Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is celebrated as one of the greatest coaches in football history. Now that he is transitioning from the NFL to a college coaching position with the North Carolina Tar Heels, he is beginning to share the secrets behind his remarkable success.
Throughout his 24-year tenure in New England, Belichick built perhaps the most formidable dynasty in sports. Many of his former assistants have tried to emulate his command and coaching style, yet none have achieved the level of success he did.
With his recent departure from the NFL, Belichick is writing a book titled “The Art of Winning: Lessons from a Life in Football,” which will provide insights on how he transformed one of the league’s struggling franchises into a powerhouse. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the book is set for release in May of this year.

However, some critics took to social media, suggesting Belichick’s achievements are solely due to Tom Brady’s talent. “Lesson #1: luck into the greatest QB of all time,” one user commented.
