Urban Meyer takes shot at Bill Belichick and North Carolina

Issues aren’t going nice for Bill Belichick and the North Carolina Tar Heels. 

That was all the time a risk, as a result of Belichick has by no means been a school soccer coach earlier than, however this 2-2 begin has been brutal for the Tar Heels. They’re coming off a 34-9 loss to UCF, and in Week 1 they had been outmatched by TCU, 48-14.

In truth, the one two wins Belichick has picked up to this point are towards Charlotte of the American Convention and FCS Richmond.

Belichick’s begin has not impressed confidence to this point, but it surely’s not simply the wins and losses. In keeping with legendary college football head coach Urban Meyer, the product on the sector is simply plain dangerous.

“I watched their videotape or some tape on it. They’re worse on tape than I believed they might be,” Meyer stated on a latest episode of “The Triple Choice” podcast (h/t On3). I’m not saying simply — as a result of you may say, ‘We’ve got actually dangerous gamers.’ Okay, you introduced in 70 new folks.”

Meyer’s level is that although Belichick is in his first yr with this system, the NIL and switch portal period has allowed the previous NFL head coach to mainly create the sort of roster he wished from the get-go.

That is not even contemplating the truth that he introduced in former NFL scout and govt Michael Lombardi to assist him construct the group. 

Belichick had a chance to construct North Carolina his means 

Belichick and Lombardi introduced in 42 gamers by way of the switch portal and had a switch class that was ranked No. 8 in the nation, in accordance with 247Sports, so it is not like they began this season with a naked cabinet. 

The Tar Heels should begin beating some official opponents to ensure that Belichick to construct any confidence in his program. That is doable, after all. Talking of cabinets, this can be a coach who has a number of Lombardi Trophies in his.

In the end, although, Meyer, for one, would not appear assured that this may work out for Belichick or the Tar Heels. Proper now, it is a mess on each side of the ball.

“However I’m seeing issues. Simply misfits on protection,” Meyer defined. “Which implies as a linebacker takes on a block, he’s speculated to ship that to the unblocked security. So, if the security’s inside, I’m taking up the blocker with my inside shoulder to drive it to him. It’s not occurring. Then, on the offensive aspect, it’s a trainwreck. So, I don’t know. I don’t assume it ends effectively. Hate to say that.”
