Is it going to be business as usual or will the Patriots go outside of the organization and bring in some new thinking. The “Patriot Way” of evaluating pro and college prospects is not working. Mike Holley’s Book called Patriots Reign outlined the evaluation system. The book was published in 2004 and chronicled the 2002 and 2003 seasons. The evaluation system that Bill Belichick brought with him when he was hired 24 years ago, no longer works. It is so narrow in its application that it eliminates good football players that could have helped this team. Holley was given unprecedented access to the Patriots evaluations and meetings by Belichick and staff.
