The beginnings of coach of Bill Belichick in university football began with a roaring departure, but managed to collapse while TCU increased the scoring on his Tar Heels of the UNC, 48-14, Monday evening.
During his first post-match press conference, Belichick was his normal stoic self, as he trained when the Patriots of New England. But this time was justified, since there was not much to say positively after starting with a touchdown touch and let this momentum slide the lane of horns with horns for the rest of the game.
Belichick, surrounded by the backdrop of the “most sticky” balloon, said that the Tar Heels must simply be better in each phase.

“It was a great atmosphere for the match here tonight. Fans had huge energy,” said Belichick in his opening remarks. “We played competitively, and we simply could not maintain it. So, obviously, we have a lot of work to do. We have to do a better job all around – coaching, reading, the three phases of the game. It was not what it should be, and we are much better than that. We have to work on these things and show this on Saturday.
“Give credit to TCU, they entered and did a good job. They were clearly the best team tonight. They deserved to win, and they did it decisively.”
Bill Belichick’s UNC coach starts end with home defeat against TCU
There was an obvious national reaction to watch Tar Heels de Belichick take a beat at home on Monday evening, with some pointing because his worst loss in the NFL was a 38-3 defeat against the Dallas cowboys in 2023. It was his last year leading the franchise after winning many super bowls.
In addition, some fans have been the subject of his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, 24, spotted on the touch to speak to him before kick -off.
Over the match, it was clear that TCU adapted after the opening score of 83 yards of the UNC, and they started to run away with the match after the quarter-arrière Josh Hoover was mounted on the right track.

The football writer of CBS Sports College, John Talty, even wondered if the Tar Heels played for their coaches after the deficit became so important.
“It’s a Whheppin directly,” he wrote on X. “Steve Belichick’s defense seems to have left its doors against TCU.
It would always be a challenge for Belichick, regardless of his CV, to immediately transform the Tar Heels program. There were more than 70 transfers that came to Chapel Hill, and the implementation of a new program with new diagrams certainly does not happen immediately.

However, with the pump and the circumstances on Monday evening as well as the national spotlights, this beginning for the UNC was not what football fans are used to a team led by Belichick.
As he mentioned, it’s a short week for the Tar Heels, who will play Charlotte’s 49ers on Saturday.
