4-time Super Bowl Champion, TE Rob Gronkowski joins Dan Patrick on The Dan Patrick Show. He says there are few people on the planet who call him Rob and he stole the moniker “Gronk” from his brother. Growing up in Buffalo, he had always hoped to be drafted by the Bills and even approached them after his time in Tampa. And he thinks his former coach Bill Belichick would be a great coach for North Carolina but he has concerns about his ability to deal with the recruiting aspect of the college game.
Rob Gronkowski: “He would be a great coach at the University of North Carolina. My only question is; how would he do? ‘Cause when you’re a head coach in college, it’s kind of like not really being a head coach. It’s not about all football...it’s more about managing the program, and also managing these kids and recruiting them. I can’t see Coach Belichick, you know, being all-in in that situation. Coaching-wise; 100%. On the field, getting these players ready for the NFL, that’s what he would do. But, hey, when it comes to recruiting, I think that’s a question mark.”
