Brady 'surprised' Belichick hasn't landed new HC job yet

Tom Brady is among those surprised that Bill Belichick remains unemployed after parting ways with the New England Patriots in January.

On Monday's episode of his "Let's Go!" podcast, Brady shared his thoughts on Belichick failing to land a job during the latest NFL head coach hiring cycle.

"I'm not one to hire (coaches)," the former Patriots quarterback said. "I don't know the criteria for hiring these guys, for hiring coaches. I have never been a part of it.

"I mean, I'm surprised that the greatest coach ever doesn't have a job. Absolutely. But I'm surprised (by) a lot of things in the NFL."

Brady, who played under Belichick for 20 years, pointed out that he was also passed over by several NFL teams after leaving New England in 2019.

"When I was a free agent, there was a lot of teams that didn't want me," he said, adding, "there's a lot of things that happen that, for one reason or another, don't go exactly the way you think they should go."

The 71-year-old Belichick spent 24 seasons as head coach of the Patriots, leading the team to six Super Bowl titles and nine conference championships. He ranks as the second-most winningest coach in NFL history behind Don Shula with 333 victories.
