I both like and hate this
In wonder how much of this is BB and how much of this is about flowing NIL money
Probably a good bit of both, NIL $$ potential I'm sure will be greater due to BB too.
When the news broke I remember watching Callahan on Pats Press Pass, and he was trying to say high school kids and their parents wouldn't know who Bill is, and that he'd just look like an old man on their couch... FFS, I said to myself I'll never watch another Callahan piece again.
North Carolina has found its next football coach in Bill Belichick.
The Tar Heels made the announcement of the six-time Super Bowl champion joining as Mack Brown's replacement official on Wednesday, Dec. 11, filling one of college football's several vacant head coaching positions with arguably the biggest hire of the coaching carousel season.
Bill Belichick's hiring at North Carolina means he won't be the only Belichick on the Tar Heels' coaching staff.
The 72-year-old coach's son, Steve Belichick, is believed to be heading cross country to join his dad's staff after one season serving as Washington's defensive coordinator following Washington's bowl game on New Year's Eve. Steve will reportedly be the Tar Heels' new defensive coordinator, per reports from Matt Zenitz.
Here's what to know about Bill Belichick's son, Steve Belichick, amid the report that he will join his father in Chapel Hill at North Carolina:
Following Bill Belichick's mutual agreement to part ways with New England after the 2023 NFL season, Steve Belichick moved to the college ranks to be the defensive coordinator at Washington. Steve Belichick spent 11 seasons on Bill Belichick's staff in New England in various defensive coaching roles from 2012-2023.
According to a report from Oliver Connelly at The Guardian on Dec. 6, part of Bill Belichick's negotiations with North Carolina included Steve Belichick becoming the program's next-in-line coach after Belichick retires or leaves the program. those reports are as of yet unconfirmed.
Steve Belichick spent one season as the long snapper at Rutgers in 2011, on top of being a four-year letterman on the Scarlet Knight's men's lacrosse team.
In Steve Belichick's first season in Seattle, the Huskies' defense ranked 27th in the country in total defense, giving up an average of 324.8 yards per game. Washington's defense ranked 46th in scoring defense (22.83 points per game) and tied for 52nd in red zone defense (81.0%) as well.
Before joining Fisch's staff in Seattle this season, Steve Belichick spent 12 seasons on his dad's coaching staff with the Patriots. He started as a defensive assistant in New England from 2012-2015 before being elevated to the Patriots safeties coach from 2016-2018.
He took over the Patriots' "defensive play-calling duties" in 2019 when he became the team's secondary and safeties coach after Brian Flores left the Patriots for the Miami Dolphins' head coaching job. Steve Belichick, who coached the team's outside linebackers unit from 2020-23, never was formally given the title of the team's defensive coordinator despite calling the plays.
Steve Belichick helped the Patriots to three Super Bowl titles — in 2014, 2016 and 2018 — throughout his time in Foxborough.

It's still hard to believe it happened, but the greatest coach in NFL history, Bill Belichick, is now the head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels. As if imagining Belichick outside of the pros wasn't weird enough, the college game has never been in a more bizarre spot between NIL and the transfer portal.
The Tar Heel program will be a bit of a rebuild as they finished 6-6 in 2024, but it sounds like they have solid NIL plans in place to assist the Patriots legend.
So far, Belichick doesn't appear to be having any issues adapting to the changes as he's already finding great success in the transfer portal. On Thursday, the Tar Heels landed a commitment from former four star recruit and Alabama Crimson Tide OL Miles McVay. Coming out of East St. Louis, McVay was the rated No. 138 player on the ESPN300 and the 16th-rated offensive tackle in the 2023 recruiting cycle.
With three years of eligibility remaining, McVay's decision to enter the portal isn't shocking after limited playing time, a redshirt and being stuck behind Kadyn Proctor on the depth chart. McVay will also become the first player to play for both Nick Saban and Belichick at the college level.

Why? Why not just stay in Washington and try to blaze your own trail? Leaving Washington after not even a year to run back to daddy dearest isn’t a good look.
But would he have gotten that job in the first place had it not been for his last name? I doubt it. Most coaches, with a few exceptions, need to start at the HS or college levels and work their way up.
So he shouldn't take advantage of that opportunity?
It's not fair to those without a last name. That's life. A lot of us get a head start advantage because of our name, family money, etc. So what should that person do? Decline the advantage? Hell no. Life is hard enough.
If Steve Belichick fails, the name will not save him. Look at Shula's son. It's a step into the door but not a guarantee of staying there. So far, Steve Belichick seems to produce. He'd be a fool to start in HS or low level college when he doesn't have to. And he gets to hang out with his father!
Nepotism is a problem when the little shit gets a high paying/influential job for which he has zero qualifications. Take the kids of Biden, Romney, Kerry, for example. But that's the political world where results don't mean a thing like they do in football.

Bill belichick never coached anywhere but the pros. he started out I believe with the baltimore colts. And I'm pretty sure he got that job because of his father's connections.
Listen I get it. I get as irritated as other people when people get jobs because of who they know or who they're related to(to me,that's the same thing). I think that's happened to everybody in every profession. but if the person turns out to be competent, then it's fine. the problem with it is if the person sucks ass at the job and you need to fire him or get rid of him. does that ever happen? probably not often enough
*edit*@Dingleberry said it better!
Not saying that. Just saying he’s going to hear the nepotism shit, and rightfully so, when he runs back to daddy.
While doing really nothing to separate himself from his father.
What were Steve’s qualifications? How were they so good that he deserved a pro shot right off the bat? And why didn’t Bill just name Mayo as the DC if he wanted the kid to earn it?
