Bill Belichick’s first year as head coach of the UNC football team came to a close on Saturday, with the Tar Heels capping off a disappointing 4-8 season with a 42-19 loss to regional rival NC State.
And in the immediate aftermath of that season-ending loss, the former Patriots head coach wasn’t exactly in the mood to reflect on a season gone awry.
In a vintage press conference all too familiar to his days in front of a mic in Foxborough, Belichick largely grumbled through a four-minute meeting with the media.
“We’ll take a look at the season later,” Belichick said when asked what factors made his first year coaching in the collegiate ranks a challenge.
