Tom Brady has made a career out of winning games for the New England Patriots, but the surefire Hall of Famer doesn’t want to add to his win total once his playing career is over.

The perennial Pro Bowl quarterback was asked Wednesday if he would consider coaching when he finally hangs up his cleats, and Brady quickly shut down that idea.

“Coaching wouldn’t be for me,” Brady told reporters. “No, certainly not. I like playing. I wouldn’t be a good coach. I don’t have the patience to be a coach.”

Brady has had more than his fair share of success on the field, ranking third all-time for regular-season wins by a quarterback to go along with his four Super Bowl rings. But he’s also had an up-close look at one of the best coaches in NFL history and wants no part of what Bill Belichick has had to do to be successful.
