About this ebook
Bill Belichick is one of the titans of today’s game of football. Now, sports commentator and bestselling author Michael Holley follows three NFL teams—the New England Patriots, Kansas City Chiefs, and Atlanta Falcons—from training camp 2010 through the Super Bowl and into the April draft, opening a new window into Belichick’s influence on the game. This one-of-a-kind exploration takes football fans behind the scenes of the most popular sport in America, with unprecedented insider access to the head coaches, scouts, trainers, and players who make the game what it is—including new insights from Bill Parcells, Todd and Dick Haley, and Belichick himself. For true fans of the game, and for readers of Badasses, Patriot Reign, and Boys Will Be Boys, Holley’s War Room is not to be missed.
This deep dive into the Belichick coaching tree and philosophy reveals:
- The Patriot Way: Go inside the creation of the legendary system, from Belichick’s early days in Cleveland to the dynasty in New England.
- Player Evaluation Secrets: Learn the details of the groundbreaking grading system Belichick created to ensure his entire organization—from pro to college scouts—spoke the same language.
- NFL Draft Strategy: Witness the high-stakes decisions made in the war room, from navigating free agency to executing trades on draft day.
- General Manager Strategy: Follow the journeys of Belichick protégés Scott Pioli (Kansas City Chiefs) and Thomas Dimitroff (Atlanta Falcons) as they apply these championship lessons to build their own teams.
