It appears that Bill Belichick’s tenure as the head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels won’t even last a full season.

After one year out of football, Bill Belichick was hired as the new head coach of the Tar Heels football team last year. Belichick worked various analyst roles in 2024 after his departure from the New England Patriots.

Saturday’s 38-10 loss to the Clemson Tigers dropped UNC to 2-3 on the season. All three of the Tar Heels’ losses have been by 24-plus points, with their two wins coming against the 3-3 Richmond Spiders and 1-4 Charlotte 49ers.

Now, the legendary head coach and the Tar Heels appear ready to end their tumultuous working relationship mutually, 10 months after signing a contract reportedly worth five years, according to ESPN.

According to a report from Ollie Connolly of The Guardian, the Tar Heels “hierarchy” and Belichick have had conversations about buyout options. Connolly added that Belichick has indicated “a willingness to trigger his own $1 million buyout if he can find a soft landing with another team or in media.”

In a lengthy X/Twitter thread, Connolly explained other issues surrounding involving the football team. Among them:

Some coaches have talked to other elite programs about coming aboard, with an assistant coach saying “What we’ve done to these kids is f**ked up.”

Bill Belichick & UNC May As Well Cut Their Losses ASAP

Widely regarded as the greatest head coach in NFL history, it seemed like a wise idea at the time for the Tar Heels to hire Belichick to fix their football program. But it’s clearly not working at Chapel Hill, and the best bet at this point is for the two sides to cut their losses and part ways ASAP.

His high-profile relationship with Jordon Hudson has generated numerous plenty of backlash, with many believing she’s become a distraction. Belichick is 49 years older than Hudson and has made plenty more public appearances with her, whereas he was mainly private outside of football during his time with the Patriots.

At any rate, Belichick and the Tar Heels seem to agree that this isn’t working out, and that there’s little reason to believe it’ll turn around.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
