Bill Belichick is shortly getting adjusted to life as a school soccer coach.
Belichick formally took the reins at North Carolina earlier this week and appears to be making the introductory rounds on the Chapel Hill campus. That meant stopping in at North Carolina’s basketball sport Saturday in opposition to La Salle.
Belichick walked to the center of the courtroom on the Dean Smith Center throughout halftime and as is customized within the school world, addressed the followers in attendance. Of course, the 72-year-old heard cheers from the North Carolina trustworthy. After all, he’s essentially the most completed coach to ever take the helm of the varsity’s soccer program and we really feel protected saying the Tar Heels gained’t ever have an even bigger signing at that place.
But as Belichick started to talk, some followers broke out right into a stunning chant than many most likely didn’t count on to listen to. There will need to have been Philadelphia Eagles followers in attendance as an audible “E-A-G-L-E-S, Eagles!” chant rang by way of the world. You can have a listen for yourself here.
It’s not stunning that Belichick remained unfazed by the potential distraction as he continued to only converse into the mic.

Belichick, as he does with nearly each NFL staff, has a historical past with the Eagles. Belichick guided the New England Patriots to their third Super Bowl victory in 4 years over the Eagles within the early 2000s to cement a dynasty. But Philadelphia received revenge 13 years later by defeating New England, 41-33, in Super Bowl LII. That sport is most recognized for Belichick’s head-scratching resolution to bench Malcolm Butler.
Belichick may need left the NFL behind, but it surely looks like he’ll be always reminded of his time there whereas with North Carolina.
