Legendary former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick is making a big splash in the world of sports broadcasting this fall as he joins “Inside the NFL” as an analyst. The news was announced recently, with Belichick set to join the show’s panel alongside host Ryan Clark, two-time All-Pro wide receiver Chad Johnson, and two-time Super Bowl champion defensive end Chris Long.
Produced by NFL Films, “Inside the NFL” is a long-running show that will air weekly on The CW network, starting on August 30 at 9 p.m. ET. Belichick, who led the Patriots to six Super Bowl titles during his illustrious coaching career, expressed his excitement about joining the show and working with his new team at NFL Films.
“I’m thrilled to join my new team at NFL Films and to work on such a historic television franchise,” said Belichick. “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, who also won two Super Bowls as the defensive coordinator of the New York Giants, will be entering his 50th season working in the NFL in 2024. His addition to “Inside the NFL” has been described as a game-changer by Dennis Miller, the network president of The CW.
“Bill Belichick joining ‘Inside the NFL’ is a true game-changer for this storied franchise and The CW,” said Miller in a statement. “Not only is he one of the most accomplished coaches in NFL history, but his knowledge and passion for football is truly unmatched.”
“Inside the NFL” will be entering its 48th season on television, with previous homes on HBO, Showtime, and Paramount+ before landing at The CW in 2023. In addition to his role on the show, Belichick has also secured weekly gigs this season on ESPN’s Pat McAfee Show and on the “Manningcast” alternate telecast of Monday Night Football on ESPN2.
With his wealth of experience and expertise in the game of football, Belichick is sure to bring a unique perspective and valuable insights to “Inside the NFL” this season. Fans can look forward to hearing his analysis and commentary on the show starting later this month.
