Bill Belichick to make primetime debut

With the unveiling of the opening weekend ACC football schedule we now know when we’ll get the first look at North Carolina under the direction of coaching legend Bill Belichick. He will be in primetime on a Monday night.

North Carolina is set to take on TCU, hosting the Horned Frogs at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN. It will be a hotly anticipated debut.

Belichick was the shock of the coaching carousel cycle this season. At first, reports emerged that he might be interested in the job, but they were met by heavy skepticism by most in the industry. Then they became more concrete.

Now, North Carolina will be captained by one of the winningest coaches in football history. It promises to be thoroughly entertaining, one way or another.
