Would legendary head coach Bill Belichick prefer to land in a 2025 job other than the one the Dallas Cowboys might be able to offer? That is certainly possible.
Would the top potential candidate for NFL coaching vacancies next year consider the Cowboys to be less attractive than a medium-profile college job? Surely not … right?
But now comes a report – or a rumor – on an odd twist.

According to a report from 24/7, Belichick has actually interviewed with the North Carolina Tar Heels for their head coaching opening.
“Six-time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick interviewed for the head coaching vacancy at North Carolina this week,” the site reported on Thursday. “He’s among a group of candidates the Tar Heels have spoken with since firing Mack Brown on Nov. 26, a list that Inside Carolina reports includes Tulane head coach Jon Sumrall and Georgia defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann, among others. …
So the iconic Super Bowl perennial Belichick is in competition with “Tulane head coach Jon Sumrall and Georgia defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann”?
Something doesn’t smell right here.
Belichick can almost have his pick of coaching jobs, yet he is seriously considering becoming the next head coach at North Carolina?
The Tar Heels last year finished with a 6-6 record, leading to the departure of Brown, the former Texas Longhorns boss. With all due respect to Brown, the hiring of Belichick would mark the greatest move forward in the history of that school … but that can be said of Belichick taking any number of other college jobs where the leap to excellence wouldn’t be as steep.
