It wasn’t long before Brady responded to the claims and rubbished them. According to former New York Daily News journalist Gary Myers, Brady’s had a “deteriorating relationship” with McDaniels. Hence this play a role in the quarterback’s exit from the franchise.
Myers believed that McDaniels ‘wore out’ Brady after all these years and wanted more input into the game plan. On Monday night, Brady took to Instagram to clear the air and deny that McDaniels was a reason he left New England.
“Please stop this nonsense!” Brady wrote. “Please be more responsible with reporting, 19 years together and brothers for life.”

Tom Brady and Josh McDaniels have massive respect for each other
It also worth noting that both McDaniels and Brady have praised one another publicly. When Brady elected to leave the Patriots, McDaniels released a glowing statement about his time coaching the six-time Super Bowl champion.
“I have so much gratitude for Tom Brady,” McDaniels’ statement read. “He has made me a better coach and more importantly a better person. He has always been genuinely kind and caring to me and my family. Yet at the same time, I have never met anyone as demanding and relentless in his pursuit of improvement, perfection and championships. His work ethic and drive propelled our offense and our team to perform at the very highest level throughout his career.”
“He represented all of us with class and integrity. We will miss his passion and intensity, his character and wisdom, and his preparation and diligence. I will miss all the meetings, FaceTimes, emails and texts in our pursuit of a good play. He always performed his best in the most critical times under the most significant pressure. I have never coached a tougher player in my career.
