Tom Brady doesn’t believe that Bill Belichick is solely responsible for the New England Patriots’ struggles

But the days of Belichick’s Patriots’ dominance have seemingly come to an end with New England bottom of the AFC East at 2-8.

And as rumors continue to swirl suggesting this could be Belichick’s final season with the franchise, Brady has made his thoughts public on what his former coach and team need to change if they’re to turn things around.

Speaking on the Let’s Go! podcast, Brady said: “You’ve got to change your strategy, different weeks, there’s different challenges, and I think the Patriots, they’re just having a tough stretch, just not playing with the kind of confidence that you’ve always seen.

“Obviously Coach Belichick, I don’t think he’s coaching any different now than the way he coached when we were undefeated. There’s a lot of things that need to go right in order to win and succeed.”

Their first ten games of the 2023 season have represented the worst start to a year to date for Belichick since he took over in 2000.

But while questions grow surrounding his future as the blame game does its rounds, the same can also be said of key players including quarterback Mac Jones.

And as far as Brady is concerned, the Patriots’ struggles are on everybody, not just his former coach.

“The more I sit back and watch, everyone wants to celebrate when you win as an organization; everyone’s responsible,” he said.

“And the same’s true, everyone’s responsible when you lose, too. Everyone can’t be on the bus when you win and be off the bus when you lose and [say], ‘Let’s point the finger at one person.’

“When you look at losing, the whole organization loses, the fan base loses; everyone’s in it together. It’s hard to get it right. And when you get it right you should really appreciate it.”

Belichick will have another chance to right the ship in New England on Sunday as they head to the 2-8 New York Giants.

This will then be followed by three tough games against the LA Chargers, Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Whether this is enough to save Belichick’s job remains to be seen, with reports having suggested his departure is all but confirmed already.

It was reported prior to New England’s Week 10 10-6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Germany by The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, that “a mutual parting of the ways” between Belichick and the team was a possibility.

On Tuesday, ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky seemingly confirmed this report on The Pat McAfee Show.

After McAfee added that Belichick would likely “go coach somewhere else if that’s the case,” Orlovsky added: “I’ve heard more and more of that over the past week.”

He went on to say: “Who knows the likelihood of it, but I’ve heard that that’s gonna happen and I’ve heard the location is already kind of determined as well.”

As for where Belichick could go next, NFL reporter Gary Myers linked the Chargers, Washington Commander, and the Dallas Cowboys with the future Hall of Fame coach in a tweet.
