Fred Toucher, co-host of Toucher & Hardy, didn’t hold back when reacting to Mike Lombardi’s recent comments about Bill Belichick’s possible move to college football. Lombardi suggested Belichick might consider the head coach job at the University of North Carolina, where he reportedly had a five-hour interview with UNC officials on Sunday.
Lombardi, known for his loyalty to Belichick, speculated that Belichick’s love for coaching and frustration with recent struggles in New England could make the UNC job appealing. Lombardi emphasized that Belichick might welcome the control college programs offer, something harder to achieve in today’s NFL.
Toucher mocked Lombardi’s take, calling him “a real dummy” and accusing him of constantly praising Belichick to stay relevant. “That’s why people have him on—to make him praise Belichick so they can laugh at him later,” Toucher said. He compared Lombardi to Beetlejuice from Howard Stern, known for his misguided confidence and outrageous claims.
Toucher’s critique highlights skepticism about the idea of Belichick leaving the NFL for college football. Many fans and analysts remain doubtful, especially with Belichick still chasing Don Shula’s all-time wins record.
