Bill Belichick’s New Book Excludes Robert Kraft, Highlighting Rift

The omission of Robert Kraft from Belichick’s upcoming book, 'The Art of Winning,' underscores lingering tensions from their contentious split after 24 seasons with the Patriots.

• 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.
