The entire football ecosystem was sent into shock when Bill Belichick agreed to coach college football right in the Carolina Panthers backyard at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Belichick, the second-winningest NFL head coach of all-time and famous curmudgeon is set to pull a Will Ferrell in 'Old School ' and head back to college.

Moments after telling a room full of media members and his new bosses and colleagues at the University of North Carolina that his first words were "beat Duke," new Tar Heels coach Bill Belichick was asked about the possibility of him coaching for a couple of seasons in Chapel Hill before going back to the NFL.

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.
