Book Reviews of Patriot Reign: Bill Belichick, the Coaches, and the Players Who Built a Champion

Book Review: Patriot reign: A Good Read!
Summary: 5 Stars

I really enjoyed this book and was surprised at how much freedom was given to Michael Holley to attend team meetings. I was also very pleased on how candid he was in describing the Patriots. I enjoyed the insights into drafting and what qualities are necessary to building a championship team in the NFL.

Summary of Patriot Reign: Bill Belichick, the Coaches, and the Players Who Built a Champion

When Bill Belichick arrived in New England, the Patriots were a laughingstock, an organization with a losing record and a roster of overpaid, underperforming players. So how did a head coach with a questionable record transform this team, garner three Lombardi trophies in four years, and -- with the Pats' 2005 Super Bowl win over the Philadelphia Eagles -- cement the team's place as an NFL dynasty?

With unprecedented access granted by Belichick and his staff, author Michael Holley spent two years with the coach, his team, and his brain trust. Holley provides insights into how Belichick and his coaching cabinet prepare for opponents, evaluate talent, run the draft, and design their offensive and defensive schemes. Patriot Reign captures Belichick at his most candid, and what emerges is a portrait of a complicated man who is cerebral, yes, but also tough, demanding, stubborn, funny, profane, and a master strategist.

Frank, uncompromising, and stunning, Patriot Reign is required reading for football fans who want to understand what makes a champion tick
