Summary

As the North Carolina Tar Heels stand at a 2-0 record, a significant coaching change has occurred within the program. Defensive coordinator Steve Belichick, son of NFL coach Bill Belichick, resigned from his position on Thursday. He had been on medical leave since early August.
This departure comes just before the Tar Heels' ACC opener against Clemson. Analyst Steve Godfrey commented that this move was anticipated, suggesting it signifies a broader expected transition for the coaching staff and Bill Belichick. Brian Belichick, Steve's younger brother, will now serve as the defensive play-caller. He previously held this role during UNC's victories over TCU and ETSU, during which the defense saw notable improvement.
