It has been a crazy year for former six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach Bill Belichick, who was let go by the New England Patriots at the start of 2024 and couldn’t get a head coaching job in last season’s NFL coaching cycle.
While the 72-year-old head coach found himself away from the sidelines, he didn’t leave the game. He appeared on many different football shows and did media work every week, but there have been many rumors that Belichick wants to return to coaching.
Could Bill Belichick Coach College Football?

Belichick’s name has been floated around in many coaching landing spots this offseason. One spot that nobody saw coming interviewed the former Patriots head coach this week.
Grant Hughes from Inside Carolina reported Thursday afternoon that Belichick interviewed for North Carolina’s head coaching vacancy, stating, “Six-time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick interviewed for the head coaching vacancy at North Carolina this week, Inside Carolina first reported Thursday. He’s among a group of candidates the Tar Heels have spoken with since firing Mack Brown on Nov. 26, a list that Inside Carolina reports includes Tulane head coach Jon Sumrall and Georgia defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann, among others. Inside Carolina first reported the initial contact between Belichick and UNC officials Sunday.”

Belichick coaching college football probably was in nobody’s cards, but why not at this point? The man wants to coach again if he is interviewing for a job at a program that is known more for basketball than football.
If the NFL doesn’t want to hire Belichick, the college football world may take a chance on him. North Carolina would be a good spot since they only care about football until the start of November.
