This is more like if Jimmy and Jerry had been able to swallow their pride and get along for multiple decades until Jimmy's career ran its course and he was about done anyway. (Not that Jimmy had it in him to coach that long anyway. He burned out quick.)
This whole hissy fit has made Brady look like such a child. As if success in your career endows you with lifelong untouchable status such that the team is handcuffed to you until you're dead.
Teams have to be willing and able to move on. Handcuffing yourselves to someone forever simply isn't smart.
The Belichick-era Patriots only broke through in the first place because they were willing to roll with it when a replacement for Bledsoe, the previous face of their franchise, came along. The Red Sox wouldn't have broken through in 2004 if they hadn't been willing to move on from shortstop Nomar Garciaparra, the one-time untouchable face of the franchise.
The early '90s Cowboys dynasty obviously never happens unless we move on from Landry as we did.
Teams have to be willing to move on, even from huge names that are untouchable faces of the franchise.
