There does appear to be some steam behind the reality of legendary NFL head coach Bill Belichick coaching at the college level.
On Monday morning it was reported that there have been talks between Belichick and North Carolina for the vacant head coaching position left by the fired Mack Brown. Belichick doesn’t have any ties to UNC and he’s never coached at the college level, but it’s worth noting that he was asked later in the day about the rumor by Pat McAfee and instead of shying away from the report, he discussed how he would run a college football program.
“If I was in a college program, the college program would be a pipeline to the NFL for the players that had the ability to play in the NFL,” Belichick told McAfee (h/t On3). “It would be a professional program — training, nutrition, scheme, coaching techniques — that would transfer to the NFL. It would be an NFL program at a college level and an education that would get the players ready for their career after football, whether that was the end of their college career or at the end of their pro career. But it would be geared toward developing the player, time management, discipline, structure and all that.”
