Who was Tom Brady's head coach for most of his career?

Bill Belichick was Tom Brady’s head coach for most of his NFL career. Belichick coached Brady with the New England Patriots from 2000 through the 2019 season, covering 20 seasons of their historic partnership.

Together, Brady and Belichick led the Patriots to six Super Bowl victories, nine Super Bowl appearances, 17 AFC East titles, and 30 playoff wins. Their collaboration became the foundation of the Patriots dynasty, which dominated the NFL for nearly two decades.

Brady spent his final three NFL seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where his head coaches were Bruce Arians in 2020 and 2021 and Todd Bowles in 2022. That is why Belichick coached Brady for most, but not all, of his career. Bill Parcells coached the Patriots before Brady became their starter, making him another name sometimes associated with the franchise.
