Could there be a ‘ManningCast’ style format with Saban and Belichick?

Since Nick Saban retired as head coach of Alabama and Bill Belichick parted ways with the New England Patriots, many have speculated as to what each will do next.

Saban last month already signed a deal with ESPN to join the College Gameday broadcast as an analyst.

Belichick, meanwhile, still wants to coach but did not get a job this cycle and discussion has been had as to whether he would want to do media.

Now, Peyton Manning and his production company Omaha Productions, who are largely responsible for the popular Monday Night Football alternate ‘ManningCast’ broadcast, are reportedly trying to make a similar style with Saban and Belichick a reality.

Andrew Marchand of The Athletic reported that Manning is heavily pursuing Belichick and that the idea if he were to land the legendary coach would be to pair him with Nick Saban on another alternate broadcast.

Saban and Belichick previously have worked together while Belichick was the head coach of the Cleveland Browns and having hired Saban as his defensive coordinator.

The two have been friends for over 30 years. A potential broadcast with the pair would be something millions of football fans would likely tune into.
