So then, there are some high expectations for the next incoming head coach. Grant Hughes of 247 Sports was among the very first to effectively bring to light the interview news regarding Belichick. Hughes states,
“Six time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick interviewed for the head coaching vacancy at North Carolina this week, Inside Carolina first reported Thursday. He’s among a group of candidates the Tar Heels have spoken with since firing Mack Brown on Nov. 26, a list that Inside Carolina reports includes Tulane head coach Jon Sumrall and Georgia defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann, among others. Inside Carolina first reported Sunday the initial contact between Belichick and UNC officials.
ESPN senior NFL insider Adam Schefter reported in September that Belichick was eyeing a return to coaching in 2025 but “is expected to be choosy if and when he returns to the sideline.” Schefter reported that Belichick turned down offers from the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams to fill the franchises’ defensive coordinator vacancies this offseason in a ‘decorated assistant role.’ The report from Inside Carolina is the first official known interest between Belichick and a college football program.”
Well, besides his final few seasons as the Pats HC; Bill Belichick does have quite the track record for success. Becoming a NFL dynasty is not easy. But New England accomplished that feat and more. Therefore, Belichick could be a candidate UNC wants to give at least some consideration to during their search.
