North Carolina football has been quite disappointing in 2025, as coach Bill Belichick has led the program to a 2-3 start so far with blowout losses in each of its matchups with Power Four opponents.
With speculation stirring about Belichick’s future given his inexperience at the college level paired with a very disappointing start to his first season with the program, Belichick and North Carolina athletic director Bubba Cunningham both expressed their confidence in the direction of the program on Wednesday, Oct. 8.
‘I’m fully committed to UNC Football and the program we’re building here,’ Belichick said in a post from North Carolina on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Bubba Cunningham added: ‘Coach Belichick has the full support of the Department of Athletics and University.’
North Carolina’s program was set for a ‘Hard Knocks’-style docuseries on Hulu, but it was scrapped recently, according to multiple reports. North Carolina was previously set to be the program covered on HBO’s ‘Hard Knocks,’ which also fell through due to reportedly a myriad of different reasons, including the apparent role of Belichick’s girlfriend, 24-year-old Jordon Hudson.
North Carolina is coming off a 38-10 loss to Clemson, which led 28-3 after the first quarter. Power Four opponents have outscored the Tar Heels 120-33 this season.
North Carolina is set to travel to Cal for its first ACC road game on Oct. 17 after its bye week, with more controversy certain to follow the contentious coach throughout the year.
