Bill Belichick, the six-time Super Bowl-winning former head coach of the New England Patriots, has finalized a five-year deal to become the head football coach at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Dubbed "Chapel Bill," the 72-year-old will be the oldest coach in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and will embark on his first college coaching role. The university announced the agreement on Wednesday, with Belichick's debut game set against the Horned Frogs. Belichick expressed his enthusiasm for the position, stating that he has "always wanted to coach in college" and looks forward to building the football program in Chapel Hill. The appointment is seen as a potential game-changer for UNC's football program, which aims to elevate its status in the competitive Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).
