00:00How would you describe these last five years since Brady walked out the door?
00:05They've been disastrous and I think a lot of it traces to the decision to let him walk out the
00:11door because once that happened and the reason Brady left was because the Patriots were holding
00:20the door open for him for years and then by 2019 the summer of that year when they didn't give him
00:28a contract that he wanted to that pissed him off to an extent where you know he said I'm don't
00:33franchise me I'm not coming back I want to be a free agent you started playing footy with the
00:36dolphins so you could tell basically that sealed it but for Brady to be moved on from with the
00:43express logic being we can get oh we'll be fine without him we can we can replicate what he does
00:51he's he's the greatest player of all time but we'll still be fine was whistling past the graveyard
00:58and it was a there's no way the other way to avoid it it was immense hubris and ego to think
01:05that he was just another guy and they did think that they won million percent thought that that's
01:10why you're giving them at at highest 22 and a half million dollars against the cap that was
01:15the offer that bill made to him in the days before Brady made the announcement once Brady goes and
01:20wins the Super Bowl that's when all the guardrails went up that Robert Kraft went through the pain
01:26of watching Brady go elsewhere and had the whole of the agitation of Bill and Tom and having to
01:32to go through it sides with Bill and then Brady wins the Super Bowl that's when all the guardrails
01:37went up that's when Bill started kicking at the reins that were placed on him which he still
01:42complains about to this day that's when the collaboration came in that's when again they
01:49repeat the mistake by not having a succession plan in place for Josh McDaniels and again they say
01:55well what's the worst that can happen we'll just put people in charge here that that are smart
01:58football people we're really good at this job and then you alienate the young quarterback or you
02:03make him question what's going on and then you put him into literal exile so everything flowed
02:09from the Brady thing everything and it was very very much an ego situation in my estimation.
