An endorsement from one GOAT wasn't enough as another GOAT landed the position.
The entire football world was shook Wednesday when news came down that legendary head coach Bill Belichick was taking the North Carolina opening.
The Tar Heels of course are replacing Mack Brown, who was forced out at the end of this regular season. Belichick hasn't coached in the college ranks previously but if you want to recruit kids to campus who have dreams of playing in the NFL, hiring a six-time Super Bowl champion head coach is certainly one way to do it.
