Bill Belichick breaks tradition at UNC sparking controversy among college football fans | NFL News

Bill Belichick, the 73-year-old head coach of the University of North Carolina’s football team, has decided to make only a single appearance on the team’s traditional weekly radio show this season. The first episode is scheduled for August 27, just before the Tar Heels’ season opener against Texas Christian University on September 1. Following this initial appearance, Belichick will step back from the show. The renamed “Carolina Football Live” will be hosted weekly by Michael Lombardi, the team’s general manager, and will feature assistant coaches and players. The show will continue to be broadcast from the Top of the Hill Restaurant & Brewery near the Chapel Hill campus.

This agility lets him concentrate on mentoring without the additional stress of fixed media engagements. Belichick’s choice to restrict his media appearances fits his need for privacy. Belichick has stressed that Hudson is not connected with the football program, but his relationship with 24-year-old Jordon Hudson has drawn much media attention.
