Former Alabama QB the First Hire on Bill Belichick’s UNC Staff: Roll Call, December 13, 2024

Former Alabama QB First Hire on Bill Belichick’s UNC Staff
Roll Call, December 13, 2024

In a surprising but intriguing move, Bill Belichick has made his first hire for the University of North Carolina (UNC) football team, and it’s a familiar face from the Alabama football program. Jalen Milroe, the former Alabama quarterback who recently entered the Transfer Portal, has been brought on as part of Belichick’s inaugural coaching staff for the Tar Heels.

Milroe, who began his college career as a highly regarded quarterback for Alabama, displayed moments of promise but faced stiff competition for the starting role. His decision to leave Alabama and pursue new opportunities led him to UNC, where he will join Belichick’s revamped coaching staff as a quarterback coach and offensive strategist. This hire is viewed as a significant step for Milroe’s coaching career, despite his relatively brief playing tenure.

“I’m excited to join Coach Belichick’s staff and to bring my experiences from Alabama to help shape the next generation of quarterbacks at UNC,” Milroe said in a statement. “Coach Belichick has a vision for this program, and I’m eager to be a part of it.”

Milroe’s addition to the staff signals Belichick’s commitment to bringing in fresh, energetic minds with strong football backgrounds. Known for his leadership on and off the field, Milroe is expected to help guide UNC’s quarterbacks in their development, offering a unique perspective as a player who navigated intense competition during his college career.

As Milroe begins this new chapter in coaching, UNC fans are eager to see how his presence on the staff will influence the development of the Tar Heels’ future quarterbacks under the guidance of the legendary Belichick.
