Apparently that's the talk, according to Cowherd.

Brady apparently hated the offesnive staff this year and said everything was run too loose and too sloppy by Leftwich, and so the Glazer family canned Leftwich in hopes of retaining Brady.

Now, Brady will basically have his pick of OC (if he stays) and they are trying to sell family proximity (Giselle and kids in Miami) and that his OLine will be healthy next year and that he can input on the OC and offensive personell this offseson.

No mention, however, of replacing Bowles... Which is a scary concept if you're Brady and this is likely your last year... And your favorite coach ever is in Vegas with a loaded offensive roster, Taylor made for your skillet... And Tampa is not.

Who are they going to hire there? Bill O'Brien??

His oldest is starting high school and playing QB, he definitely wants to be close.

But if I’m Tampa, am I going head over heels turning over your staff for a guy that’ll be there for 1 year?

I imagine it’s a financial win if it turns into a Super Bowl.

to be able to toss a coach or two under the bus anytime he's on a mediocre team. Does anyone actually believe Leftwich could overrule Brady on anything?

Everything was too loose? That's on Todd Bowles being a lame duck. He is the main problem. Dude has the charisma of a rock. Idiot just stands there looking like a dumbass. I really don't know what teams are thinking giving HC jobs to retreads. Allen, Bowles, McDaniels all disasters.

Exactly. By retaining Todd Bowles the Bucs are guaranteed to suck.

yeah, going into the season, people were questioning Dennis Allen the most out of the guys you listed.

and that's fine. I don't have confidence in him myself.

But no one was on Todd Bowles or Mcdaniels's case headed into the season it seemed like.

The sad part about Dennis Allen and how I'm sure Saints management will spin things is that the division is there for the taking. I think the Saints will keep operating the same way they have before and not try and grow a pair and switch some things up. But if it doesn't at least there would be more pressure to make a change the year after.

I'll give Bowles some credit, at least he was willing to shake up the coaching staff.

I don’t think their struggles can all be blamed on the coaching staff. Tampa lost 3 starting d-linemen before the season started. Brady benefited from having consistently one of the best o-lines year-in and year-out in New England. A patchwork o-line does no offense favors. Just look at the Saints.

Leftwich is a Scapegoat.

Tom Brady had an impossibly amazing run of skill and glory. But how old is the guy now? Gonna be 48 yo? The divorce obviously broke him in 2022. The FTX scandal (for his part / loss of $$$) also didn't help. And maybe he is finally feeling aches and pains.

Brady didn't look like "Brady"...AT ALL.

2022: Totally un-Focused. The usual swag was long-gone his teammate fed off was AWOL. Sulking half the time, head down. Brady's Body Language was turrible. (and you know it affected the entire team's performance -- including the Coaching Staff.)

For once can somebody just say it? TOM BRADY HAS LOST IT.

Part of the "Magic" and aura of Tom Brady has always been his confidence and ability to inspire his teammates above and beyond to "Believe!" HE FAILED THIS YEAR. TB12's MOJO...IS GONE. There's no getting it back. It's time for the man needs to leave the game -- before he gets hurt.

He plays it up because it’s the socially acceptable thing to do but everyone knows deep down he doesn’t give a frick about his family.
