After winning the Super Bowl, forget about New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick visiting Disney World.
He’ll be taking care of his own personal bucket list with an even bigger source of fulfillment for him over the next several months.
Belichick is the son of a former Navy football coach who fought in World War II. He delights in historical topics. And his voice, although gruff to reporters, is suited for bigger things than talking about blitz tendencies and building his team through “a process.”
The Patriots coach has willingly accepted the role during the offseason as he’s agreed to narrate an upcoming PBS docmentary “D-Day: Over Normandy.”
Organizers of the project are understandable ecstatic with the coach’s involvement.
“Coach Belichick understands our mission because he is a student of military history and is very proud of the service of his own father Steve, who served in both Europe and the Pacific in World War II,” said Tim Gray, the chairman of the World War II Foundation, about bringing the five-time Super Bowl winner into his project.
Belichick is a great selection for the role.
But he might not be the best narrator in all of sports.
There’s a guy over on Spurs Lane who probably would have a similar passion if he was ever asked.
How great would Gregg Popovich be in a similar narrator’s role as he provided his own recognizable voice to opine on another historical project one of these days?
