North Carolina coach Bill Belichick can now add baseball to his illustrious coaching resume.
The six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach appeared as a surprise guest coach for the Savannah Bananas in the Banana Ball Championship League, an exhibition baseball league. A viral video of Belichick's introduction onto the baseball diamond in front of 50,000-plus fans went viral from Saturday night's game.
It even included a clip of Belichick challenging a double play call on first base and getting it overturned. He didn't even need to reach into his sock to retrieve a challenge flag to do it, either, like he did for so many years as the former head coach of the New England Patriots.

No, things haven't gone according to plan at North Carolina, and his final years in New England were rocky enough to get him ousted. But all of the years of success as the architect of the greatest dynasty in NFL history—nobody can ever take that away.
