Kliff Kingsbury would have to see it to believe it.
The former Texas Tech head coach and Washington Commanders offensive coordinator still has questions about Bill Belichick's UNC coaching.
“We’ll see how the NFL job search goes and everything else,” Kingsbury said Thursday. According to NBC Sports. “You have to see [Belichick] Believe it's happening while watching from the sidelines and coaching in Chapel Hill. ”
Well, unless some last-minute blockage occurs on an unprecedented scale, that certainly seems to be happening.
Belichick, 72, held an induction press conference in Chapel Hill on Thursday, a day after news broke that a deal had been finalized to bring the six-time Super Bowl champion to a five-year contract.
“I've always wanted to coach college football,” Belichick said at Thursday's ceremony. “It didn't go well at all.”
The second-winningest head coach in NFL history continued. I grew up playing college football with my father, who has been involved in college football for 50 years. All I knew was college football. It's great to be back in the Carolinas, where I grew up. ”
Before he racked up 302 regular season wins and 31 postseason wins, before his New England dynasty and his unceremonious breakup with Patriots owner Robert Kraft, before his roasts and hoops and bike rides around Nantucket, Bill was just… He was a boy. A toddler looks up at his father, the coach.
Bill's father, Steve Belichick, was an assistant coach for the Tar Heels from 1953 to 1955.
He then moved to the Navy, where he served as an assistant from 1956 to 1989.
Bill's decision shocked the university and the entire working class.
Lawrence Taylor is thrilled to be one of them.
Perhaps many NFL general managers and owners had hopes that one of the greatest minds in the game would come out of retirement to lead their team, but they aren't all that excited. Maybe.
Belichick has been rumored to have a number of head coaching vacancies, and his departure from the race has made them a little thinner.
Perhaps for an aspirant like Kingsbury, that could be a blessing. No disguise needed.
Kingsbury, a former Cardinals head coach, is a top candidate for the Bears' head coaching job and will likely receive attention from other organizations in the league.
“I don't see my husband doing home visits,” Kingsbury joked Thursday.
Kingsbury completed his entire college career last year, so he knows the local situation well.
The 45-year-old former quarterback was a senior offensive assistant at USC, where current Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was playing his final year of college baseball.
