Bill Belichick, the legendary NFL coach with 22 seasons as Patriots head coach, is entering his second season with North Carolina. This year's opener against TCU takes place in Dublin, Ireland, unlike last year's game in Chapel Hill. freshyourfeel.com

The Tar Heels face challenges without defensive coordinator Steve Belichick (on medical leave) and G.M. Michael Lombardi (on paid administrative leave during an internal investigation). Belichick's $50 million five-year contract has only the first three years guaranteed, with UNC owing him one season's pay if fired after 2026. Last season, Belichick went 4-8 with a team that lacked sufficient talent despite his legendary coaching abilities.
