Bill Belichick, the most successful coach in Super Bowl history, acknowledged on Monday that he has had discussions about taking over the football team at the University of North Carolina (UNC), due to a lack of offers to continue coaching in the NFL.

"It's been a good year for me. I've learned a lot about college football. I had the opportunity to speak with Chancellor Roberts, and we've had a couple of good conversations. We'll see how it goes," said the coach, who has won six Vince Lombardi trophies with the New England Patriots, on 'The Pat McAfee Show.'

Belichick explained that he shares with Lee Roberts, Chancellor of UNC, the vision of creating a college program that serves as a direct pathway to the NFL. "If I were in a college program, this would be a direct path to the NFL for players with the ability to play there. It would be a professional program: training, nutrition, schemes, techniques that would transfer to the NFL. Basically, it would be an NFL-level program at the college level," he explained.

A historic legacy in the NFL

At 72, Belichick is a legend in the NFL, having coached the New England Patriots for 24 years, where he drafted Tom Brady, considered the best player in NFL history, with whom he won six Super Bowls. In 2023, Belichick stepped down from his role as head coach in a mutual agreement with Robert Kraft, owner of the Patriots, and was replaced by Jerod Mayo, one of his assistants.

With 333 victories, 178 losses over 29 seasons, and an impressive six Super Bowl titles, Belichick leaves behind a historic legacy in the NFL.
