Tom Brady, the NFL legend, reveals the harsh truth about why talented players aren’t able to go on to become great coaches. The 46-year-old officially retired from the sport in February 2023. Since then, the fans have been pleading with the GOAT to come back to the NFL as a coach, if not a quarterback. Brady has stuck to his hill and refused to consider these requests.

The former QB for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had the most exceptional career in the history of the NFL. During his 20 seasons time with Belichick’s Patriots, he won over 7 Super Bowls, the most out of anyone. Even after almost a year of his retirement, Brady is a name that is on the tip of every fan of football. As such, the movement to bring back Brady as a coach gains more and more traction every day. Now, as he reveals the truth behind the curtain about coaching, maybe the fans finally have an answer to justify his reasons.

In a recent episode of the ‘Let’s Go!’ podcast, Tom Brady invited Michael Strahan, the former Giants’ DE, to talk about why good players in the NFL rarely go on to become greater coaches. Both these legends had a good conversation about the world of football and Brady gave his opinion on what his thoughts on the coaching situation are like.

Brady said, “Obviously it’s a certain commitment level. It’s a lot of hours. And also a lot of coaching is connections too. They’re using their connections to build that program. I don’t think that you have those connections built up as a player. Now if I wanna build up a business, I wanna get some amazing men.” Brady said.

He further added, “I wanna get guys that I know what their values are. I know they’re going to work hard, I know they’re going to be selfless and I know they’ll try to do the right thing. The coaches have their coaching fraternity and the fraternity is a very tight-knit group. You know, you’re never gonna see a coach talk bad about another coach because they’re not gonna get more jobs!” With this response, Brady has made it clear as to why he wouldn’t be interested in coaching football anytime soon. Also, when asked about if he will ever step foot on the field as a coach, this is what the Patriots’ star had to say.

Will Tom Brady ever want to coach football? The NFL legend says no with no future considerations.

Brady decided to hang in his cape with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after a glorious career of 23 seasons. He shed his blood, sweat, and tears into the essence of the sport and soon became a household name for every fan who claims to love football. To this day and age, the fans talk about Brady’s return on the daily. As such, even if they can’t have Brady back in the number 12 jersey, they would gladly have him back on the sidelines barking orders at the team.

When asked about his thoughts on coaching again, this is what the former QB had to say: ” I think being a great coach is the desire to be a great coach. You know, not whether a player can become a coach. I think having the knowledge to do football, but is this something that you’d want to do and enjoy in order to maximize and actualize your potential as a coach? Those are things for different people to answer. Some people love being in the arena and some people love talking about it. You know, it’s up for everyone’s desire to do what they want, but to have the opportunity to do it I think is pretty cool for former players as well.”

Thus, it is clear that the return of Brady to the gridiron is highly unlikely at this stage in his life, just a year after officially calling it quits from football. We as fans, will cross our fingers and utter a soft prayer for his return every day, until the day the football stops turning the way it does.

"Language is courage: the ability to conceive a thought, to speak it, and by doing so to make it true."- Salman Rushdie Hi, my name's Jeevesh Singh and I'm an NFL writer here at EssentiallySports. The sport has been on my radar because of the sort of aggressiveness with which the game is played, perhaps the only one in the world that allows such a brutal display of power.
