As Bill Belichick contemplates his next few years of work, we can save some time and skip the question about whether he’d be a fit with one of the NFL’s partner networks as a broadcaster. That’s an easy yes. If Belichick wants to do TV, both a slot and a contract will open up immediately. He’s in.

A more interesting question is how Belichick would fit on TV. And I think the answer is complex in ways that the coach’s surly, almost pointlessly uninterested posture during media scrums would never suggest.
