Robert Kraft breaks silence on Bill Belichick and 'personal differences' after snubRobert Kraft and Bill Belichick notably feuded in the latter's final seasons in New England, yet the Patriots owner has put his feelings to one side to give his view on Belichick's reported Hall of Fame snubView 3 Images Patriots owner Robert Kraft has made his feelings clear on Bill Belichick's Hall of Fame snubNew England Patriots owner Robert Kraft lauded Bill Belichick as "the greatest coach of all time" and said that he "unequivocally deserves to be a unanimous first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Famer" following the eight-time Super Bowl winner's reported snub.
A shocking report revealed this week that Belichick, 73, was sensationally snubbed by the Pro Football Hall of Fame after failing to secure the 40 votes needed for induction, despite winning more Super Bowls than any other head coach in NFL history.
Now, Patriots owner Kraft has joined the protests, willingly putting aside his differences with Belichick to stand up for the former veteran and say there is no one more deserving of induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame than the former New England head coach.
