Who is joining Belichick at UNC? Tracking coaching staff hires

Chapel Hill: So, guess what? Bill Belichick is heading to UNC as the new head football coach. They just announced a five-year deal, and it’s pretty wild since he’s never coached in college before.

This is a big deal because Belichick has tons of NFL experience, including six Super Bowl wins. But now, he’s stepping into a college program that hasn’t had much success lately. They’ve only hit 10 wins once in the last 27 years!

Now, the big question is who he’ll bring along with him. Belichick is known for hiring people he trusts, like friends and family. He’s had his sons on his NFL teams, so it’ll be interesting to see if he does the same at UNC.

He mentioned wanting to run the program like an NFL team, which could mean some familiar faces from his past might join him. We’ll keep an eye on who he hires as the coaching staff gets filled out.

First up is Michael Lombardi as the general manager. These two go way back to when Belichick was coaching the Browns. Lombardi has been around the block, working with teams like the Eagles and Raiders. Now, he’ll help Belichick navigate the college landscape, including NIL deals and the transfer portal. It’s going to be a fun ride in Chapel Hill!
