Bill Belichick is headed to the college level.
Various reports throughout the day have indicated an agreement was close, and now a report from ESPN notes Belichick is finalizing a deal to become the head coach at North Carolina.
Belichick, 72, has never coached in college before. But he said earlier this week that he plans to build “an NFL program at the college level” if hired for one of the opportunities.
Belichick did not return to the Patriots in 2024 after 24 years as the team’s head coach. He has 302 wins as an NFL head coach with New England from 2000-2023 and Cleveland from 1991-1995. He is No. 3 on the all-time wins list behind Don Shula (328) and George Halas (318).
Belichick has won six Super Bowls as a head coach and two more as an assistant with the Giants.
