The North Carolina Tar Heels and Bill Belichick reportedly landed a top defensive transfer on Wednesday amid rumors of his interest in NFL openings.

Bill Belichick's plans have been revealed by an NFL insider amid buzz he could leave UNC to coach the Raiders or another team.

Belichick famously spurned the New York Jets after he was named Bill Parcells’s successor. His tenure lasted less than 24 hours after he wrote his resignation on a napkin and jumped ship to take over the New England Patriots. This move paid off handsomely.

As noted when Belichick first signed with UNC, his contract includes a section detailing what would happen if the coach terminated his contract without cause. If he does so before June 1, 2025, then Belichick (or the NFL team that hires him) owes the university a whopping $10 million. But after June 1, it drops to merely $1 million.

North Carolina football received more confirmation that Bill Belichick will stay with the university, according to Michael Lombardi.

New to the social media platform X, Bill Belichick's feed -- @unchapelbill -- indicates he's minding his own business and chasing quality BBQ during his first month on the job as head coach at North Carolina.

According to a report from The Athletic, Bill Belichick has no plans of leaving his post at UNC for another shot at the NFL.

As the dust from Black Monday settles, multiple head-coaching vacancies need to be filled in the NFL, and a surprising new candidate has entered the mix — Bill Belichick.  According to NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero,

The Raiders make the most sense. He reveres Al Davis, the late father of current team owner Mark Davis. And Tom Brady, the quarterback with whom Belichick won six Super Bowls, could be working on Belichick to join forces on the team that Pats took down 23 years ago in the notorious Tuck Rule game.

Bill Belichick has a simple way out of the North Carolina contract as NFL teams reach out about a potential return to coaching.

According to the NFL Network, “multiple” NFL teams have approached Belichick about their coaching vacancies. And one of those teams is the Las Vegas Raiders, where Tom Brady is a minority owner.
