New England Patriots legendary head coach Bill Belichick returned to sideline, but not at the NFL level. He opted to make the jump to college football and become the North Carolina Tar Heels’ new head football coach.
While he has only been there for a short period of time and has been very adamant about his excitement for the opportunity, NFL teams have reportedly been calling him with interest.
It had been reported that Las Vegas Raiders’ minority owner Tom Brady had been in contact with Belichick. Of course, the Raiders recently fired head coach Antonio Pierce.
Needless to say, it would have been wild to see Belichick leave North Carolina after such a short period of time to return to the NFL. That isn’t going to be happening barring a major change.
Clearly, Belichick is all in on coaching college football. He has seemed to have a renewed energy since accepting the position and has obviously had interest in coaching college ball for quite some time.
That being said, it is going to be very interesting to see how things go for Belichick with the Tar Heels.
