Bill Belichick's Next Team Odds: Where will the Hall of Fame coach be in the future, if he does?

To know Bill Belichick's next move, you have to know the man. This is a quagmire because his gruff asides and demeanor at the press conference belie a man with a sly sense of humor. Love the Jerky Boys, and what seems to be the kind of personality you want from the father-in-law archetype – which is a bit scary at first. However, you'll have a beer together and laugh after dinner when he confides in you a little.

So Belichick's next move will likely be shrouded in secrecy and perhaps a surprise (at the heart of Frank Rizzo's calls — or any prank calls — is the element of confusion).

However, the possibilities remain, forcing us to create a multiverse of limitless Belichicks in our minds, standing on the sidelines in Falcons, Titans, or Seahawks jerseys. So let's dive into:

Where will Belichick coach next?

The planes being listed are just a funny troll job.

“No team” is the only way to go

There is a lot of momentum in favor of the “no team” option. That's assuming Belichick gets tired of the grind. Nick Saban retiring for real and sitting on Florabama Beach for a few years doing TV gigs? One can understand that – in a world of no-frills commutes and zero craziness, this doubles the stress of life. But the NFL job — while filled with stories of coaches obsessively sleeping in their cars, or working out at the facility at 4 a.m. before a day of meetings and tape — still carries with it less responsibility and can lean more toward “this “. It is a line of business.

Belichick will be 72 years old in the NFL Draft. Looking back at the history of the oldest NFL coaches, you already had Marv Levy, George Halas, Romeo Crennel and Carroll before Belichick. Tom Coughlin was 69 years old when he retired! Dusty Baker was 73 years old when he won the World Series with the Astros. Remember Jack McKeown's presence That old man is chomping on a cigar When he led the Marlins to a World Series win in 2003? He was 72 years old. True, he came back and managed the team on an interim basis in 2011 when he was 80, but that was an emergency takeover for half a season. Even Bill Parcells left the Jets at 58, did television for a short time, then came back and coached the Cowboys for four years before quitting at 65. The point is – does Belichick want to commit to the hassles of player evaluation, preseason? And training and everything in between for another four or five years? Or does he want to be a regular 72-year-old sitting in the studio laughing with an Adam Aiser, listening to Jim Florentine as he drives to the grocery store?

Actually, I'll give you a better set of possibilities, because I'm pretty sure he won't go coach a team: What network/streamer will Belichick end up going to? My hunch is that although networking sounds attractive, he's not going to want to put up with the structured way of it – being told what to do, being counted down by the producer through IFB, and having to rush through sound bites. Maybe he doesn't even like the people sitting at the desk with him. I can see Belichick going to ESPN and either joining the Manningcast or starting his alternate version of that somewhere (working title “Beliclicks”). Maybe even with Amazon, which had multiple feeds (including the Dude Perfect one) as it tweaked its Thursday Night Football presentation this season.

So I would say:

• CBS: +250
• NBC: +275
• Fox: +500
• ESPN: +550
• Amazon: +550
• Highchair: +12000

Invest your money in the No Team option while you still can, and there's still extra money left. Belichick is not a robot. He's a 72-year-old man who loves tapes of prank calls. He'll want to enjoy life, not make a three-year run with the Falcons on a memorable assignment, leaving him a stressed-out 75-year-old finally realizing he should have been riding off into the sunset in 2024.
