Bill Belichick Begins Second College Football Season

Bill Belichick starts his second season in college football with North Carolina, facing TCU in Dublin, Ireland, amid challenges including key absences on his coaching staff.

Bill Belichick is set to begin his second season as head coach at North Carolina today at noon ET, following two seasons without coaching in the NFL.

This season kicks off with a game against TCU, which will take place in Dublin, Ireland, differing from last year's home game in Chapel Hill. Notably, defensive coordinator Steve Belichick is on medical leave, and G.M. Michael Lombardi is on paid administrative leave due to an internal investigation.

The team's roster has been heavily focused on high-school recruits for 2026, with less emphasis on transfers. Belichick's previous season ended with a 4-8 record, and the performance of the new recruits will be crucial for his future, as only the first three years of his five-year, $50 million contract are guaranteed.
