Dec 5, 2024, 11:40 PM

Bill Belichick, the 72-year-old former New England Patriots head coach and six-time Super Bowl champion, has reportedly interviewed multiple times for the head coaching position at the University of North Carolina. According to multiple sources, including Inside Carolina, Belichick met with UNC officials after Mack Brown's departure. One source stated that Belichick 'blew them away in the interview.' Despite his genuine interest in coaching at the college level, it is considered unlikely he will take the position due to his age and lack of college experience. Reports also indicate that discussions may include a guarantee that Stephen Belichick will be named head coach in waiting. Belichick is said to be exploring coaching opportunities for the 2025 season, and his discussions with UNC have generated significant attention in the sports world.
