The hilarious reason the Patriots’ Bill Belichick won’t be in college

Former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick has taken over as head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels in what is certainly a surprise.

First of all, the idea of ​​Belichick moving from the NFL level to the college ranks is strange. Belichick has never coached in college before and it appears to be retirement for the six-time Super Bowl champion.

Second, North Carolina isn’t exactly known for its football program. It’s not Ohio State, Alabama or Georgia.

Still, Belichick is joining the ACC, and current Patriots center and former New England quarterback Brian Hoyer doesn’t think it will go over very well.

“Some of those squad meetings with Bill in the morning were 50 to 60 minutes long,” Andrews said on the Quick Snap podcast.

Hoyer then complemented Andrews’ point with a pretty hilarious anecdote.

“The amount of people running to the toilet after these long meetings – when I was in my 14th year and he would have moved on to talk to the defense and I had to pee, I thought I had to do it,” Hoyer said. “It was already 8:30 a.m. and he hadn’t even gotten to special teams yet.”

So Andrews and Hoyer basically don’t think Belichick’s tactics will work on college students, which is a pretty important point.

Additionally, college coaching also involves intensive recruiting, something Belichick has never done.

This is why you often see college coaches transition to the pros rather than the other way around.

Of course, regardless of what anyone thinks, the 72-year-old will be patrolling the North Carolina sidelines next season, so the jury is still out on the Pats legend.

Belichick was the Patriots’ head coach for 24 years, leading the team to nine Super Bowl appearances and 17 AFC East Division titles.
