Bill Belichick longshot complete North Carolina contract

One of the subtle surprises about Bill Belichick taking over as the head coach at North Carolina was the five-year contract signed by the 72-year-old.The school’s official statement came out a few hours after reports that Belichick had agreed to a three-year deal. That aligned with numerous analysts suggesting the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach might take the reigns in Chapel Hill for a few years before handing the reigns over to his son, Steve, who is currently the defensive coordinator at the University of Washington.Instead, Belichick agreed to a deal with UNC until he’s at least 77. And while his son still may join him and a succession plan might be in the works, Belichick appears solely committed to his foray into coaching college football.Even the NFL might not be strong enough a draw to lure him away.”I didn’t come here to leave,” Belichick said during his introductory press conference Thursday.However, oddsmakers aren’t as sure. SportsBetting.ag is offering +150 odds that Belichick will coach all five years of his contract, compared to -200 odds that he will be gone before its conclusion.The sportsbook has opened several Belichick props.
