Bill Belichick has a new offensive coordinator and it is again a familiar name. After firing former NFL head coach Freddie Kitchens following one unsuccessful season running the offense at North Carolina, the Tar Heels are close to naming Bobby Petrino the new offensive coordinator according to On3.
Petrino, who coached the Atalanta Falcons to a 3-10 record in 2007, has been the head coach at Louisville, Arkansas, Western Kentucky, Louisville again, Missouri State and finally Arkansas again. Last season he started the year as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Arkansas before Sam Pittman was fired midway through the 2025 season. The Razorbacks went 0-7 with Petrino acting as interim coach and he was not retained.
