Bill Belichick's 1st college team struggled at UNC. He's hoping lessons learned lead to more success

North Carolina coach Bill Belichick is hoping his Tar Heels benefit from lessons learned and more stability from his first college season. The Tar Heels won just four games under the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach. Belichick said Friday during the Atlantic Coast Conference's preseason football media days that “every week is a learning experience for me" in trying to improve the program. Belichick noted the Tar Heels were “literally starting from scratch” last year but are "above that now for sure' with holdovers from last year and more new players arriving in time for spring practices.
