And he has also signed up to replace iconic quarterback Tom Brady on the ‘Let’s Go’ podcast.

Brady, 47, co-hosted the SiriusXM offering alongside Jim Gray and Larry Fitzgerald.

But his move into the FOX Sports booth has opened up a seat, which will be filled by Belichick.

“For 20 years, I threw the ball for Coach Belichick,” Brady said.

“Now I am passing the microphone to him on ‘Let’s Go!’

“I will be listening every week as I know Bill and Jim will have lots of great conversations, and I’m looking forward to my guest appearances and joining them during the season.”

“I thank Tom for recommending me. When the opportunity was presented by Jim I said, Let’s Go,” Belichick said in a press release.

“When people say, ‘Let’s Go!’ it conveys a sense of camaraderie and teamwork that all involved share the same goals and excitement.

“And that’s exactly how I feel to be joining the ‘Let’s Go!’ team at SiriusXM.”

Belichick will be joined by Gray and Las Vegas Raiders superstar Maxx Crosby when the show kicks of on September 2.

Earlier this month, he began one of his new broadcasting roles on ESPN as a guest analyst on The Pat McAfee Show .

It follows a successful appearance in April during McAfee’s annual live Draft Spectacular from Detroit, which left viewers wanting more.

Fans broadly loved Belichick’s insight, but not everybody was impressed.

One of Belichick’s stances was that while running the Patriots, they would not renegotiate contracts unless they were in the final year.

'Don't do your job'

Bill Belichick is known for telling his former New England Patriots players to 'do your job.'

But he took aim at Rob Gronkowski during the Tom Brady roast.

“You know, a lot of people connect me with a saying called, ‘Do your job.’ And telling people to do their jobs,” Belichick said.

“Gronk, I’ve been watching on Fox NFL Sunday and I’m begging you – stop doing your job.

“Do another job. Do somebody else’s job!”

“I think when you start renegotiating with two years to go, again, you could have a 15-man parade come in there with two years to go that want to renegotiate,” he commented.

Belichick also explained how incentives could be used to smooth over differing opinions in valuations between the team and the player.

He is also slated to appear on ESPN’s alternative Monday Night Football broadcast the ‘ManningCast’ alongside hosts Peyton and Eli Manning throughout the season.

Belichick will also join The CW Network’s Inside the NFL where he’ll be working as an analyst together with Ryan Clark, Chad Johnson, and Chris Long.

The veteran will also produce a YouTube series with Underdog Fantasy titled ‘Coach’.

'I want him to be great'

Terry Bradshaw has given Tom Brady some advice ahead of the seven-time Super Bowl champion joining him on Fox's NFL coverage.

And the Pittsburgh Steelers icon said he is rooting for Brady to succeed.

“ Tom has always had a protection thing there,” Bradshaw told US Weekly .

“We know about his wife, we know about his kids. We know a little bit about him, but we don’t really know him. In Tom’s situation, there is a certain amount of unknown that spurs on curiosity.

“I want him to be great, and I think he will be. But we don’t know enough about him.

“Will we see a different side? Will he be funny? Will he be witty? Will he break the game down properly?

“I’m pulling for him, because television is not easy. You can’t lie to the camera because it picks it up.”
