Colin Cowherd Shares Intriguing Take on Bill Belichick’s Tar Heels

Fox show host Colin Cowherd continues to be a fun listen, with one of his latest obsessions being Bill Belichick’s North Carolina.

 The former NFL coach, who won six Super Bowls while leading the New England Patriots, shocked the football universe when he accepted the Tar Heels' Job in December 2024, as many believed he wanted to return to a professional locker room. 

Now, he’s coaching college students and is on the front lines of recruitment. Belichick recently helped flip four-star safety Jakob Weatherspoon's commitment from Ohio State to North Carolina, and Cowherd loves it. 

“Ohio State lost like a four-star recruit to Bill Belichick and North Carolina. I’m fascinated with this story,” Cowherd said. He’s a grumpy 73-year-old who never really showed any interest in college football.”

Despite being less experienced at the college level, Cowherd sees potential for a breakout season due to their competition being worse than that of other major conferences. 

“I think if Belichick was in the SEC or Big 10, he’d get absolutely rolled, but the ACC is so God awful outside of Clemson. He may just coach his way to a lot of wins,” Cowherd said. 
“If you look at the schedule, it’s not exactly powerhouses. The oddsmakers, they’ve given them the ninth best odds to win the horrible ACC,” he added. 

With South Alabama transfer quarterback potentially emerging as a dual-threat talent, Belichick’s tactical brilliance could shine. As the Tar Heels prepare for their season opener against TCU, the mixture of a manageable schedule and Belichick’s football knowledge could make them a school to watch in 2025.
