Former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is taking a break from the NFL sidelines this season, with the six-time Super Bowl champion in New England failing to land a head-coaching gig during the NFL’s latest offseason coaching hiring spree this winter.
Instead, the 72-year-old Belichick will spend a year away from coaching in 2024, with the former Patriots stalwart reportedly set to join Peyton and Eli Manning on their “Manningcast” shows during Monday Night Football on ESPN.
But even though Belichick will remain involved in the NFL to some degree in 2024, there was seemingly a chance that Belichick could have shifted his coaching priorities to another sport near and dear to him this summer.
