This is a huge surprise, especially since there are still NFL openings and he’s so close to breaking a major record. But hey, maybe he’s thinking about the college game differently now. According to Albert Breer from Sports Illustrated, Belichick is intrigued by the idea of coaching at UNC. He might feel like he could build a winning team faster there, thanks to things like the transfer portal and NIL deals.
Breer mentioned that Belichick was caught off guard by the lack of interest from NFL teams last year. He’s probably weighing his options and wondering if any of the current NFL jobs are really worth it. If UNC is ready to meet his demands, he might just take the plunge.
The clock is ticking, though. With the transfer portal being so competitive, players are looking for opportunities fast. If Belichick takes the job, he’ll likely want to build a strong team quickly. Some insiders even say there’s a good chance he’ll end up in Carolina blue soon. It’s a wild thought, but it could shake things up in college football, especially for a program that’s usually overshadowed by basketball.
