War Room: The Legacy of Bill Belichick and the Art of Building the Perfect Team

The New York Times bestselling author delivers “a lively, fast-paced insider’s account” of what it takes to succeed in the NFL (Boston Globe).

Football games aren’t won on Sundays in the fall. They’re won on draft day in the spring—in the war room. Now sports commentator and author Michael Holley takes readers behind the scenes of three NFL teams and into the brilliant minds of legendary coach Bill Belichick and his two former protégés, Thomas Dimitroff and Scott Pioli.

Belichick first worked alongside Pioli and Dimitroff as a young coach in Cleveland. Years later, they were reunited in New England, where they refined Belichick’s method for constructing a winning team, overseeing one of the greatest franchises in modern NFL history.

These three master strategists are now competitors, with Belichick at the helm of the New England Patriots, while Pioli leads the Kansas City Chiefs and Dimitroff runs the Atlanta Falcons. Yet they still share a common goal: building the perfect team, one draft pick and one trade at a time.

War Room tells their astonishing story, packed with never-been-told anecdotes and new observations from team officials, players, coaches, and scouts, all leading to surprising and groundbreaking insights into the art of building a champion.
