From the very beginning, Bill Belichick’s tenure in Chapel Hill didn’t go as planned. The Tar Heels opened the season with a lopsided loss to TCU at home, and while they righted the ship by winning their next two games, the program never found any consistency en route to a disappointing 4-8 season.
But Belichick believes better days are ahead for his Tar Heels in 2026. During an appearance on College GameDay ahead of the national championship between the Indiana Hoosiers and Miami Hurricanes, Belichick explained why he expects better fortunes for the Tar Heels in his second season at the helm.
