Legendary football coach Bill Belichick is joining “Inside the NFL” for its second season at The CW. The new season is set to premiere on Aug. 30 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
“Bill Belichick joining ‘Inside the NFL’ is a true game-changer for this storied franchise and The CW,” said Dennis Miller, president of The CW Network. “Not only is he one of the most accomplished coaches in NFL history, but his knowledge and passion for football is truly unmatched. Fans will now get the chance to hear his insights and better understand the nuances of the game from the master himself. We cannot wait for Bill, Ryan, Chad and Chris to deliver a championship-caliber show all season long.”
Belichick will appear on the panel show alongside Ryan Clark, Chad Johnson, and Chris Long. The group will do a weekly discussion on all things football every week of the NFL season through the Super Bowl.
“I’m thrilled to join my new team at NFL Films and to work on such a historic television franchise,” said Belichick. “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 is widely regarded as one of the best coaches in NFL history. He most famously coached the New England Patriots to six Super Bowl championships and nine AFC championships. He also won two Super Bowls with the New York Giants, where he was defensive coordinator, and previously served as head coach for the Cleveland Browns.
“Over the years, NFL Films and Coach Belichick have enjoyed a long and collaborative relationship. Adding his football mind to an already impressive roster on ‘Inside the NFL’ presents an incredible creative opportunity,” said Steve Menzel, senior producer and showrunner for NFL Films.
“Inside the NFL” has been on the air for 48 seasons total, moving to The CW in 2023. Ross Ketover, Keith Cossrow, Ken Rodgers and Jessica Boddy serve as executive producers. NFL Films produces.
