Fans, media roast Bill Belichick for Carolina’s offensive struggles after opening TD
By Andrew Olson
Published:
Bill Belichick’s college football coaching debut got off to a strong start, then things quickly took a turn south.
On the opening possession, Belichick’s UNC squad marched down the field for a touchdown to take a 7-0. Since that 7-play, 83-yard drive, the Tar Heels struggled to do much right. UNC had 3 possessions result in negative yardage and then quarterback Gio Lopez threw a pick-6 that extended TCU’s lead in Chapel Hill to 17-7 after the extra point.
On social media, fans and media members are joking about how long Belichick will tolerate his offense’s issues and what he might do to “fix” the Tar Heels. Here’s a sample of what people are saying:

UNC offense has been awful since that first drive. Three and out, three and out, three and out, pick six. Heels haven't gotten Gio Lopez going at all.

Wow, North Carolina’s offense is so vanilla. The defense is Swiss Cheese. Is Bill Belichick being exposed as a mediocre coach? I know this is the first game, but this team looks ass. In Conclusion, Tom Brady turned Bill Belichick a made man.
