During Monday night’s ESPN telecast of the Brigham Young University’s football game against Navy, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick made a surprise phone call into the broadcast booth to talk about the game.

What resulted may have been the longest live television interview Belichick has ever participated in.

Take a listen to the football encyclopedia that is the mind of Bill Belichick as he recalls from memory Navy’s 1967 season, other memories, and even shares some in-game analysis.

Bill Belichick calling in to talk football during this BYU/Navy game was fantastic.

He’s a sneaky good commentator for a guy who is known for not saying much.

Belichick of course, has deep roots with the Naval Academy football program while growing up in Annapolis, Maryland.

His father Steve, worked primarily as a scout for Navy for over 30 years, exposing his son to the game at an early age.

During his tenure as Patriots head coach, Belichick has made a point to take his teams on special trips to the Naval Academy, and presently has two graduates under contract in long snapper Joe Cardona and practice squad tight end/fullback Paul Quessenberry.
