Bill Belichick added a familiar face to his coaching staff at North Carolina.
Former New England Patriots linebacker Jamie Collins, who played 79 games under Belichick during his NFL career, will be joining the Tar Heels as a defensive assistant in 2025 (via TMZ Sports).
"Blessed for the opportunity," Collins said. "My guy. I love that dude, he love me. Obviously, he can't get rid of me so we'll see how that works out. But I'm grateful, man. I'm shocked, but grateful and ready."
Collins explained that he'll "mainly" work with North Carolina's linebackers.
