Belichick’s Tar Heels Under Fire | North Carolina Tar Heel Football News

Bill Belichick’s first year at North Carolina ended in disaster with just four wins, and with the pressure mounting for a turnaround, ESPN’s Paul Finebaum called his college coaching stint “embarrassing and sad,” suggesting Belichick took the job out of bitterness over his NFL career. Finebaum believes Belichick’s NFL success doesn’t translate to college, and with Vegas pegging the Tar Heels at just 4.5 wins, even five wins would be seen as a failure. Belichick’s hiring of Bobby Petrino and unproven transfer QBs hasn’t sparked optimism, and if the team fails to reach bowl eligibility again, his time in Chapel Hill could be over before 2027.
