53 h. ago Bill Belichick built an empire on control. But UNC is letting chaos reign | Andrew Lawrence

The NFL’s great tactician was meant to elevate North Carolina football. Instead, his rigid ways, fraying staff and tone-deafness have made the Tar Heels a cautionary taleIt used to be that there was no stronger brand in football than a “Bill Belichick-coached” outfit. For most of his nearly 50 years in the pros, the phrase connoted teams that prepared for every scenario, executed directions to perfection and met all the moments in between to secure victory time and again.

Reports have said coach wants out of UNC contractTar Heels have lost three of first five games this seasonBill Belichick has denied reports that he has been considering an exit strategy from his role as North Carolina’s head coach. “Some of the reports out last week about my looking for a buyout and trying to leave here and all that, it’s just categorically false,” Belichick said on Monday during his first public comments since a blowout loss to Clemson at the start of the month. “Glad I’m here. Working toward our goals and the process.”During the second of two off weeks in a three-week span, the subject of Belichick’s status and future with the Tar Heels was a hot topic, so much so that last Wednesday the university released brief statements from the coach and athletics director Bubba Cunningham reaffirming commitments between Belichick and the school. Reports had said the 73-year-old wanted to return to the NFL as a coach or in the media. Continue reading...
