New England Patriots coach Jerod Mayo believes that his former boss, Bill Belichick, would have success if he’s hired for the head coaching job at North Carolina.
Belichick has been in talks with the university as a candidate to fill in the coaching vacancy left in the wake of the firing of Mack Brown. Mayo has served under the legendary coach as both a player and an assistant coach.
So he has a deep understanding of how Belichick operates. He believes that ability would translate well to the collegiate level.
“He’s a great coach,” Mayo said on Belichick, as transcribed by WEEI’s Scott McLaughlin. “And to me, it doesn’t matter if you’re a young man or a 10-year vet in the league, he’s a great teacher. I wish him nothing but the best. It doesn’t really matter what level, I think he’ll be successful.”
Seeing Belichick standing on the sidelines coaching college football would be quite the visual. Regardless, one would have to think that UNC recruiting would take a positive jump with one of the greatest coaches in NFL history leading the way.
