Brady must have ordered the hit.
Brady comes back, Arians retires? Coincidence? Even the bastard coaches who won Super Bowls with him cant stand the prick!
It’s very possible. According to one of Cowherds sources, when Arians would be down in the trainers room rehabbing his injured leg, Brady and Byron Leftwich would be coming up with the weeks offensive game plan and then leave it sitting there. Later Arians would come up and look at it and start marking it all up with red pen and changing it all.
So I’m sure Brady was not happy about that. I guess Arians wasn’t happy that they did it without him, as well. So it sounds like there was a major disconnect there between Brady/Byron and Arians.
Knowing this, I find it interesting that Bowles was named head coach. If Arians was actually forced out I wonder if he gave the condition that he’d go if Bowles was named the head coach and not Leftwich. Could he be thinking he’d have some influence over his loyal buddy Bowles?
This would also explain why Leftwich backed out of the Jags job. Maybe Tom called him and told him what was cooking in Tampa.
