Bill Belichick’s coaching resume in the NFL ranks speaks for itself.

But even with eight Super Bowl championships (two as Giants’ DC, six as Patriots head coach) on his ledger, Belichick apparently has plenty of doubters entering his first season as head coach of the University of North Carolina Football team.

CBS Sports released its annual ranking of the 68 Power Four coaches in college football this week, with the usual suspects like Georgia’s Kirby Smart (No. 1), Ohio State’ Ryan Day (No. 2), and Clemson’s Dabo Swinney (No. 3) leading the pack ahead of the 2025 season.
