Bill Belichick is looking for a job. Peyton Manning wants to give it to him.
Manning admitted he hopes to hire Belichick to work for Omaha Productions in 2024.
“If that happens, fans will be excited to see how talented Bill Belichick is when it comes to football and talking about football.” How witty and funny he is'' Manning told TheAthletic.com's Andrew Marchand.
As recently reported by Marchand, multiple networks I talked to Belichick.. The challenge for the former Patriots coach will be choosing the right position to give him the best chance of landing a head coaching job in 2025, assuming he wants it. There were seven vacancies outside of the Patriots in 2024, so Belichick only interviewed once. The challenge for the network will be accepting the reality that he may only stay one day.
It's more complicated than it looks. Issues of power and the perception of power will complicate the internal dynamics of any team considering him. Perhaps more importantly, the fanbase needs to buy into this move. If Belichick is as attractive as Manning thinks he is, that part can be taken care of.
Manning knows how to charm. He did it so well that he'll be in the booth for NBC's Olympic Opening Ceremony alongside Mike Tirico and Kelly Clarkson. This was announced on Tuesday and is expected to become a reality in July.
