UNC Football’s Mike Priefer Sees Opportunity in Special Teams Overhaul: 'I Love the Challenge'
Posted Aug 14, 2025
UNC’s special teams have been far from it in recent years. Since coming to Chapel Hill, Bill Belichick has brought in new special teams coordinator Mike Priefer. Like his boss, Priefer has extensive NFL experience, having worked for six franchises across two decades. The UNC job is his first in college since a stint at Northern Illinois from 2000-01.
