Tom Brady’s decision to leave the Patriots in free agency after the 2019 season didn’t just put an end to the Patriots’ two-decade dynasty.
It also marked the beginning of the end for his longtime head coach in Bill Belichick, who went 29-38 over the next four seasons with just one playoff appearance before the Patriots opted to move on following a disastrous four-win season in 2023.
But, in an excerpt from Gary Myers’ new book “Brady vs. Belichick: The Dynasty Debate”, Belichick told Myers that Brady made the right call in opting to leave New England in search of another Super Bowl contender — deeming the situation in Foxborough an “impossible situation” for the star quarterback.
