His girlfriend has already enrolled. I kid. He wants to coach again. Consulted with KF.
Bill Belichick Reported to be Next Coach at UNC
- Thread starter Johnsoda123
- Start date
KF hitting 200 next year, retiring from Iowa, and then coaching OL at NC in 2026 was not on my bingo card, but props to him!
I do not think this is going to end well
He'd better get recruiting, he has 7 kids that have signed NLI. He isn't exactly Deion Sanders either.
Don't you think the name does the recruiting?
He's one of the few that I think will have pull regardless of NIL. Wouldn't you want to play for a guy with fist-fulls of Super Bowl rings? He knows what it takes at the next level and I would think those who want to get there will at least talk to him. Could be wrong.
That said, it's not like he's going to be there that long given his age.

I don't think the name means much to these kids, he is a known hard ass with a non-sense attitude. I do think he is great at managing insane personalities. They could net an absolute haul from the portal with troubled kids that he could possibly turn around.
You think Deion recruits on his name? He recruits on what he says he'll do for the kids, and his name backs him up on it. Good chance of a similar situation here.
My gut feeling is that it’s a mistake by UNC. I struggle to see Belichick enjoying recruiting
He just doesn't seem like a college coach kind of guy to me. To go from where he was to where he is just doesn't fit. With that said, UNC seems about as good a fit for a coach like him in college football. High academics and not just anybody can get in so he's going to be working with typically intelligent players and that'll probably help. I just don't envision him really going to recruits houses to sell himself to them or the parents. Not saying he won't but this whole thing feels odd.
He does recruit on his name. He had proven nothing prior to coaching at JSU, and that was JSU alone. Skill position players will continue to go to Colorado, but they will never take the next step because their lines are garbage.
I had this same thought. Brian as TE coach?
I just asked football crazy college son if he knew who Bilichick was....had no clue but the name rang a bell.
I think we're going to see a new model emerge, where the recruiting duties and the coaching/development roles and duties will bifurcate.
Some of these head coaches are so burned out on recruiting they're voluntarily becoming coordinators, so they can spend more time actually coaching.
This may allow certain coaches, like Belichick, to enter the college coaching fray if the primary recruiting duties are taken off of their plates going forward. It would also mean that the "sales coach" types may get fewer opportunities, or they will become the GM/personnel guy for the program.

UNC loves old white coaches. Mack Brown was a slam dunk, so why not follow that up with another old white dude. Five-year contract for Billy . . . takes him to age 77. Should get at least one more 5-year extension . . .
I actually thought West Virginia was going to back up the brinks truck to bring him in.
I listened to him describe how he would run a program, he will be a success and brand his team as a pipeline to the NFL. Money on him being in the playoff if 3 years.
The ACC is actually getting stronger. That is going to be a serious uphill battle with Miami, FSU, and SMU.
I think he will have zero problems getting recruits, we will see how they do in his system.
He should turn in his “football crazy card.”That’s the equivalent of me saying that I wasn’t really sure who Tom Landry, Chuck Noll or Don Shula were when I was in college. And that’s ridiculous for anybody who follows the sport. Tell him to be better.
I get that the risk / reward aspect is favorable to UNC. But I just don't see it going well; other than the fact that ACC is a joke conference.
He will use the portal. Come to UNC for a year of NFL evaluation and prep with Bill.
After three years . If we are alive. We meet for dinner pre or post Black Friday game, loser buys.
He needs to make the playoff by year 3. Maybe the black Friday game is too soon, but we will figure it out.
I don't see him making the playoff.
Edit: 3 years? I can't remember what I did last Tuesday
I edited my post. I can't think 3 years down the road. Might not even be here. Something shorter than that I can go with.
I always thought KF modeled his whole career after this guy... Now to have this guy asking KF for his opinion.. Fairly interesting
He has a fist full of rings because of Tom Brady. Has not done shit since he left. You don't know today's kids. Most would have no clue who Bill B. is.
