Bill Belichick will appear on EVERY ESPN 'Manningcast' this season, says Peyton Manning as he reveals why it was 'an easy pitch' to the coach

Bill Belichick is set to have a busy schedule in his new role as a TV analyst, as Peyton Manning revealed the legendary coach will join every 'Manningcast' this upcoming season.

Belichick, who parted ways with the Patriots in January, previously revealed that he would have a weekly guest spot on the Pat McAfee Show.

And the former Patriots coach has added to his slate on ESPN, as Peyton Manning revealed on Friday. 

'Bill is going to be a permanent guest on every 'ManningCast' show early in the game, probably the first quarter,' Peyton said on the Pat McAfee Show on Friday.

The former Colts and Broncos quarterback added that Belichick's role would be to, 'kind of take people behind the ropes as to what this defense has to do or what the quarterback's challenges are.' 

During the McAfee Show's NFL Draft coverage, which Belichick contributed to, both parties revealed that Belichick would be a regular this upcoming season.

'You're a legend as a coach, legend as a GM and I think, no matter what you chose to do forever, if you remain in television, which we would all be very lucky, you're gonna crush it. If you get back into coaching and GM'ing then we'll all be pumped to watch it... all we know is that tonight was awesome. Thank you,' McAfee said at the end of the show to the coach.

Belichick then asked the former Colts punter: 'Is there any chance I could be on your show during the fall?'

McAfee replied: 'Yeah like Mondays?' to which Belichick confirmed by saying: 'Yeah, something like that...'

The 'Manningcast', meanwhile, has drawn plaudits for its A-list roster of guests (Tom Brady, LeBron James and Will Ferrell, to name a few) and the Manning brothers' balance of jokes and hard analysis.

And Peyton certainly had that in mind as he talked about adding Belichick to the show.

'It was an easy pitch to Bill. I said, 'Bill, we want you to come on. Look, we'd love to go behind the ropes on the defensive side as to kind of what the Eagles are going to have to do to stop Patrick Mahomes, right?'

'And if you ever run out of things to say, just make fun of Eli, right? That's always sort of a time-filler. And Bill doesn't like Eli (who beat Belichick in two Super Bowls). We all know that - two Super Bowls - so it's just a match made in heaven.'

Belichick recently appeared on Netflix amongst a slew of other ex-Patriots for Tom Brady's roast.

At one point during the show, Belichick took a shot with New England owner Robert Kraft, who decided to move on from the coach this past offseason after 24 years.

And former Patriots receiver Julian Edelman said on his 'Names with Games' podcast that 'The tension in that room...  could cut f***ing glass.'
