The man considered by many to be the best in NFL history will be coming to KTLA this fall.
The CW Network, which like KTLA is owned by Nexstar Media Group, announced Thursday that Bill Belichick will be one of the analysts on “Inside the NFL.”
Belichick coached the New England Patriots to six Super Bowl titles during his 24 years at the helm. Together with Tom Brady, Belichick helped create one of the most dominant dynasties in sports history.
Belichick joins Ryan Clark, Chad Johnson and Chris Long on “Inside the NFL.” Johnson and Long each played one season for Belichick in New England.
“I’m thrilled to join my new team at NFL Films and to work on such a historic television franchise,” Belichick said in a statement. “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’s foray into media — including appearances on ESPN’s “ManningCast” — comes after he sought and failed to find a head coaching role for this season. The Patriots and Belichick parted ways earlier this year after posting a 4-13 record in 2023.
“Inside the NFL,” which is in its 48th season, is produced by NFL Films. While Belichick was infamous for his short answers and refusing to engage with reporters while he was a coach, the times he has been revealing and forthcoming have often been on shows or pieces produced by NFL Films.
Belichick was nominated for a Sports Emmy for Outstanding Studio Analyst for his work on the 2019 NFL Films series “NFL 100 All-Time Team,” which aired on NFL Network.
