"Belichick's first season as head coach of the Tar Heels has left a lot to be desired. In addition to the coach and his relationship with his much-younger girlfriend being the subject of national scrutiny, the product on the field has been dismal. At the time of writing, the Tar Heels were 2-3. The team's last loss a 38-10 blowout came at the hands of one of the worst offenses in the nation in Clemson."
"Bill, last game was 28-3 after the first quarter, people clearing out after halftime. Statistically, UNC has gone from a perennial bowl contender to, statistically, one of the worst teams in college football right now. And people in this building are upset, fans are upset. The people that brought you here I mean, can you acknowledge you're telling me that you believe this process is working?"
"One hundred percent, yeah, the coach responded. Absolutely, yeah. It's a learning curve. We're all in it together. But we're making a lot of progress, and the process will eventually produce the results that we want to produce like they have everywhere else I've been, so I'm very confident in that. Players are working hard, they're getting better, and we're going to continue to do that and improve."
Bill Belichick's first season as UNC head coach has produced disappointing on-field results and national scrutiny focused partly on his personal life. The Tar Heels stood 2-3 and suffered a 38-10 blowout loss to Clemson, prompting speculation about a potential buyout that was denied by both Belichick and the university. A local reporter confronted Belichick about fan anger and the team's drop from bowl contender status to one of the worst statistical teams in college football. Belichick maintained confidence, calling the situation a learning curve and insisting players and staff are improving and committed to the process.
