Earlier in the week, Bill Belichick was named the head coach at the University of North Carolina for the men’s football program. Belichick, an eight-time Super Bowl champion, had been contributing across different media entities throughout the NFL season after he and the New England Patriots decided to mutually part ways following the 2023 campaign. While there has been speculation surrounding his involvement in future endeavors, there seems to be some newfound clarity surrounding the situation.
A new report from Andrew Carter of the Raleigh News and Observer indicates that Belichick will continue making appearances on The Pat McAfee Show and Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli despite serving as the head coach for UNC. This information was gleaned after a conversation with athletic director Bubba Cunningham and subsequently shared on X. The plan for Belichick beyond this season, however, is not currently known.
Belichick is only slated to appear on the ManningCast one more time this season when the network broadcasts a game in the opening round of the NFL playoffs. Furthermore, he makes Monday appearances every week on The Pat McAfee Show, a similar setup to former Alabama head coach Nick Saban in his final season with the university.
In addition to his work with ESPN and Omaha Productions, Belichick has participated in a wide variety of media ventures over the last several months. On the audio side, he has hosted podcasts with Underdog Fantasy and SiriusXM, and has also contributed to Inside the NFL with The CW and NFL Films. At the moment, it remains unknown if Belichick will continue his work with these or any media ventures by the time the new college season commences.
