"I haven't spoken to Josh about that, but I can understand obviously why people would have those guys at the top of their list," Brady said in an interview with WEEI in Boston. "Josh has done an incredible job. He's an incredible coach and a great friend. This is that time of year where coaches get an opportunity. A lot of coaches got fired and that means other guys will get hired. You want to take the good ones. We have some great coaches and Josh has been such a great coach for me. All those things sort themselves out. I am sure he will be focused on our team and what he needs to do to help us win just like everyone else will when the time comes."
