Running a Football Team with his son at his side is probably what he was looking for the whole time. There is going to a lot of sleeveless hoodies for sale in the UNC bookstore.
Nothing dorky looking about that. And we thought UNC fans wearing fedoras a few years back was the all-time dorkfest.
@@nothingman27511 That's OK. Just like the fedora craze, in a few years this whole Belichick fooforaw will be a barely remembered laughable anecdote.
NC saw Deion and actually said "Hold my beer."
“ keep him away from the Daughter”!! lol GOOD ONE
😂😂😂😂😂
I think that comment made Rich feel a little uncomfortable, kinda noticed an evil eye look by him to Brock at 17:10....
He ain’t wrong
The laught from del Tufo😂😂
Show should be more professional and not comment on love affairs
Don’t forget Lawrence Taylor roaming around UNC campus
😂😂😂😂😂that would be crazy defensive coach for Bill ❤❤❤Omg and peppers coaching the D/line Acc watch out here comes bill.
North Carolina vs Colorado next fall would do numbers
I'd say from what I've seen of Bill lately, he certainly can develop college-aged talent.
Mac Jones is a beast
Recruit and develop, indeed.
At first I thought it was a preposterous move. Now, I think it's absolutely brilliant. UNC has always been a basketball school, but now if you're a 5 star recruit you could go play for the best NFL coach of all time. "I'll prepare you for the NFL - you won't be a draft bust if you play for me" is all he needs to say, because it'll be the truth. This will be a direct-to-NFL pathway program and if I were still a player (with anywhere near the talent required), I'd be begging for an interview at UNC now. Alabama? LSU? Michigan? Ohio State? Get those pedestrian programs out of my face, I want to learn NFL football
Indeed
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂the American way hoping someone else can get you somewhere instead of earning it yourself 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂this is the greatest example of trying the easy way
@@Gemni65 to quote Bill the Butcher as a New Yorker, what in heaven's name are you talking about?
@ I don’t communicate with Yankees
@Gemni65 huh? No one said take the easy way. It's the option to learn from one of the greats.
Today's Bill Belichick Press Conference Moment is coming BACK!!
As a die-hard Tar Heel fan, despite all the naysayers, i couldn't be more excited! Let's get to work 💪
Smart man, Derek!
Get those hopes up high.
LANK
If UNC makes the the 12 team playoff, then Bilicheck did his job.
Remember this. Bill Belichick has Heart. You'll see how organized
I’m curious to see how he handles dealing with rich donors and ACC media day?
That tobacco money is very deep out there - not oil money but older
Oil money is everywhere. The "Flagler" in "Kenan-Flagler Business School" was a Standard Oil guy.
Not saying it won’t work, I’m just not sure kids coming out of high school will stay in that program. They’ll say they want to be coached by Belichick until they’re actually getting coached by him
I don't think you are right, but it is a good observation. Good comment!
Yes and Belicheat will say he wants the job until he has to deal with the Transfer portal and kids with NIL that don't care about his rings or military background. IF you get a college playoff champ threat you've got a 2 year window after building it for 3. Ask Saban.
Why are we acting like coaching in college is a downgrade. Especially in these new days with NIL. They’re completely different sports. And I feel like in this day and age, being a college head coach is harder than being a pro head coach.
Because the average salary for an NFL head coach is about three times the average for college HC's.
I'm sure Bill will get more than the average, of course.
Why are college coaches paid significantly less on average?
If coaching the NFL was easier, then they may as well coach in the pros instead.
The big difference is just the lack of parity in college football. A lot of teams are just literally not capable of ever being as good as the bigger brands, so expectations are lower.
Most college coaches aren't expected to take their team to a national championship, so the leeway is greater than it is for an NFL coach (Expected to have deep playoff run in 2-3 yrs)
@@codyb.3015 It's not really about all the Podunk State U coaches who will never see a bowl game unless they buy tickets. Even at the highest levels of college ball, where there is some parity and the coaches are indeed expected to win championships, the top 8 salaries are under or just barely over 10 mil/year. Including Bill's reported 10 mil/year contract for three years with NC.
He was making 20 million/year at his last NFL gig.
Cutting his salary in half to have less power and more/different hassles than he did at his last job, is not a step up for him.
Brock is wild 💀💀💀 17:00
Hilarious! lol
So wild!!!
I have no idea if it will work or not, but I know I sure won't be betting against Belichick. Good luck coach, can't wait to see you in that blue.
I can think of $50 million reasons to take the Tarheels coaching job.
As a patriots fan I’m just glad we won’t have to play against him. Go heels!
hahahaha right. You'd hate to have to play against Carolina because he decimated your draft picks with idiots before he got fired.
