Were you waiting for a hoodwinked boyfriend to show up at ACC media days? Nothing to see here. Bill Belichick is just North Carolina's football coach.

“It’s a pro program,” Belichick said. “Practice, training, food, schemes, terminology, it’s all a pro program. Not to the extent that we did it in the NFL — there will be fewer plays, fewer adjustments — but it will be along those lines.”

The only missing touches were walk-up music — think Springsteen or Bon Jovi — followed by tuxedoed ring announcer Michael Buffer commanding the packed house: “LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE!”

Expectations are understandably high for the Tar Heels—Belichick has so many Super Bowl rings he needs both hands to wear them. But it’s not just football fans who are holding North Carolina to a high standard this year.

Despite his six Super Bowl rings as New England Patriots head coach, Bill Belichick said he is "learning" from another college coaching great as he shifts in his career, taking a few pages from two-time College Football Playoff national champion Dabo Swinney of Clemson.

Lopez emerged as a dynamic dual-threat option for South Alabama last season. He ended the year with 2,559 yards and 18 touchdowns against just five interceptions while completing 66% of his passes. He also ran for 465 yards and seven touchdowns on 5.6 yards per carry.
