The UNC football program is now officially Bill Belichick's. 247Sports predicts the Tar Heels to finish with a 7-5 record in the coming 2025 season.

Indeed, Bill Belichick’s college football arrival is very real, no matter how impossible it felt at times. With six Super Bowls in hand and a blossoming media career just getting started, the 72-year-old chose the North Carolina Tarheels as his future.

Earlier this week, former New England Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount took to social media to praise his son, LeGarrette Jr., after he received another D1 college football offer. Blount Jr. posted a message on X highlighting his acceptance of an offer from Bill Belichick and the North Carolina Tar Heels.

North Carolina football general manager Michael Lombardi sure is adding pressure to Bill Belichick before he’s even coached a game. Lombardi claimed the Tar Heels’ goal is to be the NFL’s 33rd team. At first it sounds like an outrageous statement.
