Truthfully speaking, the NFL coach of the New England Patriots for such a long time, Bill Belichick, has decided to stun the world by leaving the previous team for a coaching job at the University of North Carolina, or UNC. The news arrived after a highly-anticipated press conference earlier today, in which the name of the legendary coach Belichick is simply associated with NFL success and record-breaking successes.
Despite his known career as a football coach, the move to join UNC is shocking for Belichick, especially given his new role in the NFL. The appointment is a part of a plan by the university to improve its athletic departments among them seeking to boost both the football program and the academic standing of the university.
Specifically, during the press conference Belichick was asked about how he applied his NFL experience to coaching a collegiate team and his answer was quite laconic yet quite mysterious. “We’ll see,” Belichick remarked, quickly avoiding divulging his concrete aims or objectives for the already new position.
It is a typical Belichick’s remark, very unemotional and straightforward which accedes with his overall mannerisms of one of the most effective NFL coaches. People are interested in what kind of success he is going to achieve in the college space whether it will be the same kind of success of the NFL space or whether it is a move to be more of a figurehead, maybe more institutional than actually winning championships.
Belichick’s entry into college football is an unexpected, though very interesting development in the world of sports. His renowned ability to adapt himself to challenges and unrelenting focus on strategy has made him one of the most respected figures in the history of American football. However, there’s an issue about how his coaching style might go on to translate to a much younger, less experienced pool of players.
UNC officials welcomed Belichick, speaking of his vast experience and leadership qualities. “We are thrilled to have Coach Belichick join our team,” said athletic director Bubba Cunningham. “His experience and vision will be invaluable as we continue to grow and develop our football program.”
At this point, only those fans and analysts who would want to know what lies in store with the words “We’ll see.”.
