How is Belichick the UNC coach and legally working under UNC if he hasn’t signed the contract?
- Thread starter PSUWrestlingFanSince2011
- Start date
If I remember my business law classes correctly the only thing that requires a written contract is the buying and selling of real estate.
UNC Administrators must be sweating bullets right now. Would be so embarrassing for them if Belichick just up and leaves. Not sure how they could ask for a buyout without a contract.
Has Belichick received/accepted payment from UNC for his position as head coach?
Not sure but we should be back in the Bryce Baker sweepstakes if he leaves.
What a clown show. How did they not demand he sign a contract?
Good question. If so, perhaps the lawyers on this site could chime in with their analysis.
Not that unusual. Kirk Ferentz worked for Iowa a while before his contract was signed. The problem here is that Belichick hasn't always been one to stick with his commitments.
That's one. Some others:
Agreements to pay someone else's debts
Contracts that take longer than one year to complete
Real estate leases for longer than one year
Contracts for over a certain amount of money (depending on the state)
Contracts that will last longer than the life of the party performing the contract
A transfer of personal property at the death of the party performing the contract
It appears this does not apply to Belechick. I was reminded today that UM Head Coach Sherrone Moore did not sign his contract until July 2024 after being named HC in late January/early February 2024.
Yeah did Joe even have an agent? Babe Ruth didn’t have an agent. Lamar Jackson doesn’t have an agent. Contrary to what certain know-it-alls proclaim, not everyone governs their life by money.
How can NBC broadcast Big Ten games when they don’t have a signed contract with the conference?

NBC frustrated with its Big Ten deal, which remains un-signed

Pretty sure all coaches have buyouts and contracts within a reasonable timeframe.
At the time when he was working without a signed deal when asked about the need for a signed contract Ferentz said something about it coming down to trust in the quality of people he was working for. I think Joe said similar things at one point. Unfortunately, things don't always go as expected and not everyone had honorable intentions in business. It's a good thing for Sue and family that Joe did have a contract.
If I were hiring a coach, he/she would be at-will. Why would you hire someone who could fail at their job, yet you had to continue to pay them, for years after the failure.
Lol. You better recruit your at will coach at McDonalds or Walmart. Good luck.
I thought you'd still be busy trying to figure out who to sue for the lack of contact tracing.
So you wouldn't have a coach and you'd be fired
I get your point but no one that's even a decent HC would agree. Just like you, as an AD, would agree to your role without security

? Don't do employment law. Your post betrays a stunning ignorance of how college fb coaches and their employers arrange their employment. What you said is the equivalent of saying you'd have offered Nick Saban minimum wage to lure him away from Bama.
