Because all time greats are excellent at obscuring flaws within a system. Bill is one of the best we've ever seen at coaching defenses so the DC cannot be gauged objectively and Brady similarly cloaked offensive ineptitude for years.
Not all that surprising that an organization that was effectively a two person brain trust has failed to bear successful fruit.
Total defensive ranks from 2001 to the end of bradys tenure
24, 23, 7, 9, 26, 6, 4, 10, 11, 25, 31, 25, 26, 13, 9, 8, 29, 21, 1
Average 16.21. In a league of 32 teams the patriots were defensively average during bradys tenure
He was decent as a DC but i wouldnt say he's some amazing defensive coach that just blows everyone away. He wasnt ever the best defensive coach in any era he coached in. The pats offense regularly outpaced the defense, even in the early years when they were allegedly carrying brady and the offense
