Bill Belichick's salary at North Carolina: School releases football coach's contract details
Bill Belichick is officially the football coach of North Carolina. How much is the school paying him. Here are the details of the agreement:
www.yahoo.com
The University of North Carolina has agreed to pay new football coach Bill Belichick $10 million a year, according to a term sheet the university released Thursday afternoon.
While the agreement is for five years, only the first three years’ pay is guaranteed in case Belichick is fired without cause.
The annual pay figure is double what North Carolina had been paying recently fired coach Mack Brown. It would make Belichick the sixth-highest paid college football coach at a public school for the 2025 football season, according to the USA TODAY Sports annual salaries database and contracts obtained through open-records requests.
Among coaches at public schools, Belichick will trail Georgia’s Kirby Smart, Clemson’s Dabo Swinney, Texas' Steve Sarkisian, Florida State's Mike Norvell and Alabama's Kalen DeBoer. Southern California’s Lincoln Riley was paid $10,043,418 during the 2022 calendar year, according to the university’s most recently available tax records – the only documents available because USC is a private school.
Belichick’s deal also provides him with a $100,000 expense annual expense account and the possibility of getting $3.5 million a year in bonuses. Among the bonuses, a total of $250,000 looks to be routinely attainable: $150,000 for the team playing in a non-CFP bowl game, which generally requires a record of at least 6-6 (UNC's record this season), and $100,000 for the team having a single-year NCAA Academic Progress Rate figure of 950 to 969 (the team has exceeded 950 in each of the past three years).
In addition, the term sheet says North Carolina will provide:
--$10 million as an "assistant coach salary pool." (This season, UNC is paying nearly $7.4 to its 10 primary assistants, according to information obtained from the school by USA TODAY Sports. The NCAA Division I Council this past summer eliminated its 10-person limit on the number on-field assistant coaches at schools other than service academies.)
--$1 million for strength and conditioning staff.
--$5.3 million for support staff, including funding for a new general manager position with pay "not to exceed $1.5 million." During a news conference Thursday, Belichick said that role will be taken by Mike Lombardi, a former NFL executive. Alabama GM Courtney Morgan is due to make $825,000 next season.
--$13 million as what the term sheet called "revenue sharing.” This is presumably a figure that represents the total amount of money the university plans to pay to football players as consideration for the use of their name, image and likeness if a federal judge grants final approval in April to the proposed settlement of antitrust lawsuits against the NCAA and the Power Five conferences.
So far, North Carolina is the first school to publicly disclose as part of a coach's employment terms the amount it intends to provide football players for their NIL rights.
Under the settement's terms, schools are expected to be allowed to pay their athletes, across all sports, $20 million to $23 million for their NIL rights.

Cracker bitch
never going to agree with you on this one,bud. players have to put in the work to develop their talent. but coaches develop it.
I'm with you. I watch ZERO college football. Just don't give a fuck.
Now I'm going to know the UNC team inside and out. Watch every game.
Time to cut down on NFL.
Serious question about coaching, but using the local heroes:
What did Brady learn from BB in his rookie year that he wouldn't/couldn't have learned from an average NFL head coach?
1. According to Brady himself, he and BB used to meet not only to go over their own offensive tendencies but to dissect opposing defenses.
That alone for a QB like Brady who had IT is priceless. You think Herm Edwards or Jeff Fisher gives him that sort of insight into a D?
2. Brady was wrongly accused of being nothing more than a game manager in the first dynasty. However, those early year defenses did allow Brady to win early before he truly became Tom fucking Brady. He didn't HAVE to be the clutch guy every game before he was ready. There were plenty of wins where the offense barely scored back then. That allowed him to grow. But when it was needed (the last drive of the SB), he was Brady. Belichick doesn't win 3 SB's there without a Brady. But Brady doesn't win those either with a middle of the road coach.
3. How many coaches would have gone back to Bledsoe when he was healthy? Most. Probably all. It's revisionist history, but at least half our stupid fan base wanted Bledsoe. Belichick knew. Is that development? Maybe not. But Brady probably isn't playing in 2001, 2002, etc with an average coach.
The later years of GM Belichick and the last year of coach Belichick have been used to denigrate the previous 19 years or so. It's disgusting.
And fuck Hand Job Bob for being the leader of that. Midget Jewish cunt.
How many QB's would have won with THAT team and coach in 01, 03, 04?
People act as if it was some supreme act of courage for a floundering HC to stick with the guy who was winning game for him. It's nonsense. Hell, even in the Dolphins perfect season, they guy who'd been winning kept the starting job until the AFC Championship game. And even there, he was pulled after starting the game, after the team got off to a slow start, not replaced as the starter prior to the game.
I'm not going to do the moving goalposts thing. My question was specific for a reason:
Brady was a "slipped through the cracks" guy, not someone in desperate need of game development, and he showed that even as a non-playing rookie. He was the backup by the end of the season. Are we going to pretend that BB was such a mastermind that he did that with Brady, but didn't bother with it for any other QB he's ever coached?

You said other coaches would have gotten 3 SB's right away out of Brady.
The inverse of that is a natural question and not moving the goal posts.
Let the record show that the witness refused to answer the question. Pleading the 5th would have been better for you.
That's not even remotely close to anything I said.
Your Honor, I would like to halt the trial and let the witness seek counsel.
That's not even remotely close to anything I said.
Ok, that was moving the goal posts a little
But winning early was huge part of his developing into the GOAT.

BB won because of Brady, not the other way around. The data on this is irrefutable:
5-11
0-2
14-3
I'm not trying to diminish BB with this, but Brady was/is a special case. He slipped to the 6th round because every team in the league screwed up, not because he deserved to be a 6th round pick. And he showed that from day one, which is why he was kept on the roster as the QB4 and then ended up as the QB2 by the end of the season.
That doesn't mean that BB and the Patriots coaches didn't help him. But if BB was the key and the reason, developing Brady when nobody else could have done it, why wasn't BB the key to Bishop becoming the greatest of all time, or Cassell, or JAG, or Brissett, or any of the other QBs the team had under Belichick? Why didn't most, or all, of those guys at least thrive in the league as top tier QBs because of that development?
