""We'll take a look at the season later," Belichick said when asked what factors made his first year coaching in the collegiate ranks a challenge. "Just finished with the game ten minutes ago, so." The six-time Super Bowl champion head coach also brushed aside a question about what lessons he learned from his opening campaign at Chapel Hill. "Yeah, we just got done with the game, OK?" Belichick said. "So . . . yeah, so we're not gonna do a season recap. I'm just finished with the game here. We'll do a season recap when we get done, you know, alright? I mean, sorry.""
""The dismissive attitude works when a coach is winning," Florio wrote. "When a coach is struggling, it has a much different feel. As I've said time and again about Belichick, if he wants to avoid answering fair and reasonable questions from reporters on a regular basis, he should go coach high-school lacrosse - and be compensated accordingly. "He works for a public institution now.""
Bill Belichick's first year as UNC head coach concluded with a 42-19 loss to NC State, finishing the season 4-8. Belichick declined to provide a season recap immediately after the game, repeatedly stating he had just finished and would review the season later. He answered tersely, saying the team would do a season recap when they got done. Media reaction included criticism from Mike Florio, who called Belichick's dismissive attitude inappropriate for a struggling coach. Florio noted Belichick now represents a public university, earns $10 million per year, and serves as the primary face of the program.
