Anybody who thinks Bill pushing out Brady only for him to suck and Brady to win a SB without him did not change the calculus is delusional.This is like saying Bill's legacy will go down as the coach who pushed the GOAT QB out the door when he couldn't win before or after him. The reality is more people will remember it going as long as it did than that it inevitably ended. If Brady had some long career in Tampa or Bill was ever going to have some Andy Reid style resurgence on another team, maybe it would be looked at differently. But the truth is, nobody is going to weigh losing 3 years of Tom (imo only 2 being good) while probably seeing Bill's final NFL game coached and saying that is bigger than the 20 years they had.
Before that happened, most of the NFL and fans here (as proven by the many posts after Brady left and before he played for Bucs) thought Bill was the main reason for the dynasty, that he made a 6th rounder turn into the goat and that he could plug in any QB and win. Yes, a very delusional thought process and yet that was the majority.
That is no longer the thought process.