UPS is delivering a box of hoodies and Bill will be spending the weekend cutting the sleeves off.
Bill is a winner. He will succeed at this just like he did in the nfl. he will find a way to entertain every point you brought up and do it in such a way that you will succeed. That man knows how to win and I can't wait to see him do it in NCAA
Right, Just like he did without Tom Brady being GM drafting players that stank. He left because Kraft was jealous of how good he was at succeeding with only defense.
Every coach who was ever hired at a D1 or NFL job was a “winner” before they got there. That’s why they got the job.
And most of those guys failed to remain a “winner” and got fired within a few years. Look at all the former Pats assistants who went on to win precisely nothing.
Contrary to popular belief, being a “winner” is not a specific skill.
If he’s good at raising money for NIL and recruiting, UNC will win. If not, they will not. It remains to be seen if he’s good at either of those.
@Zbehdnrhcjrben Jim hardbaugh did it. Bill has got this! Urban Myer did it....oh wait, nevermind 🤣🤣
Chapel Hill Bill lets go Tarheels.
This is without a doubt the biggest coaching news in NCAA history
As is usual for sports media they project their own ideas of what Bill's coaching future should (and will) be. Maybe Bill just wants to do what Bill wants to do. That is: to COACH (verb).
Hes going to produce so many defensive draft studs.
I am thoroughly shocked! Never would have thought he’d go to college.
What I find so odd about this is that Bill is in sniffing distance of the all time NFL coaching wins record. We all assumed he would have kept his job in New England until he got the record and that probably would have happened if the team had stayed competitive. By taking this job he's abandoning a shot at the record. Now he's got his son involved in this job and I can see ensuring a successful career for his son to be a higher priority. Selfishly I'm disappointed because I wanted to see Belichick back in the NFL. And it seemed like things were set for that as there are coaching vacancies and there's expected to be more and for each coach getting fired the discussion became "why didn't any of these teams consider hiring Bill Belichick?" I guess the general disinterest in Belichick last year is still the case this year?
There will be a press conference tomorrow announcing Bill re-neg'ing the NC coaching gig to accept a head coaching position for the NY Jets.
No way in hel- that happens
I love "GRONK" Always will"!, I'm from Tampa and GRONK is BLINGING his "SUPER BOWL" WINNING Tampa Bay Buccaneers jersey behind him!! Awesome!!
More proof that no NFL owner wanted him.
As a NC State Wolfpack fan, I'm hating life right now
Give it time, this is just the beginning, as a Pitt fan, at some point….just give it time👊
Thats the thing.... I dont think any 19 year old with half a brain would say that to Bill. That's probably the whole play, anyone that wants to play and get groomed for the NFL will buy in and stay there
Bill is sharing the love. Good on you coach, we’re proud of you.
Better get Tom back on the show, he was so sure it wasn't gonna happen lmao
Most of those guys don't actually know anything, they make historically educated guesses off of aggregated data that their networks gather for them. There is like, 3 actual insiders in the entire industry. The other guys just get a tip from a college buddy in a front office somewhere from time to time. Albert Breer and Pellissaro are all hacks.
If Belichick wins he wins .If he loses he still wins. He can't lose. He will walk away with nice money
The man is probably going to buy a nice place on the shore. Have his gf tanning at the pool while he goes tuna fishing. Oh then coach at a high profile school...... living the dream!
Where do U think chapel hill is?
Lets face it Bill is a GENIUS!
Notre Dame --- go hire Jon Gruden!
Why does he want to get into the meat grinder of the NFL? Owners are impossible to deal with. its 100 hr weeks with nasty pundits and press questioning ur every move. Bill wants to chill with his 2 loves. Football and his 24 yr old GF 😂😂❤❤
What about the meat grinder of college media, recruiting, NIL money, rich entitled jerk boosters, transfer portal teens? You think college has less of a meat grinder? Yeah, Saban left because it was easy to deal with.
I can’t wait for that one recruit that demands more NIL cash 💰! 😂😂
NIL for football at UNC is now reportedly $20M, up from $4M.
Not sure if a bunch of 19 to 23 year olds are buying into the energy level of a 74 year old Bellichek.
We know at least one has 😂
One of the best Defensives Coaches ever, that's it, no more.
A bit earlier in age I think it's a great move. It won't be an overnight success but I think over 3-4 years it'll be a positive move. I think young kids could benefit from his sage wisdom and he'll be able to consider some talented kids to take their chance in him.
My read is that they'll be *better*, but not playoff-worthy during his tenure - but what it will do is being a ton of money and interest to their program that they've never had before, so the real effect might be seen ten years from now with the next coach in charge. Great move all in all.
