What should we expect from Bill Belichick's coaching tenure at UNC?
The UNC Tar Heels officially named former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick as their next head coach.
The six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach will follow in the footsteps of his father, Steve, who served as UNC's running backs coach in the 1950s. He'll also join his son, Stephen, in the college ranks as he is currently the defensive coordinator at Washington.
On Wednesday's episode of "First Things First," host Nick Wright discussed how Belichick heading to UNC could impact his legacy as a coach and what it could mean for the Tar Heels.
Wright was stunned the 72-year-old Belichick was ready to give up his chances to return to the NFL as a coach, but he had thoughts on why this opportunity might be appealing to both parties.
"What I think is definitively true, is that Belichick said, 'if you agree to this list of demands, I'm going to be your next head coach.' And North Carolina, it seems, has come back and been like, ‘well, we agree to this list and can we work on these things.’
"But, what everyone is in agreement on in the reporting … is that Bill Belichick is ready, willing and able to forgo ever coaching in the NFL again."
Belichick was the head of the Patriots for 24 seasons, overseeing one of the most dominant runs in NFL history. He helped the team win six Super Bowls and also holds the NFL record for the most Super Bowl appearances (9), playoff wins (31) and division championships (17) ever for a head coach.
After failing to land a coaching job last offseason, Belichick has spent the past year in media, though he did confirm he would like to return to the coaching ranks at some point. However, many believed, with his history and success, Belichick would return to an NFL team as he is only 14 wins
