Dave Portnoy on Invoice Belichick at UNC: ‘I Need Him Out of Faculty Soccer’

Underwhelming. Discouraging. Catastrophic.

All three words could accurately describe Bill Belichick’s first season in Chapel Hill as head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels.

The Tar Heels are off to a dismal 2-3 start this season and have managed a total of four touchdowns in three losses to power-conference opponents. They have been outscored 120-33 in those three losses, an average margin of 29 points per game.

Things have gotten so bleak that Belichick and UNC athletic director Bubba Cunningham took to social media earlier this week to reaffirm their commitment to each other — a rare move, prompted by reports and speculation of behind-the-scenes dysfunction within the program.

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy addressed the situation during an #AskDave segment on “Big Noon Kickoff,” responding to the question:

What’s your take on UNC sticking with Belichick?

Portnoy didn’t hold back with his answer.

“I think this experiment will be done. I want Belichick out of college football,” Portnoy said. “He’s my idol. He won me a ton of Super Bowls. [He’s] not a school man.”

Fellow Barstool character Dan “Massive Cat” Katz echoed Portnoy’s sentiment, evaluating Belichick and UNC to a few that “gained’t actually commit” to 1 one other.

“The press launch saying that all the things is sweet …,” Katz stated, “that could be a telltale signal that nothing is sweet.”

Belichick’s Tar Heels are on a bye this weekend earlier than touring to California to tackle the Golden Bears in an ACC conflict on Oct. 17.
