After failing to land an NFL head teaching job throughout final yr’s hiring cycle, Invoice Belichick is headed to the school soccer ranks. He’s the brand new head coach on the College of North Carolina, in accordance with a number of studies.
Why is that this information related to the Philadelphia Eagles? Effectively, there was thought that the Birds would possibly rent him to exchange Nick Sirianni after 2024. Thought that was rooted within the Eagles reportedly exhibiting some curiosity in Belichick earlier than the Eagles determined to retain Sirianni regardless of the crew’s historic collapse on the finish of 2023.
Sirianni has clearly rebounded since final yr’s tough end with the Eagles profitable 9 straight video games to advance to an 11-2 document with 4 common season video games left to play. Barring one other tailspin and/or a first-round blowout playoff loss, Sirianni appears poised to return for 2025. So, it’s not like Belichick appeared to actually be in play anymore anyway.
However there was additionally some thought that Belichick may land elsewhere within the NFC East. Mike McCarthy’s contract is up on the finish of this season and Brian Daboll could be very a lot on the recent seat. If the Dallas Cowboys and/or New York Giants find yourself searching for a brand new head coach, they received’t be hiring Belichick.
