The North Carolina Tar Heels have had discussions in recent days with legendary NFL coach Bill Belichick about their vacant job, sources confirm to Sports Illustrated on Thursday. Inside Carolina, a website devoted to covering UNC athletics, reported earlier Thursday that Belichick interviewed for the job.
Sources tell SI that Belichick, who won six Super Bowls as coach of the New England Patriots, definitely wants to coach again in 2025 after sitting out this season. His interest was believed to be centered on a return to the NFL—which still could be in play—but multiple sources say Belichick has been in discussions with North Carolina for several days and has a genuine interest in the college game.
