Product Description
The definitive account of the 2001-2004 New England Patriots. Analyzes the many "success factors" underlying the team's two Super Bowl victories in three seasons. And entertains with humorous, insightful quotations from players, coaches, executives, and owners.

"Management Secrets" is essential reading for any serious fan of Bill Belichick's Patriots and anyone seeking to build a great organization.

The book is based on analysis of literally thousands of articles (and six books) that have been written about Bill Belichick's Patriots. As the book explains, "The Patriots' 'secrets' are no secrets at all. They are time-tested management fundamentals... well applied and well executed."

Triple-option genius!, 2008-02-28
I'm sure this is a great book and everything, but I think I'll wait for the video.

Written like a college research paper, 2008-02-23
Just a bunch of quotes from other articles and resources about the Patriots. There are literally over 2,000 listings in the Endnotes.

I'm not through the whole book yet, but I'm beginning to wonder if he even talked to one soul at the Patriots himself. Looks like he just used others' research and consolidated it into one place like a lame college paper.

Avoid and wait for a book by someone who has inside info or by Belichick himself.

must read for coaches, 2008-02-05
I come at this with a totally different viewpoint. I have been coaching football for 11 seasons now and this book has been the best tool in putting a team together and how to coach my players. By using this book as a guide we have been able to use a lot of the patriots techniques to help us create better teams. I am proud to be able to recommend this book to any football coach. James has done a great job.

can't get enough of it, 2007-06-27
I don't know about you, but this Patriots fan can't re-live those days enough. And this book is packed, cover-to-cover, with the details.
Sure, as a manager and Patriots fan, I've read it all before too. But as a beer drinker, it never occurred to me to decide "hey, I've done it before, I think I'll stop."
Bring on the other volumes!
