Tom Brady believes the "Tar Heel way is about to becoming a thing" after Bill Belichick secured his return to coaching .

Belichick , 72, has agreed to a five-year deal to become the head coach of North Carolina's football program, subject to approval from the college's board of trustees and governors.

His father Steve was the assistant coach of the team between 1953 and 1955.

The experienced coach won six Super Bowls in New England with Brady as his quarterback before the latter left the organization.

"Congrats coach," wrote the ex-quarterback on Instagram.
