Tom Brady is excited about Bill Belichick making his mark on the Tar Heels.

Brady congratulated Belichick on Wednesday after the former Patriots coach agreed to a five-year deal to become North Carolina’s next head coach.

“Congratulations coach,” Brady, 47, wrote on his Instagram Story, including a post from UNC Football welcoming Belichick to Chapel Hill. “The Tar Heel Way is becoming a thing.”

The Patriot Way defined the Brady-Belichick era in New England.

The coach-quarterback duo made nine Super Bowl appearances and won a league record six titles in their 20 seasons together.

Belichick’s girlfriend, 24-year-old Jordon Hudson, shared her excitement about the move in a post on her Instagram Story on Wednesday evening.

“We’re in Chapel Hill!!!” the former cheerleader wrote, including the same message from UNC Football.

It was a reference to Belichick’s iconic line, “We’re headed to Cincinnati,” from a press conference a decade ago.

The deal still needs to be approved by the Board of Trustees, which is scheduled to hold an emergency meeting on Thursday.

It came two days after Belichick, 72, confirmed talks with UNC.

Belichick — who brought his talents to the sports media scene after parting ways with the Patriots in January after 24 seasons — has no experience at the college level.

Belichick has a long history at UNC, as his father, Steve Belichick, was an assistant coach at Chapel Hill.

“I am excited about the opportunity at UNC-Chapel Hill. “I grew up around college football with my dad and I treasured that time,” Belichick said. “I have always wanted to coach in college and now I am excited to build the soccer program at Chapel Hill.”

Belichick, who turns 73 in April, will be the oldest active head coach in the FBS.
