Even the team’s pro day — traditionally a showcase for players entering the NFL draft — went unattended by Belichick. Instead, he and general manager Mike Lombardi reportedly focused on assembling their “own team,” leaving players and alumni feeling alienated.
Decline on the Field
Under Belichick’s leadership, North Carolina has lost to its three Power Five opponents by an average of 29 points. Fans now question whether his NFL-style management is compatible with college football.
As one observer put it, “Maybe we shouldn’t have expected these guys to understand what’s important in college football when they’ve spent every day since demonstrating clearly that they do not.”
Belichick’s once-untouchable reputation is taking hits from every angle — from poor performance to off-field distractions. For North Carolina fans, it’s become clear that the program existed long before him — and will continue long after he’s gone.
