During Monday’s episode of the Pat McAfee Show, Belichick had to make it known that he wouldn’t answer any questions about his future coaching career.
“Pat, alright, so, you and I had this agreement that this question wouldn’t be asked of me when I came on the Pat McAfee Show,” Belichick said.
“You had [Darius Butler] toss it out there and I know you’re a man of your word.
“So I’m going to have to go back into my press conference mode and say, we’re just trying to focus on the next day.
“I’m just trying to focus on doing a good job on the Pat McAfee Show.”
Belichick notably made his exit from the NFL at the end of last season after 24 years with the New England Patriots.
It was expected that another team would quickly swoop him up, but at the end of the coaching cycle Belichick was left without aa job.
The only interview he got was with the Atlanta Falcons, but they opted to hire Los Angeles Rams assistant coach Raheem Morris.
Belichick is now spending his time in the NFL media on Monday Night Football and the Pat McAfee Show, but it is expected he will try to make a return to coaching in 2025.
McAfee continued to press him on this, explaining that NFL reporter Adam Schefter reported on the subject.
“So ask Adam then,” Belichick said.
Schefter explained on the Pat McAfee Show that NFL teams could start talking to Belichick and former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel before the season ends.
“What’s going to be interesting to me here is with so many good coaches on the sideline, Bill Belichick, Mike Vrabel, some experienced guys,” Schefter said.
“Are there going to be teams that speed up the look around Thanksgiving to get a jump on talking to some of these guys?
“You can talk to Belichick today… you can talk to Pete Carroll today.”

Two teams are already in need of head coaches after mid-season firings.
The New York Jets parted ways with head coach Robert Saleh earlier in the season while the New Orleans Saints fired Dennis Allen last week.
Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus could also be on the hot seat as the team underperforms with rookie quarterback Caleb Williams.
The Dallas Cowboys are also expected to be on the hunt for a new head coach this offseason.
With 337 career coaching wins under his belt, Belichick will likely find a new job in the upcoming coaching cycle.
