The World War 2 foundation announced New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick will be the voice of D-Day: Over Normandy, a World War 2 documentary about the D-Day invasion which will air this spring on PBS.

Bill Belichick’s father, Steve Belichick, served in World War II with the U.S. Navy, so it’s not too surprising Belichick’s smooth, calming voice will be lent to a PBS documentary titled D-Day: Over Normandy. Though he isn’t known for being the most chatty person in the world, so it’s interesting that he will lend his voice to a documentary that is one hour in length.

Then again, Belichick is probably passionate about the subject considering someone so close to him participated in the war, so it shouldn’t be too hard for him to speak about World War II.

Both Bill Belichick and his late father Steve Belichick are outstanding football minds and are most often seen in that setting, but it’s nice to see them in a different light. This documentary will hopefully shed more light on that other side of them. He will show some other sides to him than the football side, which has dominated the majority of his life. But when you are the best coach in NFL history, football does have to dominate your life.

Belichick is a big fan of Navy football since his father coached there. He certainly shows a love for the troops serving overseas and the people who died for their country, which is a great quality in any coach or person for that matter. Belichick once infamously repeated a line throughout a press conference saying “We’re on to Cincinnati” repeatedly, referring to his focus on next week’s opponent.

So I guess Belichick will be on to Normandy after defeating the Falcons in Super Bowl 50.
