Bill Belichick Signs $50 Million Contract as North Carolina Football Coach

The former NFL legend's five-year deal includes significant performance bonuses and a unique buyout structure.

Bill Belichick has officially signed a five-year contract with the University of North Carolina, earning $10 million annually, with $1 million as base salary and $9 million in supplemental income.
The contract includes performance-based bonuses, such as $1.75 million for winning a national championship and $750,000 for reaching the College Football Playoff.
A buyout clause requires Belichick to pay $10 million if he leaves UNC before June 1, 2025, but this drops to $1 million after that date, fueling speculation about his long-term commitment.
Belichick's deal also includes perks such as a $100,000 relocation allowance, private jet access, and a country club membership for himself and staff.
At 72, this marks Belichick's first foray into college football coaching after a historic NFL career that included six Super Bowl wins with the New England Patriots.
