Bill Belichick observed North Carolina's biggest chance dissipate into a 28-20 defeat against Clemson. The Tar Heels led 17-6 at half-time, but their defense succumbed to allowing 22 consecutive points thereafter. The loss occurred two days subsequent to a UNC investigation concluding and his son, Steve Belichick, resigning as defensive coordinator.
Reporters inquired about the situation and Bill Belichick's response was unwelcoming. Bill Belichick shut down media after the Clemson collapse. North Carolina dominated the first half at Death Valley, but lost control of defense after halftime. Clemson capitalized on drives totaling 88, 92, 68, and 44 yards, transforming a 17-6 deficit into a 28-20 victory.
Brian Belichick took over defensive play-calling after Steve's departure, yet the secondary failed to halt Clemson's momentum in the second half. When asked about the program's turmoil following the loss, Bill Belichick stated, "I am just focused on the Clemson game run. It just ended 10 minutes ago," according to the postgame press conference.
