Belichick Ignores Media Again | North Carolina Tar Heel Football News

Bill Belichick stunned fans and media when he walked right past an ESPN reporter during North Carolina’s game against TCU—no wave, no word, just a silent exit. While critics call it disrespectful, this isn’t new for the legendary coach, who’s long been known for his terse or absent post-game interviews—from skipping a CBS chat after a 2013 loss to giving minimal answers in 2021. Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe noted that while Belichick’s personal pressures are understandable, media engagement remains part of the job—and compared his style to Gregg Popovich’s famously short answers. But Belichick did eventually address reporters, praising his team’s relentless preparation and fight throughout the full 60 minutes against TCU. At 74, he’s not likely to soften his approach, especially as UNC looks to build on their season. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
