According to sources, UNC is offering Bill Belichick the head football coaching job

According to sources, former New England Patriots coach and six-time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick has been offered the head coaching job at the University of North Carolina. A few days later, he confirmed that he had had “a few good conversations” with North Carolina Chancellor Lee. As Roberts reported on the Tar Heels’ head coaching job, multiple sources told WRAL that he had been offered the job. Belichick reportedly has a long list of demands for UNC, including a 400-page document calling for a new coach and recruiting staff. He also demanded that his son, Stephen Belichick, be the next head coach after him. As for Belichick’s salary, analysts said he could earn up to $12 million per year. This week on ESPN’s “The Pat McAfee Show,” Belichick said he has spent the 11 months since leaving the Patriots “taking a longer look at college football” throughout the season rather than during the spring before the draft as a professional coach. Belichick would replace Mack Brown, UNC’s all-time winningest coach and a College Football Hall of Famer, who was fired in November. Brown’s last game was a loss to rival NC State on November 30th. Belichick, 72, who enjoyed decades of success in the NFL, never worked at the college level, but his father was an assistant coach with the Tar Heels from 1953 to 1955. He and the Patriots announced they were parting ways the following January, ending a disappointing season. Jerod Mayo replaced Belichick as the Patriots’ head coach the next day. Belichick became head coach of the Patriots on January 27, 2000, less than two weeks after he resigned as head coach of the New York Jets on the day scheduled to be his inaugural press conference. He had a 296-133 record between the regular season and postseason in 24 seasons as New England’s head coach. If you include the five seasons he was head coach of the Cleveland Browns (1991-95), he has an overall record of 333-178. His 31 postseason wins, all but one with the Patriots, are by far the most by any coach in NFL history and he is only the third coach to win 300 or more regular-season games. Belichick trails only Don Shula (328) and George Halas (318) on the all-time regular season wins list, and Shula is the only one ahead of Belichick on the combined wins list (347). Belichick was rumored to be in pursuit of other NFL jobs, including with the Atlanta Falcons in January, but no job materialized this season and the former coach signed a contract with ESPN instead.
