Bill Belichick Could Be Headed to College Coaching Role
According to a recent report, 72-year-old Bill Belichick may be considering a move to the college coaching ranks. The legendary coach, who spent nearly 50 years in the NFL, has interviewed for the head coaching job at the University of North Carolina.
This would be Belichick’s first college gig, following a 24-year run as head coach of the New England Patriots, where he won six Super Bowls. He has also had successful stints as head coach of the New York Giants and as a defensive coordinator.
Belichick’s interest in the UNC job is surprising, as he has been a constant presence in the NFL for most of his career. However, he has been linked to other coaching openings in the past, including with the Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Chargers. He has since become a popular media personality, appearing on the “ManningCast” on “Monday Night Football” and serving as an analyst during the 2023 NFL Draft.
If Belichick were to take the UNC job, he would replace Mack Brown, who has a 288-155-1 record at UNC, Texas, Tulane, and Appalachian State. Belichick’s father, Steve, coached at Navy, but this would be the first college coaching position for Bill Belichick.
