Bill Belichick reportedly interviewed for North Carolina’s vacant coaching job. And while it’s seen as the best open job, Tom Brady can’t see his former coach wanting to do it at the college level.
“No,” Brady said emphatically during his in-studio appearance on FOX’s pregame coverage. “There’s a lot of things he can do, and obviously he’s tremendous, and even showing his personality. But getting out there on the recruiting trail and dealing with all these college kids with NIL? Could you imagine him recruiting?”
Brady the imitated Belichick as a recruiter: “Do you really want to come here? We don’t really want you anyway.”

Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman agreed that they couldn’t see Belichick doing all the extra work that comes with being a college coach.
Belichick’s success as an NFL coach speaks for itself. He was shut out of the 2024 coaching cycle after parting ways with the New England Patriots earlier this year. There’s been several reports that he’ll return to the NFL sidelines in 2025 as several teams will need a new coach next season.
He’s been busy with several media gigs including co-hosting the “Let’s Go!” podcast, appearing weekly on “The Pat McAfee Show” and having his own show.
The eight-time Super Bowl champion has never coached at the college level, and sources told MassLive’s Karen Guregian that the interest from Belichick and UNC “may only be cosmetic at this point.”
Belichick is 15 wins away from breaking Don Shula’s record of most wins by an NFL coach, and according to reports Belichick wants the record to be his.
