Belichick's Second College Season Begins Today

Bill Belichick, the former NFL head coach, begins his second season with North Carolina today when the Tar Heels face TCU at noon ET in Dublin, Ireland. Unlike last year's opener in Chapel Hill, this season's game marks a new international chapter for Belichick's college football journey.

The 71-year-old coach faces challenges this season, including the absence of defensive coordinator Steve Belichick, who remains on medical leave, and GM Michael Lombardi, who is on administrative leave during an internal investigation. Belichick's focus on high-school recruits rather than the transfer portal will be tested as he enters the second year of his five-year, $50 million contract, with only the first three years guaranteed. goldparty.lat
