"hasn't just been stingy with praise for the team that let him go after years of Mac Jones-led futility; he's downright banned all mention of the Patriots from his program. Belichick has directed his staff not to post anything related to New England, which comes after revelations that he would not allow anyone connected to the Patriots in the building."
"Even though Maye is a Carolina alum, which should be a gold mine for this program, Belichick was very stingy with his praise for anything related to the Patriots. While Belichick seemingly relented in the light of some bad publicity, the fact that UNC's socials were not swimming with praise for Maye is a sign that the legendary coach's tremendously large and bruised ego seems to be doing him more harm than good."
Bill Belichick has instructed his North Carolina staff to avoid posting or mentioning anything related to the New England Patriots and has restricted Patriots-affiliated personnel from the program. Drake Maye, a Carolina alumnus, and Mike Vrabel form a promising quarterback-coach pairing for the Patriots. UNC social channels did not feature praise for Maye after Patriots successes. The Tar Heels are 2-3, with wins against Richmond and Charlotte and heavy losses to Power Four opponents. Belichick’s approach has generated negative publicity and raised concerns about recruiting, program reputation, and the coach’s transition to the collegiate ranks.
