Bill Belichick added another job to what will be a busy post-coaching career this season.
After 24 seasons at the helm with the New England Patriots, the 72-year-old ended his sideline duties in Foxborough at the end of last season. While he struggled to find another coaching job, many opportunities fell on Belichick’s lap, especially in media.
On Wednesday, Adam Schefter reported that Belichick had taken another media role as a strategic advisor for the 33rd Team.
The emerging media and technology company consists of former players, coaches, and executives. The cast of characters—parlayed with a group of veteran writers, analysts, and insiders—makes for a good source of NFL news and analysis from people who have worked in the league.
Fellow ex-NFL coaches Matt Patricia and Adam Gase are also joining the 33rd Team alongside Belichick.

Belichick’s schedule this season will be packed as he took on his sixth role to fulfill with the 33rd Team gig.
His regular appearances include the Pat McAfee Show on ESPN once a week and a Monday Night Football preview with Peyton Manning every Friday.
He will also join the Manning brothers, Peyton and Eli, on the Manningcast for the first half of the NFL season.
Additionally, the eight-time Super Bowl champion will be an analyst on Inside the NFL alongside Ryan Clark, Chad Johnson, and Christ Long. He will also host his football show, COACH, on Underdog Fantasy.
Belichick memorably won six Super Bowl titles in New England with Tom Brady as his quarterback. He also won two as an assistant coach with the New York Giants.
