Bill Belichick possibly becoming the head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels was an underappreciated storyline going into conference championship weekend.

Now that the College Football Playoff bracket is set, the bowl games are scheduled and the transfer portal is open, the rumors about Belichick possibly taking over the program returned Monday. Belichick’s girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, gave him her seal of approval.

She responded to a comment on her Instagram on Monday about trying to convince Belichick to Chapel Hill.

“I’ll pass the message along …,” she wrote back with a smirking emoji and a baby blue heart.

Inside Carolina first reported that Belichick was interviewed for the Tar Heels job. The news came as North Carolina announced in late November that College Football Hall of Famer Mack Brown would not be returning to the school for the 2025 season. Brown stayed with the team through their rivalry loss against N.C. State.

Freddie Kitchens was named the interim head coach for the Tar Heels’ bowl game. North Carolina will play in the Fenway Bowl against UConn.

Belichick was linked to NFL head coaching jobs last spring after he mutually parted ways with the New England Patriots. He was linked to the Atlanta Falcons’ job, but he did not capture it.

He has not commented one way or the other about the link.
