The potential conflict of interest of Tom Brady the analyst and Tom Brady the Raiders’ minority owner, isn’t a problem for Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni.
For over a year, there’s been a lot of talk about Tom Brady’s potential conflict of interest as both an analyst for FOX and a minority owner in the Raiders. The discussion was highlighted two weeks ago when he was seen up in the booth with Las Vegas coaches during their Monday night game.
Now, Brady has been assigned to call the Eagles-Buccaneers game in Week 4, but head coach Nick Sirianni isn’t concerned about divulging information to someone connected to an opponent they’ll face this year. Instead, Sirianni downplayed the information shared in pre-production meetings ahead of games.
“SIRIANNI: All my interactions with Tom Brady have been really positive, really good and respect the heck out of him and his view on football and what he’s done, and so I have nothing but respect for him. But I would say those production meetings, regardless of the crew, are very similar to an interaction [interview] that we have here in our building.”
Most coaches have shared similar sentiments and weren’t, at least, publicly, calling for the NFL to figure out this unusual dynamic. Plus, Sirianni has a reputation for always keeping any competitive advantage close to the vest, so whether it’s Brady or someone else doesn’t matter much for the Eagles coach.
