“Drove him nuts” - Colin Cowherd claims Tom Brady is done with Tampa Bay’s coaching staff

Tom Brady is staring down the crossroads of what's next. Down one path is the FOX contract he signed last offseason to call games for the network. Down another path is a return to the league but with a new franchise. Another path would return him to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, according to Colin Cowherd, the quarterback is less inclined to jump at the idea of rejoining the same staff.

Speaking on "The Herd with Colin Cowherd," the show host revealed that an inside source had told him of the quarterback's frustration with the staff. Here's how he revealed the tidbit of information before concluding with his own interpretation:

"I was told a week ago from somebody close to Brady that the lack of details on the offensive coaching staff drove Brady nuts. Too sloppy too often... He's the oldest kid at summer camp, and he just needs some new counselors."

The quarterback of the Buccaneers having problems with his coaches is not new to Tampa Bay. It was rumored last year that the quarterback played a part in Bruce Arians' decision to step away from the head coach role. Arians remained with the team but entered the front office close to when the quarterback announced his return to the team.

Nothing was confirmed other than circumstantial evidence and the timing of it all. Todd Bowles took Bruce Arians' place as the head coach. In their first season since the switch, the team went from a Super Bowl contender to an under .500 outfit that failed to put up a fight in their only playoff game of the season.

In the days following the loss, the team fired their offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich and numerous assistants. Will that be enough to walk Brady back from the brink?
