Maybe the greatest head coach in NFL history, is starting new chapter in his life. We already know about Bill Belichick’s 20 something year old girlfriend when he is 72 years old. That might tell you Belichick is ready for something new in life, a college job which is a younger man’s game. Belichick was served his walking papers after the 2023 season as the Empire dynasty officially came to an end as the New England Death Star came crashing down to Earth. In 2024 all the opening NFL jobs went to others instead of giving full control of their franchise to the evil master mind with a 400 page manifesto about the structure of the Empire running things. Now he will try to turn the men’s basketball power house into a football school seeking a similar dynasty like the Patriots went down and became the team that everyone despised. Belichick will get a five year deal to turn the Tarheels into a football power house.

The only thing Bill Belichick knows is the NFL. As a head coach he was the leader for 29 years with 24 of them in New England. Belichick has been a part of 8 Superbowl wins which six came from the Patriots and the other two when he was the assistant head coach of the New York Giants. He was the guy that handled the defense for those Bill Parcells teams. In the Giants’ Superbowl XXV win over the Bills, his team contained Jim Kelly’s high powered offense to only 19 points. That was the Bills wide right miss by Scott Norwood, kicker for the Bills, who sealed the deal for Belichick and the Giants. Belichick’s first head coaching job came in Cleveland where he managed 5 years with a record of 36-44 as he had no quarterback. That all changed in New England.

Bill Belichick may have gotten lucky drafting Tom Brady in the late rounds of the NFL draft from the University of Michigan. Things took off when the Patriots franchise Quarterback before Brady was Drew Bledsoe and when he got hurt that is when the dynasty started. Bledsoe would eventually get traded. Belichick would earn coach of the year honors in 2003, 2007, and 2010. His record in New England as the head coach after 24 seasons was 266-121. Without Tom Brady the last three seasons in New England Belichick was 29-28 which equals out to a .463 winning percentage. Without Brady, Belichick had a losing record in his head coaching career of 82-98 which includes the Browns. He finished his NFL career as a head coach with 333-178 record which includes post-season. He still holds the record as head coach with the most post-season victories of 31. His regular season record is 302-165 which he trails only Don Shula in NFL history who has the most victories all-time with 347. If Belichick was hired for another head coaching job in the NFL, he would have passed Shula.

Bill Belichick will replace a legendary head coach in college football history. Mack Brown was 73 years old and is not dating a 20 year old cheerleader. Brown had two stints at North Carolina. His first stint he coached the Tar Heels from 1988-1997 and had a record of 67-46 and led North Carolina to six bowl appearances. Last time the Tar Heels won the ACC you have to go back to 1980. Brown was then hired back in 2019 after taking 5 years off coaching and Tar Heels improved right away to a 7-6 record in the first year back. In 2022 he had North Carolina back in the ACC Championship which they lost. Brown has tallied up 288 career wins which ranks him number 8 all time in FBS coaching lists.

In the press conference welcoming Bill Belichick, the school has already unveiled their new head coach’s hoodie. The Hoodie was Belichick’s signature item he wore during the New England empire days. He said in the press conference, “I didn’t come here to leave.”

Bill Belichick is not using his new opportunity as a stepping stone back to the NFL. Belichick informed the press that his father coached in North Carolina back in the 1950’s. So you will see the old Belichick disciples start to gather. The only holdover Belichick is keeping is Freddie Kitchens of the UNC staff. Kitchens had no right to be a head coach for the Browns back in 2019 as he was a joke in the NFL. Belichick’s son coached the Huskies defense of Washington University so I’m sure he will joining the staff. It’s not like Belichick will have problems getting his coaching staff assembled. All on his coaching tree could not cut it by themselves in the NFL. You may see Josh Daniels calling the offense for the Tar Heels in 2025.

What can you expect from here and the future of the University of Carolina football program with Bill Belichick taking over? The college football job is a 365 days of the year commitment. Which is not going to bother Belichick who bleeds football 24/7 every day. Not sure how he will fit the 20 something year old squeeze into the new situation? When he was with the Patriots he had full control of the team which included the draft and General Manager duties on who to sign. I don’t see Bill and his sunshine personality doing well in these kids’ parents homes in a recruitment visit. Do young kids want to go through boot camp hell to play football for Belichick? Of course you can see recruits thinking if they can survive a 4 year ride to North Carolina under the scrutiny of Belichick, they could make it in the NFL. Belichick has only been out of the game for one season so he still knows what the youth are thinking, If not, the 20 something year old girl friend, besides walking his dog, could inform the old guy of what this generation is thinking. You feel like it will be Hitler youth the way old Bill runs this football program. His staff will be filled with guys that are his yes men. If Bill gets the recruits he wants and if they have talent, he will put them in the best position to win. Belichick could go up against any other head coach in College football on the simple X’s and O’s. I believe he will do better than what Deion Sanders has done at the University of Colorado. You know guys on this current football team at North Carolina are already transferring out because they know his program will be tough. This is not football Siberia, North Carolina. They have had two Quarterbacks drafted in the first round in the last ten seasons starting with Mitch Trubisky and last year’s Drake Maye. This experiment could go wrong if Belichick can’t get the type of guys he wants. This could be a team of hard working SOB’s giving opponents battles because they do the small things right and will not make mistakes. It seems like he needs the Ivy League style of players. To be the best and to be known like the UNC basketball program, Belichick will have to land a stud quarterback is the key. He found Tom Brady. He may get the quarterback because of what Tom Brady did. You could say Brady needed Bill as much as Bill needed Brady. Right now I feel a disturbance in the force and the Tar Heels are building themselves a weapon of mass destruction which will start in the ACC.
