The Bill Belichick experiment went from bad to worse when the North Carolina Tar Heels were blown out 28-3 by coach Dabo Swinney's Clemson Tigers by halftime and fans left Kenan Stadium in droves. The Week 6 game ended 38-10, but it dropped the Tar Heels to 2-3 for the season.

On Tuesday, "WRAL" analyst Pat Welter released a bombshell report from sources detailing the disarray behind the scenes in Chapel Hill under the charismatic Belichick's leadership.

"It's an unstructured mess," a source said. "There's no culture, no organization. It's a complete disaster. It started with recruits coming in acting entitled to certain things. It was about them individually, not the team. It was about me and what I was going to do."

"The lack of experience the coaches have, it's ridiculous. Bill shuts people out. He's limited in what he says. The disconnect comes from this is not NFL. There are certain ways to operate in the NFL that you can't do in college."

According to the report, some of Bill Belichick's recruits from the transfer portal, including cornerback Thaddeus Dixon and linebacker Khmori House, have received preferential treatment, which has caused divisions in the dressing room with players who opted to stay after Mack Brown was fired.

Despite the results being less than satisfactory, during his postgame news conference, the beleaguered Belichick doubled down on his team's competitiveness.

"The main thing we need to do is to keep doing what we're doing but do them better," Bill Belichick said. "Fundamentally, we're not doing the wrong things, we're just not doing them well enough. It's a lack of concentration and part of that is coaching, too, so I'll take my share of the responsibility.

"The guys who deserve to play are going to play. I'm not going to base it on how old they are or whatever. Guys that play the best deserve to play. We'll see how that goes. My expectations are to come in and have a good week this week and get ready for Cal."

Bill Belichick arrived in Chapel Hill with heightened expectations due to his impressive NFL career, which includes winning six Super Bowls and creating a dynasty with the New England Patriots, but the optimism has quickly flamed out as results have not reflected the hype.
