A day after going through the media wringer at ACC kickoff, the new North Carolina coach got a taste of what goes into college-football coaching at the annual Pigskin Preview luncheon.

In December 2024, UNC hired 8-time Super Bowl Champion Bill Belichick to be their next head coach. Belichick started his coaching career with the then-Baltimore Colts in 1975, coaching in the NFL until January 2024 with the New England Patriots.

This article was originally published on www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq as Bill Belichick 'trying to impress his girlfriend' with North Carolina job, Paul Finebaum says.

Were you waiting for a hoodwinked boyfriend to show up at ACC media days? Nothing to see here. Bill Belichick is just North Carolina's football coach.

At the ACC Kickoff, multiple players issued statements on the absence of a problem in Bill Belichick's relationship with Jordon Hudson.

The only missing touches were walk-up music — think Springsteen or Bon Jovi — followed by tuxedoed ring announcer Michael Buffer commanding the packed house: “LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE!”

The Atlantic Coast Conference has three former NFL head coaches leading its football programs this fall for the most of any league.

Bill Belichick is already facing high expectations for his first year as UNC head coach, and one of his counterparts made a bold prediction.
