Hot Damn!….
Good for Him and the University of North Carolina….
And ole dog is goinna do new tricks……
Bill Belichick, the longtime NFL coach who won six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots but has not led a team in a year, will be the next football coach at the University of North Carolina, the school announced Wednesday. He agreed to a five-year deal pending approval by the board of trustees, the university said.
The deal is valued at $50 million over the five years, a person briefed on the terms told The Athletic, speaking on condition of anonymity because the finances of the agreement were not made public.
“I am excited for the opportunity at UNC-Chapel Hill,” Belichick said in the announcement. “I grew up around college football with my dad and treasured those times. I have always wanted to coach in college and now I look forward to building the football program in Chapel Hill.”
Belichick, who left the Patriots after the 2023 season, will move to the college ranks after spending his entire coaching career in the NFL. He agreed to fill the vacancy left by Mack Brown, the winningest coach in North Carolina’s history, who was fired just before the end of a tumultuous 2024 regular season in Chapel Hill.
During his 24 seasons with the Patriots, Belichick won six championships while paired with Tom Brady at quarterback, a run that cemented Belichick as one of the NFL’s most decorated coaches. He has 333 wins, including games in the regular season and playoffs, and is 14 victories away from tying Don Shula for the NFL career record for head coaches.
Belichick has worked in the media since departing New England, but it has long been clear that he was looking to coach again….
Note…
The 72 year old coach has a 24 year old girlfriend…..
Maybe that’s what made him change things up.?….
