CHAPEL HILL - In one of the more anticipated news conferences in recent memory at North Carolina, the Tar Heels is formally introducing six-time Super Bowl-winning coach Bill Belichick as UNC’s next head football coach Thursday. T

he news conference comes nearly a week to the moment after word began to spread that Belichick was in the conversation to replace Mack Brown, a former NCAA national champion and two-term UNC head coach who’d been fired less than two weeks prior. Belichick, whose 24-year run as head coach of the New England Patriots of the National Football League ended in January, won six Super Bowl titles and appeared in nine during that run. Belichick also appeared in three Super Bowls as an assistant coach prior to his head-coaching tenure, earning two rings with the New York Giants under Bill Parcells.

This will be Belichick’s first foray into college football, though. His father, Steve, was briefly an assistant at North Carolina from 1953-55 before a 30-year run as an assistant at Navy.

Will recruits want to become TarHeels simply because their coach has a load of Superbowl rings? Or is it still all about the NIL money?

A friend of mine is following this closely. Belichick was allowed to create 2 staffs. One for X's and O's and the other
for recruiting and NIL. None of us know how this will turn out,but money won't be an issue. NC is serious about
being relevant in football.

I think with college basketball becoming less relevant in the national landscape, I think you’re gonna a lot of traditional basketball schools trying to make the switch.
I mean a football championship is worth, what? About three basketball championships?
