Bill Belichick Begins New Chapter as UNC Football Coach

The legendary NFL coach transitions to college football, bringing decades of experience to a rapidly evolving sport.

Bill Belichick, the six-time Super Bowl-winning coach, has been hired as the head football coach at the University of North Carolina, marking his first foray into college football coaching.
Belichick's move comes as college football increasingly mirrors the NFL, with player compensation, transfer portal dynamics, and roster management becoming central to the sport.
UNC has made a significant financial commitment, offering Belichick a $10 million annual salary, a $13 million player revenue-sharing budget, and additional resources for a general manager and support staff.
Belichick has appointed longtime collaborator Mike Lombardi as UNC's general manager, aiming to implement an NFL-style system for player evaluation, recruitment, and development.
The college football world is closely watching Belichick's transition, with many predicting his NFL expertise will give UNC a competitive edge in the sport's new era.
