North Carolina made college football's boldest hire in the offseason, handing the program over to six-time Super Bowl winner Bill Belichick. The 73-year-old will be in his first college football job at any level.
The veteran coach is just a few months older than the man he replaces, Mack Brown.

During an appearance on SiriusXM College Sports Radio's Dusty and Danny In the Morning, Brown gave some insights into how the program has adjusted to Belichick, with the program making two significant changes to help the NFL legend succeed.
