Episode Description

The North Carolina Tar Heels finished year one under head coach Bill Belichick with a disappointing 4-8 record. Offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens and special teams coordinator Mike Priefer were fired in December. The team has a large group of freshmen coming in, but there's a lot of work to be done in the offseason. WRAL Sports investigative reporter Brian Murphy talks about where the program stands after a full season with Bill Belichick, what challenges the team faces and how much patience the university will have for the six-time Super Bowl winning head coach.
