Bill Belichick, the legendary head coach of the New England Patriots, is reportedly considering a move to college football with the University of North Carolina. While it was expected that Belichick would return to the NFL in 2025, he may be leaning toward taking on the Tar Heels’ head coach position. His potential move to college football is intriguing, as he would have to adjust to recruiting, but his name alone would elevate North Carolina’s status.
NFL insider Dianna Russini of *The Athletic* reports that Belichick is seriously discussing the job with UNC, and if offered, he is likely to accept. Belichick, who enjoys teaching football, may be ready for a change after waiting for NFL offers. He is one of several candidates for the role previously held by Mack Brown, and discussions are reportedly genuine.
Additionally, Belichick’s contract negotiations might include a request for his son, Steve Belichick, to be named the coach-in-waiting to take over the program when he retires. This idea is said to be something North Carolina is open to. The situation is developing, and it seems more likely that Belichick could be the next head coach of the Tar Heels.
