Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, expressed profound admiration for former coach Bill Belichick during Tom Brady’s roast. Kraft lauded Belichick as the “greatest coach” in NFL history, highlighting the unprecedented achievements he accomplished, particularly alongside Brady.
The camaraderie between Kraft, Belichick, and Brady was evident as they shared the stage during comedian Kevin Hart’s toast. Kraft emphasized the unparalleled honor he felt in having both Belichick and Brady on his team, acknowledging their pivotal roles in the Patriots’ success.
The trio’s tenure was marked by remarkable achievements, including six Super Bowl victories and nine appearances. However, Brady’s departure from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020 signaled the end of an era, though he went on to secure another Super Bowl win before retiring after the 2022 season.
Despite Brady’s departure, Belichick continued to lead the Patriots alongside Kraft until the 2023 season, departing from New England in January. With a new era dawning under Jerod Mayo, the Patriots are poised for a transition as they seek to replicate the success of the Belichick-Brady era.
The Patriots have set their sights on rebuilding under Mayo’s leadership, drafting promising quarterback Drake Maye from North Carolina with hopes of reclaiming their former glory. While Kraft faces the challenge of navigating a season without Belichick, the dawn of a new era brings with it the promise of potential success for the Patriots.
