"USA Today gave out letter grades for each of the first year college football coaches at the FBS level, and Bill Belichick's marks were less than favorable. The six-time Super Bowl championship coach earned a "D" for his first season as head coach at North Carolina. The Tar Heels, who finished 4-8 overall and 2-6 in Atlantic Coast Conference play, are not eligible for postseason bowls."
"No coaches received an "F" grade in the USA Today post. Belichick's "D" was the lowest mark, tied with Sam Houston State's Phil Luongo and Massachusetts's Joe Harasymiak. Sam Houston State went 2-10 and UMass went 0-12. Inside Carolina's Greg Barnes reported that UNC is committed to Belichick for at least one more season. Belichick and school athletic director Bubba Cunningham put out joint statements in October."
USA Today assigned letter grades to first-year FBS head coaches and gave Bill Belichick a "D" for his debut season at North Carolina. The Tar Heels finished 4-8 overall and 2-6 in Atlantic Coast Conference play and were ineligible for postseason bowls. Belichick signed a five-year, $50 million deal and has overseen program backsliding after six consecutive bowl appearances prior to his arrival. The "D" was the lowest grade and was shared with Sam Houston State's Phil Luongo and UMass coach Joe Harasymiak; Sam Houston State went 2-10 and UMass went 0-12. Inside Carolina reported UNC is committed to Belichick for at least one more season, and Belichick and athletic director Bubba Cunningham issued joint statements expressing commitment and support. Belichick previously parted ways with the New England Patriots following a 4-13 season in 2023.
