Tom Brady and Bill Belichick were an unlikely pair who ended up as a part of the same organization back at the start of the 20th century.
Brady, the last quarterback to be drafted from the 2000 NFL draft, arrived in New England as the backup to a backup. However, 20 years down the line, he left the Patriots as the greatest quarterback the league had ever seen.
Brady and Belichick won six Super Bowl championships while working together in New England. On the football field, the duo came across as father and son. But off it, there were multiple rumors of something totally different.

Let’s not talk about ‘what ifs’ and ‘maybes’ and stick to the facts. Brady chose to leave the Patriots for a new challenge at Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Consequently, Belichick shoulders the responsibility to rebuild the entire team around veteran Cam Newton (who has seen a series of injuries over the last two years) and the inexperienced Jarett Stidham.
Skip and Shannon believe Bill Belichick is content after Tom Brady left
On a recent segment of Skip and Shannon: Undisputed, the hosts brought up the viral picture of Bill Belichick eating a Subway. The veteran coach was reportedly shooting for a commercial when the pictures were captured.
Twitter did its thing and now the photo of the veteran coach absolutely devouring a Sub is going viral. Honestly, we won’t be surprised if it turns into a meme either.
“When I first saw it, I laughed and I laughed and I laughed. Is Bill Belichick so happy that Tom Brady is gone? Out of sight and out of mind. This man is coming out of his rough, tough shell.
“He’s in somewhere Bradford, Connecticut. Whatever, it’s a small town,” Skip Bayless said.

NFL Hall of Famer, Shannon Sharpe, also had a hilarious take on the topic.
“I love it. Tom Brady been holding coach Belichick back, That would tell me that he feel liberated. He gets an opportunity to spread his wings and be the coach we knew him to be.

“Because everybody says, ‘Coach Belichick has a sense of humor, Coach Belichick is outgoing and he has a great personality.’ Tom was holding him back so now he gets an opportunity to show the true ‘William Belichick’. I love it,” Sharpe said.
