REPORT: Bill Belichick Makes Final Decision On North Carolina Head Coaching Position
New England Patriots legendary head coach Bill Belichick has been out of the job since the beginning of the year, when he and the Pats decided to part ways.
Those days are officially over.
After several days of negotiations, Belichick has reportedly “agreed” to become the next head football coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels.
The Guardian’s Ollie Connolly was the first to report that the six-time Super Bowl champion will be taking his talents to the sidelines of the Tar Heels to succeed Mack Brown after he was fired.
Connolly added that Bill Belichick handed the school a 400-page “organizational bible” with structure, payment plans, staffing choices, and other information.
He is expected to know the school’s decision “within 24 hours.”
Representatives from the university met with the eight-time Super Bowl winner last Thursday.
He last coached during his final season with the Patriots in 2023.
The last time Belichick interviewed for a coaching job was with the Atlanta Falcons regarding the team’s head coaching vacancy before Raheem Morris was eventually hired.
NFL Execs ‘Laughed at’ Bill Belichick, North Carolina Contract Rumors
Not many saw Bill Belichick possibly becoming the head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels, but it appears we are on the heels of it happening.
Apparently, his interest in the job wasn’t taken seriously by NFL executives, according to Mike Sando of The Athletic.
“Some NFL executives also laughed at the idea,” Sando reported on Monday.
The 72-year-old has certainly shown them that he is ready and willing to coach.