I think we're in for quite a surprise. Bill became stoic when the new rules allowing the media basically unlimited access to nearly all aspects of the NFL. I think he can be quite relatable to real-world legit success. He'll offer one of the best pathways to the NFL. It's going to be a battle between Prime and Bill. I can't wait for next season. College is so much more exciting than the NFL.
really? you have no idea if Deion will be there next year, how long Bill can take uppity teens telling him they will leave if their NIL money isn't enough or they can get better playing time somewhere else. It's a whole new world out there which is why Saban retired.
It will be interesting to see how this works out. Very few coaches are good at both college and NFL. The other problem is players don't like being coached hard now or they'll transfer. If most players don't play within 2 years they're heading out.
Those types of players were never his type anyway though.
Lawrence Taylor played for UNC, I’m sure that has something to do with it at least a little bit. I’m sure LT will be involved at some point in this program.
4:57 😅just to find out the kid is talking about snap chat!
Not 1 team called him to coach NFL he said. Nobody reached out
I agree bill will be great
Well the Bill Belichick press conferences will be coming back
It's incredible that Bill was basically forced out of the Patriots after that massive run of success. Seems like that the fans and ownership got so used to being on top that the minute they struggled after losing their franchise QB, they couldn't handle it. Well welcome Patriots fans to what most of the NFL teams deal with year in and year out, some teams for decades...
imagine how humbling it would be to be a college freshman and walk into a bill meeting lol
The part I disagree with here, is rich calls bill an 8 time superbowl winning head coach. NO he was an assistant for 2 of them. Petty but factual
Old man Belicheck in the tourney in a few years? Might be there for 5
College Football is now essentially a "Protection" Fantasy Football League - where teams lock up their top few players with big money and everyone else is a potential free agent every off season. How does ANY coach navigate that culture, let alone a disciplinarian. Belichick will surely provide top flight defensive tactics, but beyond that, I don't see how he can adapt.
This feels like a slam dunk and great move for UNC. Kudos to the Tar-Heels as they are taking the big swing!!!
Put some respect on Wake Forest.
8:40 game worn shredded hoodie - Chapel Bill
How did Navy not give him a call? Since he took this, I can't imagine he would have turned down Navy. And there would be no question why he took it.
Money?
Lombardi as GM??
I have a feeling he is going to do things his own way, and it might be different from Saban, et al. Also think he is going to measure his own success, and it is not going to be in number of NCs. BB wants to coach/teach football in a comfortable and controlled environment. Look up his father's coaching career.
This ain’t gonna work, he just ain’t cut out for modern college. I’ll be surprised if he makes it 3 years.
Nice job by UNC. Wow. I’m amazed that a number of NFL teams opted to not pursue Belichick when they had zero to lose. Many of them still suck and some have fired their coaches since then such as the Chicago Bears. Chicago is always a step behind the curve. It’ll be a good day in Chicago when they get rid of their GM, management and the owners are no longer running the team. They’re all absolutely awful at their jobs.
Plot twist he's just trying to get closer with his 22 year old gf 😂
Mark my words: she is going to cheat on him with at least one of his players...It will be an unbelievable drama

Lots of young women on college campus, ol bill will be right at home
The only thing comparable is Bill Walsh
What was bill before and after Brady? Exactly
He turned the pats into winners, maybe he turns the tar heels into winners.
Brady turned the pats into winners.
@@SharleneMelenedez-o7i Are you 15 years old? Because that’s just objectively false lmao not to mention if Bill didn’t exist, Brady would have likely spent a few years on a practice squad somewhere and have been out of the league by 2004.
@@xM40A3xSo funny seeing all these Brady haters still stuck in a dumb sports taken from 2004 can’t comprehend any HC could win rings if you have Brady
FYI Brady lead the NFL in TDs in 2002 he was the best QB in NFL by 2003 your taking about practice squad
@@davis2k1234Bill's decisions and prep gave Brady at least 3 Superbowl wins. The killer defense against LA which won despite a subpar performance by Brady. Substituting in Malcolm Butler on the play where he intercepted the pass against Seattle. Then the completion of a second two points conversion play that Bill introduced the night before playing Atlanta and had them practice in their hotel.
@@levin448 This is another dumb take yes his defensive gameplans vs Rams in both super bowls was great and I’ve always said he is a all time great DC/defensive mind but you don’t just magically appear in a Super Bowl Brady carried the team from August-January especially in 2018 that team had no business making a Super Bowl if Brady wasn’t at QB
The media trying to act like this is a great hire. Meanwhile yall TRASHED Coach Prime when he got the Colorado job. Smh
@@Shiny101 why are you acting like Deion Sanders is in the same league of coaching ability as Bill Belichick? Not even saying that Sanders is a bad coach, just saying that the situations are completely different and this comparison is brain dead. 😂
Prime loins= Excellence
Bilichek loins= Basic
Shitty kids make shitty coaches.
