ESPN writer Seth Wickersham’s new book, "It’s Better To Be Feared," talks about the ups and downs of the Patriots dynasty from 2001 to 2019.

According to the book, Kraft called Belichick the "biggest f---ing a--hole in my life" after he reportedly left a conference in Colorado for Detroit, where the Patriots were playing the Lions.

"I hate leaving here," Kraft reportedly told a group of friends, via ESPN. "You leave here and you leave some of the most brilliant people you’ve ever met. You pick up so much knowledge from all these brilliant minds. And I have to go to Detroit to be with the biggest f---ing a--hole in my life – my head coach."

Kraft also said he gave Belichick "this opportunity" and called him an "idiot savant" to another confidant. According to the book, Brady, Kraft and others discussed getting rid of Belichick, and Bill O’Brien and Josh McDaniels were considered to be his replacement.
