Tom Brady is eager to work with Bill Belichick yet again, despite the coach currently contracted with the University of North Carolina. Brady, who owns a small stake in the Las Vegas Raiders, will have an important say when it comes to the hiring of the new head coach. The Raiders recently fired Antonio Pierce from the head coach position after their abysmal season.
The Las Vegas Raiders finished the regular season as no. 4 in the AFC West after winning four games and losing 13. Lastly, the Raiders were paired with the Los Angeles Chargers and lost the game with a final score of 34-20. The Raiders were coached by Pierce who was promoted to the position after the previous coach was let go.
According to NFL insider Tom Pelissero, Bill Belichick is being seriously considered as a head coach candidate, especially eyed by Brady. Apparently, Brady has been in talks with Belichick about him landing the deal, and leaving his job as college football coach with the University of North Carolina.
“Multiple NFL teams have inquired about whether legendary coach Bill Belichick would reconsider his move to college football – including the Raiders, whose new minority owner Tom Brady spoke recently with his old coach, per league sources.”, Tom Pelissero tweeted through his X account.

Indeed, the Raiders do not have a great track record when it comes to hiring and retaining the right coaches, with them changing five HCs in the last five years. Perhaps, Tom Brady’s advice can bring them to the right track.

Therefore, it came as a big shock to fans as Brady recently revealed to his friend, Rob Gronkowski that he is having money issues, and is struggling financially. The discussion continued with playful banter before the two old friends.
Despite the entire conversation ending in jest, fans were definitely surprised to know that Brady, of all people, is also struggling to work with his finances, despite earning so much. Apart from working as a current broadcaster for FOX, Brady has multiple businesses and is also a part-time owner of Las Vegas Raiders.