Miller from southern cal is gonna be the qb next year
Rich uses “temerity” 🎤 dropped
I think Saban was disenchanted w/ the modern state of college ball being basically optimized as a feeder league full of mercenaries for the NFL as its primary objective
Meanwhile BB sees where this is going and has put together a winning organization in a league of cynical players who want to make their money. Seems like a good fit. Saban is from the pre-NIL days, and BB is built for the new state of affairs.
This is a crazy move no matter what happens…. unless the reports about him wanting to break Shulas win record were just media hype and speculation….
now it's time for carolina to get a real basketball coach.
It's on to Wake Forrest.
Bill just needs to line his 6 Superbowls at the front of his desk so these kids need to talk over them to talk to Bill when they try to tell him that Bill is coaching the team wrong. LOL
I just hope Bill brings out more personality and pizazz at the microphone stand, than he did in the NFL. Because he’s a funny guy, and he can take the piss out of anyone in a funny way. He just didn’t do it. Well, that’s kind of a part of college ball and all its pageantry. So hopefully he opens up a bit and does what Saban did, and would take shots directly at the media.
If Bill wins a College Championship and turns UNC into a respectable football school, is he then the greatest football coach across the board...?
I mean: if it's truly the reverse Urban Mayer...it's a fantastic decision
Could Bill make a 3-minute phone call to Gronk to get him to visit the 5-star high school TE recruit?... Bill can be General because he already has an army (er, ... navy).
I think UNC is hoping that Belichick will get top talent, both coaching and players to come to UNC. question is will UNCs backers pay for this?
Sad to see him fall to college ball
It was really all Tom and Mr.Kraft
Not at all.
@@levin448 83-101

The Atlantic Coast Conference having two teams from the bay area of California and another from Dallas is quite strange.
Duke all day but this awesome. The man loves football. Hope he has fun.
Mr Eisen, do you know if no nfl team wanted him, or, for some reason he no longer wanted to be in the nfl ???
Ask yourselves if you can picture Bill dancing like one of those old white coaches during march madness
It brings Bill closer to girls aged 19-22. Big plus for him. Man loves a problematic age gap.
LMAO, this is a huge step backwards.
I swear if Belichick gets a brand deal with Ray-Ban....
I wonder if Pete Carroll just updated his resume and will look to the college ranks.
Or maybe he's actually happy to be out of coaching?
Someone explain to me how belichick with the resources he’ll have isn’t gonna do great? Mack won 6, 9, 8, 6 last 4 years as a recruiter not a developer or x’s o’s, without $ or support above. What’s bill gonna do? Think heels defense gonna look the same, tackle the same? Oline, dline same? Culture the same? I don’t think yall get how big a change just happened.
Brady, Gronk and Edlemens recent comments show they have no relationship with bill currently. Not saying that is right or wrong just that its obvious
BB will either be uber succesfull or it will blow up real quick!!!!!
The over under on wins is 7.5… I’m honestly thinking of the over cause they will spoon feed UNC easy opponents probably to make a better story of this
God, I hope Quinn Ewers takes that bait with the UNC portal. I'm done with him ALWAYS coming up small in big games. Ok, he beat Bama in Bama. But that was before we had really learned that ain't BAMA. At best Ewers was like the nail in the Sabin Dynasty coffin.
Being a Cowboys & Longhorns fan it's torture dealing with Ewers & Dak. So at least can I get some Arch Manning?
He shouldn’t be allowed to coach there he’s dating a student
Don't be surprised if the 2025 National Championship game is Michigan vs. North Carolina.
I'm looking forward to his staff choices now that this is a done deal. If Bill goes into this with a bunch of old white dudes who are GM types, this could really backfire. But if he gets a few of his old players - or ones he really respects that didn't play for him - to help with coaching and recruiting, watch out. Like keeping or getting UNC legend Julius Peppers involved somehow. Bill's network is vast.
What if Bill gets Gronk out of his CBS gig to help with his recruiting staff? I mean, those are the moves to watch for because few kids are saying no to Bill AND Gronk. That's what Bill needs to nail down more than people worrying about his coaching stuff.
So, we'll all know more here in a month or so I would imagine.
Bill took a job that was not a challenge for him so he can live out his golden years on easy mode.
Getting even 10 wins at UNC seems to be a pretty big challenge.
