Tom Brady is reportedly eyeing a reunion with legendary head coach Bill Belichick in Sin City.
In one of the more surprising developments of the 2024 NFL offseason, Bill Belichick was passed over in the head coach hiring cycle following his departure from the New England Patriots. The Atlanta Falcons were the only team that interviewed Belichick, but they hired Raheem Morris instead.
On Tuesday, NFL owners approved of Brady’s bid to become a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. The team, owned by Mark Davis, is enduring a frustrating season (2-4) that could spark massive changes in 2025.
One of those changes could involve the head coaching position if Antonio Pierce can’t improve this group down the stretch. If that happens, Brady will reportedly look to reunite with Bill Belichick in Vegas.
During the latest edition of “The Kirk Minihane Show”, the popular podcaster reported that Brady plans to reach out to Belichick and see if there’s interest in becoming the Raiders’ net head coach:
“People have told me that Brady’s first move is going to ask Bill Belichick if he’s interested in being coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. Two sources have told me that, two high up in the Patriots organization have told me that.”

Brady and Belichick, of course, were together with the New England Patriots from 2000 to 2019. They led the Patriots to nine AFC Championships and six Super Bowl championships (2001, 2003, 2004, 2014, 2016 and 2018) to become the greatest dynasty in NFL history.
It’s been widely reported that the seven-time Super Bowl champion left New England because of a soured relationship with Belichick. But of course, Brady wouldn’t have to deal with him as a player on a day-to-day basis, so there’s no reason to think a reunion in Vegas would go sideways.
Bill Belichick Would Give The Raiders Coaching Stability
Since Mark Davis inherited the team from his late father, Al, in 2011, the Raiders have had eight different head coaches. Jon Gruden was the longest-tenured HC in that period, from 2018 until his resignation in 2021.
The Raiders need coaching stability, which they had with John Madden and Tom Flores in their glory days of the ’70s and ’80s. Belichick, the greatest coach in history, would provide just that.
