Eight-Time Super Bowl Winning Coach Bill Belichick Joins The CW Network’s ‘Inside the NFL’ as Analyst

The CW Network today announced the most successful coach in NFL history and eight-time Super Bowl champion, Bill Belichick, will join the Emmy Award-winning “Inside the NFL” for its second season on The CW beginning Friday, Aug. 30 (9-10 p.m. ET/PT). Belichick will sit alongside Emmy Award-winning host and Super Bowl champion safety Ryan Clark, Pro Bowl wide receiver Chad Johnson and two-time Super Bowl champion defensive end Chris Long for a powerhouse panel combination of talent and experience as they dive deep into the most important stories and trends of the NFL season every week through the Super Bowl.
 
“Bill Belichick joining ‘Inside the NFL’ is a true game-changer for this storied franchise and The CW,” said Dennis Miller, president, The CW Network. “Not only is he one of the most accomplished coaches in NFL history, but his knowledge and passion for football is truly unmatched. Fans will now get the chance to hear his insights and better understand the nuances of the game from the master himself. We cannot wait for Bill, Ryan, Chad and Chris to deliver a championship-caliber show all season long.”
 
“I’m thrilled to join my new team at NFL Films and to work on such a historic television franchise,” said Belichick. “I’ve always appreciated ‘Inside the NFL’s’ depth of analysis, and I hope to bring the same detailed insight to The CW by talking real football with real pros – Ryan, Chris and Chad – this coming season.”
 
“Over the years, NFL Films and Coach Belichick have enjoyed a long and collaborative relationship,” said Steve Menzel, senior producer and showrunner, NFL Films. “Adding his football mind to an already impressive roster on ‘Inside the NFL’ presents an incredible creative opportunity.”
 
Belichick is considered by many to be the greatest coach in NFL history. Over 24 seasons as head coach of the New England Patriots, his teams won an unprecedented nine AFC Championships and six Super Bowls. Before New England, he spent five years as head coach of the Cleveland Browns and won two Super Bowls as defensive coordinator of the New York Giants. In 2019, Belichick partnered with NFL Films on the series “NFL 100 All-Time Team,” which won an Emmy Award and earned Belichick a nomination for Outstanding Studio Analyst. This year will mark his 50th straight season working in the National Football League.

Every Friday night throughout the season, “Inside the NFL” sets the stage for the games ahead, by combining expert analysis with pivotal game action captured by NFL Films’ legendary cinematographers and exclusive all-access “mic’d up” audio.
