Breaking News: For now, Tom Brady is more focused on Fox job than Raiders role…see more

When the Raiders fired coach Pete Carroll, the official announcement explained that, “[m]oving forward, General Manager John Spytek will lead all football operations in close collaboration with Tom Brady, including the search for the club’s next head coach.”

Brady’s ability to collaborate closely has taken a back seat to his ongoing job with Fox. “I couldn’t afford to pay to be a general partner. I did very well in my career. It’s awesome to kind of help shape and strategize and be a visionary for a team. I love being involved in football.”

Brady’s vision for 2025 didn’t go well, even if he hasn’t received widespread scrutiny or criticism for the disastrous outcome to the 2025 season. This year, it will be harder for Brady to distance himself from the results.
