Bill Belichick's long-awaited college head coaching debut wound up being more about hype than substance. The hoodie, as Belichick was so affectionately known while leading the New England Patriots, had not been on the sideline for a meaningful game until Monday since January of 2024.
Unfortunately for those in attendance to support Belichick, his UNC era began the way his tenure in New England ended, with a loss. After scoring a touchdown on the first drive of the game, the Tar Heels gave up 41 unanswered points en route to a massive 48-14 defeat.
