Tom Brady ‘sour’ with Bruce Arians?
Former NFL guard Rich Ohrnberger; who worked alongside Brady under the New England Patriots recently took to Twitter and stated that Tom Brady and Bruce Arians‘ relationship was ‘souring’ and their ‘honeymoon’ was over, which may have fueled the QB to pursue retirement.
Rich tweeted: “Heard some interesting things recently… The Tom Brady & Bruce Arians honeymoon was over in Tampa. The retirement announcement wasn’t because of the trouble seeing eye to eye on the offensive game planning, but the relationship was souring.”
Rich also mentioned that Arians made quarterback Tom Brady and offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich feel ‘undermined’ when their plans were discarded by the coach. There was some ‘tension’ around.
Apparently, while Arians was rehabbing the achilles in the early mornings, offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich and Brady would work on the week's game plan. Arians would later come in and take the red pen to work they'd done. The QB and OC felt undermined, there was tension.

These statements by Rich can be rumors, but they came as a fresh version indicating Brady’s retirement and gave the Twitterverse a new aspect to talk about. However, Brady had positive words for Coach Arians on his post uploaded via Instagram; and vice versa.
There may have been some disagreements, but surely no bad blood among both entities. Although, one point is obvious that his departure does not relate to the trouble regarding offensive game planning.
