledgments but excludes Patriots owner Robert Kraft.
• The omission reflects a strained relationship that reportedly grew toxic before Belichick’s departure in 2023, despite being labeled a 'mutual' decision at the time.
• Belichick subtly references 'The Patriot Way' in the book, but without directly naming Kraft or crediting his role in the dynasty.
• Kraft reportedly warned other NFL owners against trusting Belichick, signaling the broader fallout from their fractured partnership.
• After a year away from coaching, Belichick has transitioned to college football as head coach at the University of North Carolina.
