What will the reaction be from the football world and from New England if Bill Belichick departs UNC before the end of his first season?

The Bill Belichick experiment at North Carolina looks like it might be heading toward an early conclusion. The Tar Heels are sitting at 2-3 heading into their Week 7 bye, and Saturday's 38-10 home loss to Clemson only added fuel to an already burning fire in Chapel Hill.

Amid a chaotic week, North Carolina and head coach Bill Belichick released a joint statement Wednesday night, with the Tar Heels saying he has "the full support" of the UNC administration.

One of the greatest strengths Tom Brady had was a very attractive romantic partner who was already a billionaire, allowing him to be paid well under market value to surround himself with Super Bowl-caliber talent. Belichick seems to have learned all the wrong lessons from this.
