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.

SAN ANTONIO – Two San Antonio-based Army Commands are expected to move to Fort Bragg in North Carolina, according to a media report.

General Randy George, the Army’s chief of staff, announced on Tuesday that Fort Sam Houston will no longer house Army North and Army South, Breaking Defense reported. They will merge with Forces Command (FORSCOM) to create the Western Hemisphere Command.

The San Antonio mayor’s office confirmed to KSAT on Thursday that the consolidated headquarters will relocate to North Carolina.

The change is expected to happen in the next six to eight weeks, Breaking Defense reported.

KSAT reached out to San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones to ask about the potential impact on Military City USA.

“As Army leaders shared with us earlier this summer, they are taking steps to achieve efficiencies to accomplish their mission,” Jones said in a statement to KSAT. “While I am disappointed to hear the consolidated headquarters will relocate to North Carolina, Army leaders this summer indicated even this outcome could yield a minimal impact to the overall Army footprint at JBSA.”

Jones said they are waiting for details on the number of personnel who will be relocated from San Antonio.

“San Antonio is unmatched in our ability to host military missions and families, and we look forward to working with the Department of War and Department of the Army to identify additional missions San Antonio may be able to host,” she said.

The merger is part of the U.S. Army’s initiative to slim down headquarters and four-star general officer billets.

George called the move efficient, citing that the new command would be “focused on homeland defense and partnerships with Western Hemisphere allies,” Breaking Defense reported.

Some elements of command operations may remain in San Antonio, the report stated.

KSAT reached out to Fort Sam Houston and Army Public Affairs for comment. Due to the government shutdown, officials were unavailable for comment.
