Belichick served as the New England Patriots coach from 2000 to 2023. During this stint, he established the franchise as a dynasty with Tom Brady as his starting quarterback. In January 2024, they mutually agreed to part ways before he signed with UNC in December 2024.

The six-time Super Bowl champion kicked off his collegiate debut with a 48-14 loss at the hands of the TCU Horned Frogs. On Saturday, he secured his first win with the team after defeating the Charlotte 49ers at Jerry Richardson Stadium.

They secured a 20-3 victory while quarterback Gio Lopez completed 17 of the 25 passes he attempted for 155 yards and one passing touchdown.

"It's great," Belichick said as per ESPN. "But it's really about the team. It was disappointing Monday night against TCU, but these guys bounced back- players, coaches, staff, support people- and just got back to work. They were deteremined to have a better outcome. I'm really proud of what they did. They deserve the credit for tonight."
