Bill Belichick's 1st season at North Carolina has run into problems on and off the field

Of all the ugly moments so far — bad play, blowout losses, home fans fleeing early for the exits — the most telling moment of Bill Belichick's first season at North Carolina came during an open week. It took the form of a pair of terse statements from Belichick and athletic director Bubba Cunningham posted on social media late Wednesday, reaffirming the marriage between the six-time Super Bowl winner from the NFL's New England Patriots and the school desperately seeking to elevate its football program beyond decades of also-ran status. “I'm fully committed to UNC Football and the program we're building here,” Belichick said.
