Eight-time Super Bowl-winning coach Bill Belichick has found another gig for the upcoming NFL season.
The CW Network announced Thursday that Belichick will be an analyst on “Inside the NFL.” He’ll join host Ryan Clark, a Super Bowl champion safety, Pro Bowl wide receiver Chad Johnson and two-time Super Bowl champion defensive end Chris Long on the panel.
“Inside the NFL” is entering its 48th season and will open its second season on The CW on Friday, Aug. 30 (9 p.m. ET/PT).
“Not only is (Belichick) one of the most accomplished coaches in NFL history, but his knowledge and passion for football is truly unmatched,” said Dennis Miller, president of The CW Network. “Fans will now get the chance to hear his insights and better understand the nuances of the game from the master himself.”
Belichick spent 29 seasons as a head coach with the New England Patriots and Cleveland Browns, winning six Super Bowl titles in 24 seasons with the Patriots. He also won two Super Bowls as defensive coordinator for the New York Giants.
He and the Patriots agreed to part ways in January after a 4-13 season. Belichick, 72, didn’t land any of the coach openings during the offseason.
In addition to his work with “Inside the NFL,” Belichick is set to join the “ManningCast” during ESPN’s “Monday Night Football.”
He has tried his hand in media before.
In 2019, he partnered with NFL Films on the series “NFL 100 All-Time Team,” which won an Emmy and earned Belichick a nomination for Outstanding Studio Analyst.
He also provided analysis in April on “The Pat McAfee Show Draft Spectacular,” which streamed on ESPN platforms during the first round of the 2024 NFL draft.
“I’ve always appreciated ‘Inside the NFL’s’ depth of analysis, and I hope to bring the same detailed insight to The CW by talking real football with real pros – Ryan, Chris and Chad – this coming season,” Belichick said.
