"Do another job. Do somebody else's job!"

Belichick is launching a new career in broadcasting after failing to land an NFL job in the offseason.
He was a successful guest of McAfee during the NFL Draft in Detroit.
As their show came to a close, McAfee heaped praise on Belichick for his contributions throughout the evening.
Calling him "a legend as a coach" and "a legend as a [general manager]," McAfee said he was confident Belichick would "crush" whatever challenge he took on next.
"Well, is there any chance I could be on your show during the fall?" Belichick asked.
He went on to explain that he "got fired twice in Detroit in '76 after the season they fired us, right, but then they couldn't get [coach Chuck] Knox to comes they rehired us, and then fired us in '77.
"So I don't want to get fired here tonight and make it a hat trick."
McAfee quickly suggested that Belichick gets hired instead, suggesting he appear every Monday in the fall.
The two immediately shook on it, much to the excitement of everyone on set as Belichick added, "Let's see if we can work that out."
