The relationship between an NFL team owner and the team’s head coach can be a tricky one. ESPN writer Seth Wickersham’s new book titled, It’s Better To Be Feared, takes a behind-the-scenes look at the New England Patriots’ dynasty. It also offers commentary on the political nature that exists within the franchise.
It delves into the relationship between Robert Kraft and head coach Bill Belichick
In an excerpt from the book, owner Robert Kraft took shots at head coach Bill Belichick, referring to the Hall of Fame coach as the “biggest f*cking a**hole in my life.”
“You leave here [the conference] and you leave some of the most brilliant people you’ve ever met. You pick up so much knowledge from all these brilliant minds. And I have to go to Detroit to be with the biggest f*cking a**hole in my life — my head coach.”
Robert Kraft once called Belichick the "biggest f*cking asshole in my life."

If Belichick keeps losing, there’s no doubt Kraft will eventually replace him, if Kraft himself isn’t replaced by then.
And by replaced I think you know what I mean.
Father time remains undefeated, just not against Tom Brady..
