Eight-time Super Bowl winner, Bill Belichick, was hired as the North Carolina Tar Heels football head coach. It is an excellent opportunity for him to reconnect with his roots, as his father, Steve Belichick once coached at UNC from 1953 to 1955.
However, the ex-New England Patriots coach, who signed a $50 million contract for five years, could soon pivot back to the NFL as questions around his $50,000 buyout clause have come to light.
For instance, if he leaves UNC before June 1, 2025, it would cost him $10 million. That said, the figure will come down to just $1 million if the date crosses June 1. It is just a fraction of the ex-NFL coach's career earnings.
The buyout amount shall be payable to the University within 180 days of the date of termination.
