Bobby Petrino Joining Bill Belichick as North Carolina's Offensive Coordinator
North Carolina head coach Bill Belichick is hiring longtime college football coach Bobby Petrino as the team's next offensive coordinator, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel. Petrino finished the 2025 season as Arkansas' interim head coach following the firing of Sam Pittman. He began his coaching career in 1983 and has worked as an offensive coordinator at 10 different stops, including Louisville, Auburn, Arkansas, Texas A&M, and the Jacksonville Jaguars. He's 137-78 as a head coach between stints with Louisville, Arkansas, Missouri State, and Western Kentucky. While Arkansas turned in a 2-10 record this season, its offense ranked inside the top five in the conference in total yards per game, passing yards per game, rushing yards per game, and points per game. Petrino brings a storied resume of offensive production with him to Chapel Hill, and he'll be tasked with getting the Tar Heels' offense off the ground after it was one of the worst units in the ACC under former OC Freddie Kitchens.
