Tom Brady's Dad: Bill Belichick a 'Great Coach... Interpersonal Skills Are Horrible'

Tom Brady's father, Tom Brady Sr., respects former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick for his football mind, but believes he lacks "interpersonal skills."

Per the Boston Globe's Christopher L. Gasper (h/t Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith), Brady Sr. gave his thoughts on the legendary coach as he continues his search for a possible head coaching job.

"Bill is tough," said Brady Sr. "He runs a military system. It's a different generation. Bill is a great, great, great coach. But his interpersonal skills are horrible. That's the bottom line. How many times has he said — back in '15 or '16 — that he wanted to win without Tommy? When he went without Tommy, he didn't know what he was losing. You're losing more than just a quarterback. Ego sometimes gets in the way of things. I think it did with Bill. Now, he's in a situation where he's gotten crucified for the last few years by everybody and a lot of luster has come off his rose."

Through 20 seasons together, Brady and Belichick found plenty of success with six Super Bowl victories, but the unprecedented run ended in 2019 when Brady departed for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Now, Belichick has made his own split from New England and is looking for his next venture. With just one head coaching job remaining with the Washington Commanders, it seems the legendary coach might not land with a team during this year's coaching carousel.
