Bill Belichick, North Carolina receive scathing report from insider
Bill Belichick and the North Carolina Tar Heels have suffered through a rough start to the 2025 college football season. After making the leap from the NFL to the college ranks, Belichick was expected to quickly build North Carolina into a contender.
Heading into Friday night’s game against California, the Tar Heels were just 2-3 under Belichick.
All year long, negative reports have come out about Belichick. There have even been loud rumblings that North Carolina could consider moving on from the legendary head coach after just one season.

While it seems much more likely that Belichick will receive at least one more season, things need to improve. He will need to fix a lot of problems that have become very noticeable so far.
With that being said, a new report has been shared about Belichick and the Tar Heels’ football program that are very concerning.
Bruce Feldman of The Athletic made an appearance and shared a scathing report about Belichick and the North Carolina staff.
“It has really been a disastrous start just in terms of, they thought they knew everything, they thought they knew better,” Feldman said. “It’s just been kind of, an interesting window into guys who came from the NFL world, thought they were smarter than everybody else, and the reality is, they didn’t know what they were getting themselves into.”
He also shared that Michael Lombardi, the team’s general manager, is considering changing how the program has been running things.
“Here we are, Bill Belichick’s 73 years old…It’s just been kind of, this crazy faceplant that you see from the Tar Heels from the standpoint, of, just thinking this is the way we’re going to do it, we’re the 33rd NFL team,” Feldman said. “It’s not like they’re going up against Ohio State and Georgia and Oregon and getting drummed, they’re losing to mediocre programs.”
Ahead of the 2025 season, there is no doubt that the Tar Heels were overhyped. Belichick may be one of the best head coaches in NFL history, but he has looked like one of the worst head coaches in college football.

Of course, things can change quickly. Belichick and his staff need to regroup and figure out how to fix things. There is still time to right the ship and get the program back on track.
However, if Belichick and company are unable to do so throughout the remainder of this season and heading into next year, North Carolina may have to consider making a tough decision.

Less than two weeks after losing its head coach to Duke University, a North Carolina high school football program has been promoted from within.
Kevin Reddick will become the new head coach at Rolesville High School, replacing Ranier Rackley, who became the Director of Player Development at Duke University.
News of the decision was first reported by High School OT.
Reddick was the defensive coordinator for the Rams for the past three seasons, helping the team win 25 games during that run. Last year, Rolesville allowed just under 15 points per game with Reddick in charge of the defense.

Rolesville finished 9-4 last season under Rackley and Reddick.
Reddick is a graduate of New Bern High School, helping the Bears capture the 2007 Class 4AA North Carolina High School Athletic Association State Football championship. He was tabbed the most valuable player of that title game as a sophomore fullback after scoring two touchdowns in a 28-17 victory over Independence.
At New Bern, Reddick earned conference defensive player of the year honors and was all-state at lineback as a senior after recording 189 tackles, eight quarterback sacks, six forced fumbles and four blocked punts. He also ran for over 160 yards and scored six touchdowns.
Kevin Reddick Was College Standout, Had NFL Career Before Becoming Coach
Following his high school career, Reddick signed with North Carolina as a four-star prospect, earning first team all-ACC honors as a senior. He also had offers from North Carolina State, Virginia and Clemson.
With the Tar Heels, Reddick played in 50 games, recording 275 tackles, including 36 for loss, with 8.5 quarterback sacks, two interceptions and two forced fumbles.
Reddick signed with the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted rookie free agent, and also had stints with the San Diego Chargers, Carolina Panthers and Buffalo Bills.
Rolesville reached the North Carolina High School Athletic Association State Football championship game with Reddick on the coaching staff and the third round this past season.
Rolesville Returns Top Rusher, Several Other Key Players
The Rams will be replacing starting quarterback Kaleb Williams, who had almost 2,500 yards passing and 22 touchdowns, as freshman Chase Williams was 8-for-8 for 98 yards with a touchdown in three games.
They will have top running back Amir Brown back, as he ran for 1,374 yards with 22 touchdowns and six games of 100 yards rushing as a junior. He also had 13 receptions for 106 yards and another TD.
Anthony Roberts is another key player back, as he caught 35 passes for 656 yards and nine TDs. Top tacklers Jayden Broadie, Javon Campbell, Genesis Allen and Keonte Sutton are all set to return, as well.

At least two people are dead and “several” others are injured after a “planned fight” at a North Carolina park escalated into a mass shooting, authorities said.
Police have identified several victims and suspects after Monday’s shooting at Leinbach Park near Jefferson Middle School, according to the Winston-Salem Police Department.
Authorities confirmed there were multiple victims in the shooting, but did not provide an exact number. The suspects were still at large over two hours later.
Officers were called to the park just before 10 a.m. after reports of a fight, which then escalated into multiple people shooting each other.
Area schools are not in lockdown, and classes are operating as normal, police said.
“Due to the number of people involved, efforts are ongoing to account for everyone. At this time, some of those involved in the incident are juveniles,” police said.
According to local news station WFMY, at least three people were taken to the hospital. Officials have not shared their conditions.
Police said the shooting was an isolated incident and remains under investigation.
