Tom Brady Speaks Out on ‘The Greatest Coach Ever’ Bill Belichick’s Unemployment After 23 Years as Patriots HC

Is the Bill Belichick era coming to an end? Ever since the 71-year-old stepped down from his position as the New England Patriots HC, he’s been unable to land himself another NFL job. After the Atlanta Falcons chose Raheem Morris over the 6x SB winning coach, this may be his first time without being a head coach since 2000. 

Surprise is the key focus right now! Because this surely shouldn’t be the fate of a legend who’s widely considered as one of the greatest head coaches of all time. Playing under Belichick for 19 seasons, Tom Brady gives his verdict on his former HC’s bleak situation.

Tom Brady added, “I’m surprised by a lot of things in the NFL.” The 7x SB winner went on to make a big reveal when he was a free agent. Despite being a legendary QB who ultimately became the NFL GOAT, he admitted, “I’m surprised when I was a free agent, there was a lot of teams that didn’t want me.” The NFL can be full of surprises! But the main question is why is Bill Belichick still jobless despite his killer resume?
