Tom Brady coming out of retirement was one of the most cherishing moments in the history of the NFL. When everyone thought it was all over, the GOAT surprised his fans with his decision. The head coach of Tampa Bay, Bruce Arians, has a similar take on the matter.

While talking to NFL Network’s Steve Wyche during the league meetings, Arians revealed how desperate they were to find a replacement for the seven-time Superbowl champion. He says that there was a sigh of relief once Brady made his return.

If not Tom Brady, then Who?

No doubt, Tom Brady shall forever remain an asset to the game. Whoever has him as the signal-caller the team shall become one of the greatest in the league. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had somewhat similar feelings before Brady decided to retire.

The news was an extreme shocker for the 68-year-old head coach Bruce Arians. He said that the management started to uncover as many stones as possible once Brady left the zone. “We would’ve turned over every stone… GM Jason Licht did his calls. We were in the midst of all that stuff when Tom decided to come back and thank God we could say, ‘No, thanks, brother. We’re out of it.’” Arians explained the entire atmosphere inside the management room.
