Bill Belichick isn't going anywhere in 2024.
After agreeing to part ways with the Patriots following the end of the 2023 NFL season and — perhaps surprisingly — failing to garner another coaching gig in 2024, one could be forgiven for expecting the 72-year old to lurk in the shadows, at least in the short-term.
Instead, Belichick is on the move, trading the sidelines for the studios during the upcoming NFL season.
Ever the showman, Belichick will grace televisions across the country for a variety of programs, including, most notably, "Breakdown", a series that centers around the finer points of the sport he knows and loves so.
He's not the only acclaimed specialist slated to make an appearance on the program, however. He'll be joined by his longtime adversary, Peyton Manning, the talisman behind so many of those Colts sides that pushed Belichick, Tom Brady and New England close on numerous occasions.
Belichick and Manning have a well-documented bond with one another, having developed a mutual respect amid their epic clashes. Now, fans will get a chance to witness that connection firsthand. All under the banner of the Worldwide Leader in Sports.
Here's what you need to know about Belichick and Manning's upcoming television release, "The Breakdown."

Belichick and Manning will take their talents to the small screen, serving up analysis and tactical insight on ESPN+ as a part of "The Breakdown with Peyton and Belichick."
Crafted by ESPN, the new program will allow the Hall-of-Fame caliber figures to showcase their footballing IQ while assessing the two teams due to face off in various iterations of Monday Night Football.

The 30-minute show is set for an 11-episode season. "Manningcast", the program Peyton hosts with younger brother Eli during "Monday Night Football" broadcasts, will also run for 11 episodes. Belichick will be a part of those broadcasts, as well, lending his gridiron chops as one of the first guests on each "ManningCast" episode.
Belichick is on an award tour of sorts with ESPN and its numerous subsidiaries this season. In addition to "Breakdown" and "Manningcast", the eight-time Super Bowl champion will also make weekly appearances on "The Pat McAfee Show."
Additionally, Belichick will appear on The CW's "Inside the NFL" alongside former NFLers Ryan Clark, Chad Johnson and Chris Long. He'll also hand off advice to viewers in a weekly show set to be broadcast by Underdog Fantasy.
All of that is to say, it's shaping up to be quite a busy end of the year for the Hooded One. You'd have to imagine that his new employers — be that ESPN, the CW or Underdog Fantasy — are making it more than worth his while to secure his services.
