Report Sheds Lights On When Tom Brady Found Out Bruce Arians Was Retiring

There’s been speculation that Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback, did not get along with Bruce Arians. There were even multiple reports that he retired from the NFL due to his relationship with the head coach.

However, Brady ultimately came back out of retirement, but not to play for Arians, who retired from coaching on Wednesday.

According to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, Brady learned of Arians’ plans “either the same day or a day after” he decided to return for another season on March 13.

#Bucs QB Tom Brady was informed Bruce Arians planned to step down and Todd Bowles would succeed him as head coach either the same day or a day after the QB announced he was ending his retirement, the @TB_Times has learned. Team insists it was not related to Brady’s decision.

Arians wanted to hand over a Super Bowl-caliber roster to the Bucs’ next head coach, who will be Todd Bowles.

“No. No. Tom was very in favor of what I’m doing. I had conflicts with every player I coached because I cussed them all out, including him. Great relationship off the field.”
