Is Bill Belichick’s decision to join UNC regrettable?
This season was not something the North Carolina team will want to remember for long finishing it at the 13th spot in the ACC even after having one of the easiest schedules. With all the drafts coming their way and the transfer portals race heating up and in between such stressful situations, their head coach Mack Brown getting fired kind of makes you wonder what’s next for them. Well, the team already did what’s best for them and is on their way to getting Bill Belichick into the team. But is this a great move for a coach who is about to start the second innings of his career, as joining a dead team is not something he should think about?
Let’s be honest, no one expected in their wildest dreams to see coach Bill in Tar Heel. Even famous football entities like Tom Brady couldn’t make peace with the fact that Belichick is actually dipping his toes into UNC’s uncertain pool. “There’s a lot of things he can do but getting out there on the recruiting trail and dealing with these college kids.” No wonder it’s a big win for UNC, but then taking responsibility for a drowning team always brings backlashes. Moreover, it’s not like there aren’t any NFL teams that might need him. Teams like the Jets and Saints will be more than happy to get Belichick on board.
But looks like Bill Belichick is almost there and who knows, maybe fresh start in College Football is something he is craving for so long.
