North Carolina finalizing deal with six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach Bill Belichick

North Carolina makes a big move.

The ACC just had a major shakeup Wednesday, as one of football’s most legendary figures is finalizing a deal to become the new head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels.

According to reports from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, six time Super Bowl winning head coach is about to be the Tar Heels new head coach. From a what if to a reality, Belichick joining UNC is a major move that could do wonders for the Tar Heels program.

With a 333-178 career record (including playoffs), eight playoff appearances and six Super Bowl wins in the NFL as the New England Patriots head coach, there’s no denying that the Tar Heels may be hiring the best coach in the game’s history.

Does this guarantee the same success at North Carolina? No… but the odds are definitely in their favor. Truly one of the more interesting hires you’ll see, Belichick opted to take a chance with the Tar Heels rather than pursue the NFL and Don Shula’s 328 (regular season) wins record.

North Carolina has just skyrocketed to the forefront of college football from an attention standpoint, such as Colorado did when they hired Deion Sanders. Dabo Swinney has some new competition for the conference’s best head coach.
