Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick may want to spend the 2024 season on a TV network, but the feeling might not be mutual.
According to The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand, TV networks might be hesitant to spend a ton of money on Belichick. That’s because he could return to coaching as early as 2025.
“The issue for Belichick is there’s a feeling – and it’s pretty understood – that he wants to coach again,” Marchand said. “To make such an investment when it might be for only one year, places might be hesitant for that. Belichick is a little different. What does he want? That’s a question for him because he doesn’t have to do this.”
Even though networks might not want to take this risk, Marchand said former NFL star Peyton Manning wants to add Belichick to his team for Omaha Productions.
Belichick hasn’t commented on his future since parting ways with the Patriots. His son Steve, however, provided a few updates during a podcast appearance.
“I think he’s good. Let the stuff roll off your back and move forward,” Steve Belichick said, via Sports Illustrated. “He doesn’t dwell, unless we lost the game and he needs to get on some guys, but eventually you need to turn the page. Honestly I wasn’t too involved in any of that stuff, he did his thing, I did my thing and that was kind of that.”
Time will tell if Belichick lands a TV gig for the 2024 season.
