The NFL world buzzed with intrigue last week when Bill Belichick’s interview for the North Carolina coaching position sparked widespread speculation.
During a Fox NFL studio segment, Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, and Julian Edelman didn’t hold back their skepticism about the legendary coach potentially transitioning to college football.
Brady, in particular, struggled to envision Belichick navigating the college recruiting landscape.
When pressed about the possibility, he delivered a definitive “no” that spoke volumes.
To inject some humor into the conversation, Brady couldn’t resist mimicking what a Belichick recruiting pitch might sound like.
“Listen, do you really want to come here?” Brady jokingly said. “I mean we don’t really want you anyway, but I guess you could come, we’ll figure out if you can play.”

The impromptu impression captured the essence of Belichick’s famously no-nonsense approach, drawing laughs from his former teammates and studio colleagues.
Yet, beneath the humor, a serious conversation was unfolding about the next chapter of Belichick’s storied coaching career.
CBS Sports confirmed the interview, with Inside Carolina first reporting the details.
Despite widespread league skepticism about Belichick making the jump to college coaching, a realm he’s never explored in his extensive career, the six-time Super Bowl champion appears determined to keep his options wide open.
Therefore, one thing remains clear: Bill Belichick is not ready to fade into retirement.
Whether it’s the NFL or college football, he’s signaling that his coaching journey is far from over.
