Jerod Mayo has been talking about his buddy from the Patriots. Tom Brady’s coaching career at the New England Patriots is “always open,” according to head coach Jerod Mayo. After 20 years and six Super Bowls with the Pats, Brady announced his retirement from the game in 2022. However, he did acknowledge this month that he would “not be opposed” to a playing return if the right situation presented itself. While he was cool to see Brady back in pads, Mayo—who succeeded the legendary Bill Belichick as New England’s head coach at the end of the previous season—discussed his old teammate on “The Greg Hill Show” on WEEI. He also said he wouldn’t think twice about giving Brady his first coaching position. The inexperienced head coach declared, “The door is always open if he wants to come in here and coach.” “But I’m not sure about going on the pitch.” August will mark Brady’s 47th birthday, and Mayo doesn’t think he’ll be playing football anytime soon. He said, “I don’t think he’s going to be coming through these doors anytime soon.” Brady inked a ten-year contract worth up to $375 million, and he will start as an analyst for Fox for the upcoming season. But it hasn’t eliminated speculation about whether he would want to play again. When asked if he would contemplate a return if a playoff-bound team lost its starting quarterback to injury late in the season last month, Brady responded, “I’m not opposed to it.” “I have no idea whether they’ll let me; I have no idea if I end up owning an NFL franchise. I promise to never go out of shape and to always be able to toss the ball. I wouldn’t be against it, but I’m not sure whether they would let me. The Patriots seem to have their quarterback situation locked up after selecting Drake Maye with their third overall draft choice last week. Veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett was also added to the squad after being signed as a free agent.
