North Carolina Has an Out to Terminate Bill Belichick as Head Football Coach – Player Misconduct

Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans.

North Carolina doesn’t really have a choice anymore – it’s time for the Tar Heels Athletic Director to fire Bill Belichick.  He is a complete embarrassment to North Carolina, the ACC, and college football.

We’ve talked about how tone deaf Bill Belichick really is.

We advocated for Bill Belichick to be fired last season.

Now comes the news that North Carolina really has doesn’t have institutional control over its football program.

“The football team’s behavior is undercutting decades of efforts by Carolina coaches and athletes to build a national reputation for integrity, the Carolina Way,” one professor wrote. https://t.co/7v56u0oUxu

Check this out:

A University of North Carolina football player has been cited at least four times for speeding, including two reckless driving charges, since arriving on campus in January.

Another player has been cited three times — including once on allegations of driving over 100 mph — since February. And his car has been photographed in on-campus parking spots marked for people with disabilities.

They’re among at least five transfers or key players that UNC highlighted as having re-signed with the program who have been cited for speeding since January — which comes just months after coach Bill Belichick said he had addressed off-the-field issues and players and parents complained about the program’s culture in Belichick’s first season.

Also, Bill Belichick has 40 new players this year.  That’s insane.  Who has to bring in 40 new players in a 2nd year when you supposedly had retooled the roster during the prior year?  That tells me that all his players hate his guts.

But here’s the deal:  The North Carolina administration now has an out – they can fire Bill Belichick tomorrow basically over the lack of control over his football team.  If his players are driving aggressively on campus – get tickets – and parking in handicapped spots – they can fire him tomorrow.  I would argue if enough of this piles up – they also don’t have to pay the buyout.   North Carolina just has to track enough of this misconduct – and Bill Belichick  is out without a dime.  If you want to be nice, offer Bill Belichick a one million dollar buyout.  Get the attorneys involved early.
