When Bill Belichick stepped down new England Patriots With the 2023 NFL season looming, many assumed the legendary head coach and sure-to-be first ballot Hall of Famer would have a spot on the sidelines for the season.
But that doesn’t mean Belichick is walking away from the game he loves.
If anything, he’s becoming even more involved in the NFL, albeit one he does so near a microphone, as he enjoyed during his years as a coach.
Belichick has planned several analyst roles for the upcoming season, including an announcement Wednesday that he is taking on a role as a “strategic advisor” 33rd team, As described in Wednesday’s press release, Belichick is “an emerging media and technology company focused on providing unmatched NFL insight through an unmatched list of NFL-experienced contributors.” In addition to this role, Belichick will contribute to the following outlets during the upcoming NFL season:

- perfect Inside the NFL Analyzing the NFL with Ryan Clark, Chad Johnson and Chris Long,
- Appearance with Jim Gray in the weekly magazine let’s go show on SiriusXM, and;

In many ways, these moves were part of the Belichick personality during his years in New England. The old saying about Belichick press conferences was: “Ask him a football question, get a football answer.” If you asked Belichick who the starting quarterback would be next week, you’d get a curt reply of “We’re on to Cincinnati.”
But if you asked him anything about long snapping or the mechanics of blocking angles from an unbalanced line, you would get a long discourse on the history of the game and an in-depth analysis of the strategy involved.
In some ways, this future was predicted last winter, when Belichick College Gameday The match was held before Army–Navy, which was held at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, the Patriots’ hometown. Belichick’s presence opened up another window About his potential future as an analyst, and that’s an entertaining – and great – thing:

Like the past several NFL seasons, you’ll see plenty of Belichick this year, and maybe even a side of him you aren’t familiar with.
But this will help everyone understand the game a little more.
