The NFL world was shocked by the new reports coming out about the rift between legendary head coach Bill Belichick and owner Robert Kraft. While the pair were able to bring the most Super Bowls of any owner head coach combination in NFL history, apparently the two men did not end on great terms.
The all time head coach had been with the New England Patriots for over two decades, and this offseason the two parties decided to go their separate ways. While they both seemed to be all smiles as they parted ways, now new reports have revealed that there was a much bigger rift between then two men than anyone knew.
Robert Kraft Told Arthur Blank Not To Hire Bill Belichick
Bill Belichick will not be a head coach in the NFL this season as he was unable to get a new job in the offseason. Many fans and players were shocked by that as Belichick is thought of as one of the best coaches of all time let alone in the NFL today.
The most realistic option for Belichick was to coach the Atlanta Falcons, but that ended up not working out.
According to ESPN, when Belichick was under consideration for the vacant head coaching job this offseason with the Atlanta Falcons, Kraft told Falcons owner Arthur Blank not to trust Belichick.
For Kraft to go out of his way to tell Falcons owner Arthur Blank not to trust his own Super Bowl winning coach shows that there is much more of a rift than what most fans thought. While this is the report by ESPN, there’s no way to know for sure if Kraft actually told Blank not to hire Bill.
The NFL world and fans were very quick to social media to rip on the legendary owner for his treatment of the 6x Super Bowl Champion for his own franchise. Many fans
NFL World Rips Robert Kraft Over New Report
It did not take long at all for fans to start torching the Patriots long time owner. This report seemed to spark a lot of fans to hate on the owner. Here are some of the wildest fan reactions to the news:
“A little tip to Bob Kraft. If you want to be seen as a nice guy, do nice guy things,” one fan said.
“Trashing a HC who brought you 6 SB’s, poisoning the well with owners so that your former HC is unable to get another job, that doesn’t make you look like a good guy, it makes you look ungrateful.”
“Bob Kraft becoming a bigger scumbag by the day,” another fan said.
“Bob Kraft has been doing belichick dirty lately and I don’t like it. Bill will win one before all is over,” one fan predicted.
“bob kraft trying to make belichick look as bad as possible by trying to tell everyone about his arrogance is so funny sorry the greatest coach ever has an ego,” one fan said.
“At this point I really hope Bob Kraft never gets into the Football Hall of Fame. How he has handled the Belichick firing is disgraceful. Let it go man,” another fan said.
“Bob Kraft snitched on Belichick to Arthur Blank? Snake in the grass,” one fan added.
While the report has not been proven to be accurate, if Kraft did indeed tell Blank not to hire Bill, that is terrible look for the long time Patriots owner.
It does seem far fetched for Kraft to be that angry with Bill that he would try to sabotage his future employment, but you never know. What do you think of this new report?
