Finebaum Calls Belichick 4-8 North Carolina Tenure Worst in College Football

3 articles · Updated · Sports Illustrated · Aug 28

Summary

  • ESPN's Paul Finebaum said Bill Belichick is "fighting for his legacy as the worst college football coach of all time" ahead of North Carolina's season opener against TCU.
  • A 4-8 debut season fueled the attack: North Carolina lost five games by double digits and opened Belichick's tenure with a 48-14 blowout loss to TCU.
  • The Dublin rematch now looms as an early test of whether Belichick's second season shows progress, even if the Tar Heels do not beat TCU.
  • Another lopsided loss would deepen doubts about whether the six-time Super Bowl winner's NFL success can translate to college football.
