Tom Brady names who he believes is one of the greatest NFL head coaches of all time

Tom Brady is set to return for his 23rd season in the NFL and third with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It goes without saying that he has been in the public eye for the better part of two decades. From social media to charity events and TV commercials, the quarterback has expanded his brand enormously since leaving the New England Patriots a few years ago.

Brady recently appeared on the Dan Patrick Show to talk football. The 44-year-old was asked a host of questions, including who he feels is the best head coach of all time.

"I've been around great mentors in my football career, you know, being blessed to get drafted by the Patriots," Brady said. "I was around one of the great owners in the history of the NFL and Mr. Kraft, one of the greatest head coaches in NFL history in you know, in Coach Belichick.

Brady also hailed the influence of several members of the Patriots coaching staff over the years.

"Josh McDaniels, Charlie Weis, Romeo Crennel, I mean, the list goes on with the coaches that have been around general managers, Jason Licht, Scott Pioli. I get to be around players, you know, I had the best players, you know, I was around the best defensive players, offensive players."

New England Patriots still searching for success after Tom Brady's departure

It shouldn't come as a shock that the veteran named Bill Belichick as one of the greatest head coaches of all time. It’s a sentiment shared by many. Belichick was the quarterback’s coach for nearly two decades and they won six Super Bowls together.

Belichick will now hope to have similar success with Mac Jones running the offense. The Patriots have a strong attacking unit bolstered by the addition of DeVante Parker.

Brady, meanwhile, will head into the 2022 season hoping to make one last run at the Super Bowl. His stiffest competition will likely come in the form of defending champions, the Los Angeles Rams.
