Jason Kelce vs. Belichick
“I think it’s more likely Kelce ends up on a [pregame show] desk than Belichick. First off, he’s kind of all-in with the podcast that he has with his brother. And I just think long term, he looks likes somebody who could do it,” said Andrew Marchand from The Athletic. Marchand added that the issue with Belichick is that he probably wants to coach again. He further added that it’s confusing to gauge what Belichick wants.
