Bill Belichick’s legacy is arguably the greatest of any professional football coach to ever grace the sidelines. However, some are worried it could be sullied during his first season in college football at North Carolina in 2025.

Paul Finebaum is one of those people. If Belichick fails, pundits may point to his time with the Tar Heels before thinking about his multiple Super Bowl victories, as it’s fresher in their minds.

“There’s some, because (his legacy) has already been diminished,” Finebaum stated, regarding whether or not there’s worry for Belichick damaging his legacy, via Get Up on Friday. “We all know he’s won six Super Bowls. It’s the greatest NFL career of all time. But we often remember what you do last. 

“I mean, Willie Mays was my favorite player as a kid, but I remember him dropping a fly ball in the World Series. It happens. I’m afraid for Bill Belichick, it’s going to happen again.”

While Finebaum makes some salient points, others aren’t as sure. Former NFL general manager Mike Tannenbaum pushed back on the SEC Network analyst’s idea, thinking that Belichick’s legacy is secure, and can even be improved in Year 1 in Chapel Hill.
