Now that the deal is done — Belichick agreed to a five-year, $50-million contract — questions are swirling about how he will build a staff; if he’ll hire his son, Stephen, away from Washington; and what the Tar Heels’ NIL operation might look like.
The school is reportedly increasing its NIL fund from $4 million to $20 million.
Belichick replaces 73-year-old Mack Brown, who was fired before the end of the season. The Tar Heels finished 6-6 and 3-5 in the ACC, slotting in at 13th in the conference.
Coaching at Carolina will give Belichick a chance to rebuild a solid Power 5 program into a perennial contender. As part of the interview process, Belchick reportedly presented a 400-page manifesto about how he’d translate his NFL skills to the college level.
