A week ago, North Carolina and its administration announced a monumental hiring for the head coaching vacancy in their football program. Since the arrival of Bill Belichick, he has decided to keep Fred Kitchens as well as bring on Mike Lombardo as the program’s general manager.
Earlier this week, it was rumored that Belichick intended to bring on current Las Vegas Raiders offensive coordinator, Scott Turner, to be his offensive coordinator at Chapel Hill.
Now, another rumor has broken loss that Belichick is intending to hired Central Florida assistant athletic director Andrew Blaylock to serve as his director of player personnel at North Carolina.
We discussed last week the salary allowances that Belichick received from UNC for his hiring of assistant coaches and football staff.
According to UCF’s website, “Blaylock joined the UCF football staff in June 2022 as special assistant to head coach Gus Malzahn.
Blaylock spent the previous six years at Appalachian State as director of player personnel, overseeing the recruiting department for the Mountaineers’ football program. He also worked at Louisville (2011-14) and Texas State (2015) in recruiting and player personnel.”

Blaylock hasn’t spent all his time behind the scenes though. He was once a dynamic player himself. He played at the University of Florida in college and dominated in high school at Durham Jordan High School, where he holds numerous all-time records.
Bill Belichick is looking to bring Blaylock back home to North Carolina.
