If this was just five years ago, let alone 10 or 20, the prospect of 72-year-old Bill Belichick as a college football coach would have been more about a splashy hire than the promise of great success.
The low expectations would have nothing to do with actual coaching — Belcihick is the greatest winner the NFL has ever known, with six Super Bowls as head coach of the New England Patriots and two more as the defensive coordinator of the New York Giants.
He is a teacher, an innovator and a leader. He’d be incredible at coaching the game.
