Former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick made a shocking admission in his book “The Art of Winning.” According to the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach, the "Patriot Way" isn't a real thing.
The “Patriot Way” had become synonymous with success and discipline over the course of Belichick’s tenure with the organization. It was viewed as something that propelled the team to success and set them apart from the rest of the competition.
"Someone came up with the phrase, ‘The Patriot Way.’ I think they made some money off it. Good for them. Here’s something you should know: The Patriot Way does not exist," Belichick wrote, via the Boston Globe's Dan Shaughnessy.
