Bill Belichick‘s busy schedule won’t allow for much time for appearances on podcasts and shows including the “ManningCast.”
The 73-year-old was a recurring guest on the ESPN show for Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli Manning. He also hosted podcasts and appeared on “The Pat McAfee Show” weekly.
Of course, Belichick had a lot more free time on his hands as a member of the media before he became the UNC Tar Heels football coach.
But the elder Manning confirmed Belichick won’t return next season to 97.1 The Fan during a Pro-AM event at the Muirfield Village Golf Club in Ohio.
“He obviously seems busy right now coaching college football, so he won’t be back this year. He’ll be hard to replace,” Manning said. “I thought his insight was great, but we’ll probably go back to kind of rotating guests and having coaches and players. Which I always like their insight. But also the actors and musicians that — you know, the common criteria to be a guest is you got to love football. And Eli and I both love being around people who love football as much as we do. And all different walks of life, right?”
Belichick has done a few interviews to help promote his book, “The Art of Winning,” but they’ve been overshadowed by the role his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, has played in them. But now with his focus on building a strong football program in Chapel Hill, he likely won’t have time to commit to something the way he did in 2024.
