NFL legend and current UNC Tar Heels head coach Bill Belichick did more than just say goodbye to Peyton and Eli Manning during his final appearance on Monday night's Manningcast —he also prognosticated the latter's Hall of Fame future.

On the final ManningCast episode of the 2024 season, Bill Belichick made his opinion on New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning's Hall of Fame case.

The Manning brothers wore Belichick's iconic quarter-zip hoodies in honor of his last show this season. Belichick has appeared in the first half of the Manningcast throughout the 2024 season after his 24-year tenure with the New England Patriots ended last year.

Bill Belichick, who got his coaching start at the University of North Carolina, continues to be a massive influence in the NFL world. The post Eli Manning Confirms Request for Bill Belichick Before UNC HC Echoed Gold Jacket Support for Giants Legend appeared first on EssentiallySports.
