Bill Belichick 'Definitely' Looking For TV Job, According To Son Steve

For the first time since 1974, Bill Belichick won't be on an NFL sideline this season. But according to his son Steve, the 71-year-old doesn't want to be completely removed from football.

In an appearance on the Green Light with Chris Long podcast, Steve discussed his father's life after the New England Patriots. Long came right out and asked Steve, "Is he OK?"

"I think he’s good, you know?" Steve replied. "Let the stuff roll off your back and move forward. He doesn’t dwell unless we lost the game and need to get on some guys, but eventually you’ve got 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.

"He’s definitely pursuing some other stuff, whether it’s TV or a regular on Green Light or whatever it may be."

Belichick and the New England Patriots cut ties earlier this month after a 24-year run that saw a staggering 31 postseason wins and six Super Bowl rings. Even with all that success, though, the Falcons were the only team to interview the future Hall of Famer for a vacant coaching position — and he didn't get the job.

Is Broadcasting The Next Step For Bill Belichick?

There's no denying Bill has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to football. And if he wants to pursue a career in media, it's hard to imagine he won't have opportunities. Especially if his December appearance on ESPN's College GameDay is any indication of what he'll bring to a broadcast.

"I hope he just goes out and is himself and, you know, shows his personality a little bit, which he doesn’t do most of the time — unless you’re in the building," Steve said.

"Putting on the helmet and stuff like that, he does sh-t like that a lot, but no one ever sees it. And so I was happy that people at least saw a better side of him that not a lot of people see."

Steve coached alongside his father for 12 seasons in New England. The 36-year-old was reportedly offered a chance to remain with the Patriots in 2024, but he chose instead to take the defensive coordinator position at the University of Washington.
