Bill Belichick Looks Satisfied in Life Outside of Coaching

After spending 24 seasons with the New England Patriots, many expected Bill Belichick’s first season away from the field to be challenging. However, much to everyone’s surprise, Bill seems to be happier than ever.

Starting with his personal life, Belichick’s low-key love life has been anything but private in recent months. The 72-year-old former head coach stirred up considerable attention back in June after being spotted vacationing with 24-year-old former cheerleader Jordan Hudson.

While quite a few showed discomfort about the age gap of the couple, the majority were happy to see Belichick finally allotting time for his love life, which had taken the back seat during his grueling NFL career.

On the professional front, Belichick has surprisingly made the switch to being a media personality. For a head coach known for his aversion to media interaction, Belichick has not only chosen to become a broadcaster but is also excelling at it.

Be it the ManningCast or The Pat McAfee Show, the winningest head coach is often seen on our TV screens, appearing on various ESPN shows doing punditry. And to top this off, the legendary NFL HC has also debuted on YouTube with his own “Belichick Show.”

Bill’s YouTube venture is a daily affair with collaborators, former NFL GM Mike Lombardi and ex-Lions HC Matt Patricia, where the trio gives an in-depth analysis on the burning topics of the game week.

While Bill seems to be enjoying analysis and play suggestions, he is also seen enjoying the trivial parts of show business. For instance, in one of his latest videos, Bill and Matt were seen cutting up films and labeling them accordingly.

On paper, this may seem like a trivial act essential for their analysis. However, the joy with which the duo performed this task clearly showed how content Belichick and Matt have been with their YouTube venture.

Another reason for Bill’s happiness in his time away from the NFL can be attributed to the family time he can spend now. For someone who we have grown up seeing wearing a Patriots hoodie on the field; it was refreshing to see Belichick spend time on the sideline with son Stephen, who is a defensive coordinator with the Washington Huskies.

That said, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Bill pounce back to the NFL if the chance arrives. After all, football has been his life. And it turns out that the chance may come sooner than later.

Belichick to the New York Giants?

Contrary to popular perception that Belichick after his Patriots stint had no offers on the table, the Croatian did in fact, have a few. However, they weren’t for the role of a head coach.

As the defensive mastermind he is, reports state that the six-time Super Bowl winner had no shortage of suitors interested in him for the defensive coordinator role. But Belichick knew that it wasn’t enough.

A part of what makes Bill happy in his time away from the field must be a lack of insecurity about himself. The Croatian knows his worth fully well, which is keeping him away from making desperate decisions.

Moreover, the path that he has chosen currently is the best and most balanced option he could have taken. If no team ever opens up to his prospects, his media resume until then would be his cash cow. On the flip side, if a team does open up to his prospects next season, his year off the field can be looked back as a learning curve.

That said, Belichick, according to reports, has his heart set on coaching. While this isn’t breaking news, what’s interesting is the most likely destination that’s opening up for him.

With HC Brian Daboll of the New York Giants being heralded as the first sack of the season, betting odds suggest Bill Belichick is the front-runner for his job. Interestingly enough, the Croatian in the early parts of his career started off as a DC for the Giants.

While it’s hard and unfair to wish for a coach’s sacking, for Belichick fans, it might be the best outcome to see their GOAT one last time on the field. With that being said, it will be interesting to see how the Croatian navigates the final years of his coaching career.
