Tom Brady’s father brutally rips at ex Patriots coach

Tom Brady Sr. openly discusses Bill Belichick’s involvement in the New England Patriots’ dynasty.

In a recent interview with The Boston Globe, he praised Belichick as “the best coach in football, bar none,” debunking the myth that his son, Tom Brady, was exclusively responsible for their success.

Brady Sr. admitted that it is unfair to credit only his son for the Patriots’ success, underlining Belichick’s key role.

However, he did not hesitate to criticize the famed coach’s interpersonal abilities, which he regarded as “horrible.” Brady Sr. believes Belichick’s ego contributed to his troubles following Tom Brady’s departure.

“How many times did he say, back in ’15 or ’16, that he wanted to win without Tommy?” When he left without Tommy, he had no idea what he was missing. You’re losing more than just one quarterback. Ego can get in the way of things. I believe it did with Bill. Now, he’s in a situation where he’s been crucified by everyone for the previous few years, and his rose has lost a lot of its shine.

In the four seasons following Tom Brady’s departure, Belichick went 29-38 with one postseason trip. The Patriots’ poor 4-13 record in 2023 prompted Belichick and the team to part ways.

Bill Belichick is now without a coaching post, while the Washington Commanders are still looking for a new head coach.

This is a topic that has been discussed since Tom Brady left the Patriots. Is Bill Belichick the best head coach of all time? Was he a product of Brady’s greatness?
