Tom Brady recruits Bill Belichick to coach Raiders in ‘recent’ conversation

After all, Tom Brady’s relationship with Bill Belichick hasn’t soured.

Despite his former coach’s shocking move to North Carolina, the former Patriots quarterback, who is now a minority owner of the Raiders, has spoken “recently” with Belichick about reuniting in Las Vegas. NFL Network reported Wednesday.

The report indicates the two spoke before the final decision was made to fire first-year coach Antonio Pierce on Tuesday.

Brady wanted to know “what it would take” for Belichick to take the Raiders job.

“Several NFL teams” have asked if Belichick would return to the pros, the report added, after he stunned the football world last month by accepting the Tar Heels’ job.

Brady, 47, and Belichick, 72, won six Super Bowls together with the Patriots over 20 seasons before Brady left for the Buccaneers after reported tension between the two.

Brady won a Super Bowl in his first season in Tampa, while Belichick struggled for four seasons without his longtime quarterback, reaching the playoffs just once before parting ways with New England last year.

There was little interest in Belichick during last year’s coaching cycle; he only interviewed the Falcons, who hired Raheem Morris.

Belichick then took on a handful of media jobs for the 2024 season, when many believed he would try to return to the NFL and attempt to break Don Shula’s all-time coaching wins record, which he trails by 14.

But with NFL interest uncertain, Belichick took the UNC job — only after reaching out to the Jets about their vacancy following Robert Saleh’s midseason firing, The Post’s Brian Costello reported last month.

His contract has a buyout of $10 million should he leave before June 1 of this year, but drops to $1 million after that.

Las Vegas has already requested interviews with Lions coordinators Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn, according to Sports Illustrated.

Brady will reportedly have “a lot” of influence in the team’s coaching search.
