Bill Belichick catches stray after UNC's latest coaching hire
Bill Belichick can't escape the scrutiny after his 4-8 debut season at North Carolina.
North Carolina coach Bill Belichick caught a stray during a recent segment on Run It Back , when Michelle Beadle, Lou Williams, and Chandler Parsons discussed the hiring of former NBA champion Michael Malone as North Carolina's new basketball coach. The cast was asked if they thought that Malone would be more successful at North Carolina than Belichick. Last season was clearly a disappointment for Belichick's Tar Heels, who went 4-8 in their first season under the former New England Patriots' six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach.
In addition to losing football games, there was also the off-the-field noise emanating from Belichick's relationship with his 25-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. "The logical hiring of Michael Malone out of nowhere to be their new head coach, although he hasn't coached in the college ranks since 2001. But then again, they did hire Bill Belichick with a whopping 4-8 record," said Beadle.
"So, talk to me. He's gotta be better than Belichick, right? Gotta be.
" Both Williams and Parsons agreed that Malone would be more successful at North Carolina than Belichick. To be fair, Malone is 54 years old in comparison to the 73-year-old Belichick. So there's a good chance that he will have more time on his hands to turn things around.
