NFL coach Mike Tomlin could pivot to television and be a sought-after studio analyst. Fox is the frontrunner to hire him for its Fox NFL Sunday after Jimmy Johnson’s retirement, with ESPN, NBC, CBS and Amazon Prime Video also eyeing him. There are no immediate openings that would pay Romo/Aikman-level salaries, but Tomlin could still command multi-million offers and wait for the right coaching job or a TV career.
Former NFL player and current TV analyst Richard Sherman, 35, was arrested in King County, Washington, on suspicion of driving under the influence. This is not his first brush with the law, as he previously pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges in 2022. Sherman, known for his Super Bowl appearances with the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers, transitioned to TV work in 2022.
Tom Brady confirms he will join Fox as the lead NFL game analyst alongside Kevin Burkhardt, dispelling doubts about his future TV plans and expressing excitement about the opportunity. Meanwhile, it's increasingly likely that Bill Belichick will work as a TV analyst this fall, as no NFL franchises have offered him a coaching contract. The NFL's TV viewership continues to soar, with CBS's coverage of the AFC Championship Game setting a new record, and Fox drawing a huge number of viewers for the NFC Championship Game.
After parting ways with the New England Patriots, Bill Belichick may take a year off from coaching and become a TV analyst in 2024, following rumors of interest from the Atlanta Falcons. While there's still a desire for a coaching return, taking a year off could give him time to prepare and put together a staff. With his impressive resume and potential to break Don Shula's all-time win record, teams are likely to show interest next offseason, but Belichick is expected to be picky and seek total control in his next coaching role.
