The UNC had a rough year. Their best wins were against a Florida State team that is pretty much a hollow shell of its former self and Wake Forest. Being 10th in the ACC, having a somewhat easy schedule (except for that one game against Georgia Tech), and still being 6-6 doesn’t look good for HC Freddie Kitchens’ resume. They need some changes on their staff and starting off with the HC is a good idea. Now, we never thought in our wildest dreams that UNC would try to make a move on Bill Belichick for the head coach role. Not a bad pick. Belichick and Tom Brady managed to win 6 Super Bowls. He knows talent, and he knows how to make a team the “best”.

All of this will make you go: “Yeah, UNC is going to shine now”. But will they? See, Ex-Patriots RB Damien Harris had something very important to say about Bill. “I mean this in the most respectful way possible: Bill is a controlled freak who has to have absolute control,” Harris pointed out. Why is this so concerning in College Football? See, there is a point where you have to learn where to draw the line between who’s a man and who’s a kid. If we sit back and compare the NFL with the CFB, the biggest differentiator is how serious the players are in the NFL. This is “college” football. Kids will be kids, but if Bill tries to implement the “professional” scene here, it could end up backfiring. Harris’ entire take was a small insight on how the NFL coaching Bill is used to won’t work for college kids.

But, to bring you up to date, that suggestion from Harris does not hold anymore because Bill has been announced as the UNC HC. We got the news from Ollie Connolly on X but it also comes with another insight. Guess what Bill did the moment he agreed to the HC position? Take a wild gander.

He handed a 400-page “organizational bible” to UNC. The entire thing contains payment plans and staff choices for the team, along with structuring details. It is being reported that if UNC wants to follow that “bible” they have to shed historic levels of investments.

Mr. Control Freak is adamant about not moving from his demands, and this whole thing was already met with a massive backlash from the group of 13 trustees of the college. Harris was right, after all. “But when you look at Bill Belichick and how he runs in operation versus the college football world today. It doesn’t really match up,” Harris had pointed out before his take about Bill being a control freak. Now, let’s just assume that UNC ends up agreeing to all of it. What’s in store for the Tar Heels under the Belichick rule?

Bill Belichick’s vision for UNC football

Bill’s vision sounds simple. Create a pipeline into the NFL. Implementing this? Yeah, that will not be easy. From what we could gather, Bill wants the players to mold themselves into future NFL starts. See, with the entire college football scene changing up because of NIL and portal transfers, it is quite easy to just reach in, spend some money, and grab generational talent onto your roster.

What Bill wants to do is make sure that every single player he coaches ends up becoming the best of the best without really letting the NIL or transfer portal affect anything. In simple terms, if you lose your 5-star QB to another team because they offered more money (LSU – Michigan scenario), instead of searching for another 5-star replacement, just take the backup QB you got and apply all the NFL insights into making him on par with the 5-star player.

Weird vision, but it could do wonders if it is implemented properly. This entire discrepancy we are seeing in the current era of college football could be solved through this. Not only that. At the base level, UNC will not only gain a Hall of Fame coach but will have his 50 years of NFL insights. If you ask us? Those demands on the 400-page bible are a small price to pay.
