JUST IN: NC State QB Sends Bold Message to Bill Belichick and UNC…
The rivalry between North Carolina and NC State has always been intense, and Wolfpack quarterback CJ Bailey added fuel to the fire with a bold statement ahead of next year’s showdown.
On Wednesday, Bailey addressed the possibility of NFL legend Bill Belichick joining the Tar Heels’ coaching staff in Chapel Hill, making it clear he remains unfazed.
“Yeah, I’ve heard about it. Bill Belichick can get it, too. Whether it’s five years or whoever UNC’s coach is, we’re going to beat them,” Bailey said confidently.
NC State, located in Raleigh, NC, is on a four-game winning streak against UNC, dating back to 2021. That streak began with a 34-30 victory at Carter-Finley Stadium when Sam Howell was under center for the Tar Heels. Howell has since moved on to the NFL, developing under coach Mike Macdonald.
With a new head coach in Chapel Hill, UNC fans are hopeful the streak can be broken. But Bailey’s fiery remarks have only heightened the anticipation for their next matchup.
“It would be amazing to play against Bill Belichick and meet him, but if he’s coaching, we’re going to dominate. We’ll destroy them,” Bailey declared.
His strong words, laced with confidence and some explicit language, are sure to be remembered by Tar Heel fans as bulletin board material. If Bailey’s bravado backfires, UNC supporters won’t hesitate to remind him.
For UNC, Belichick’s rumored involvement has injected a sense of optimism and excitement into the program. Credit goes to Chancellor Lee H. Roberts and athletic director Bubba Cunningham for their strategic move. A six-time Super Bowl champion at the helm could signify a turning point for UNC football.
While there’s still work to do, Belichick’s leadership could be the first step toward a brighter future — perhaps even a spot in the College Football Playoffs.
The stage is set, and all eyes are on this evolving rivalry.
