Bill Belichick could be heading into areas unknown to him.

The 72-year-old spent nearly 50 years on the NFL sidelines, but a new report suggests he might just be interested in moving on to the college ranks.

According to Inside Carolina, the legendary coach has interviewed for the head coaching position at the University of North Carolina.

Belichick would replace another legend in Mack Brown, who holds a 288-155-1 record at UNC, Texas, Tulane and Appalachian State.

Belichick and the New England Patriots parted ways after the 2023 season, which was Belichick’s 24th season with the team. There he won six Super Bowls and another pair with the New York Giants as defensive coordinator.

UNC announced that Brown would be leaving the program before its final regular-season game against NC State, a matchup that featured a scuffle following a Wolf Pack flag-planting incident on Saturday.

Belichick’s name has been thrown around in the rumor mill amid recent coaching changes, and there may be more to come.

He interviewed with the Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Chargers in the offseason, but both went in different directions.

The eight-time Super Bowl champion has since become a media sensation, making frequent appearances on Monday Night Football’s “ManningCast.” He also served as an analyst for this year’s NFL Draft.

This is Belichick’s first reported interview since joining the NFL offseason circuit.

Belichick’s father, Steve, was a coach at Navy, but this was Belichick’s first ever college appearance. In 1975, he became a special assistant for the Baltimore Colts and his first head coaching job came 16 years later when he was named head coach of the Cleveland Browns.
