NFL legend confirms interest in teaming up with Bill Belichick

NFL legend Peyton Manning has confirmed his desire to team up with former rival head coach Bill Belichick. 

Manning has been making notable moves with his Omaha Productions company and now is ready to make a splash and land the legendary head coach.

“If it comes to fruition, I think fans will be excited to see how incredibly brilliant Bill Belichick is when talking about football and how witty and funny he is,” Manning told Andrew Marchand of The Athletic.

After spending 25 seasons with the New England Patriots, Belichick parted ways with the team, leaving a huge legacy in Foxborough after winning six Super Bowl championships. 

During the early stages of the NFL offseason, he was linked with the Atlanta Falcons and actually visited the team twice. Atlanta took a different route, however, appointing Raheem Morris as its new head coach.

This situation puts Belichick in a complex position. He still wants to coach in the NFL and compete and the highest level. However, several teams opted to pass on him and everything he brings to the table.
Even though the head-coaching market is closed this season for Belichick, his opportunities on the media are the complete opposite.

Besides Manning's company, Belichick is reportedly on the radar of notable networks. Time will tell if he decides to sit out this entire season and get ready for job openings next offseason or if he'll try to spread his knowledge to football fans with the most fitting platform. 

He's considered a hot candidate to return to the league next year and any media outlet that signs him must know Belichick could leave at any moment.
