Bill Belichick is looking to kick off a new era of football at North Carolina, but the legendary coach's peers aren't expecting a quick turnaround for the program.
The longtime New England Patriots coach surprised the college football world when he took the head coaching job with the Tar Heels, ending speculation that he would be returning to the NFL. Though Belichick has scored some big recruiting wins, expectations for the program remain relatively low.
The North Carolina football program received no votes in the preseason US LBM Coaches Poll, the first time since the 2019 college football season that the team didn't get at least a single vote.
