## Resource

North Carolina football’s 2026 season hinges on a coaching staff under fire — and under pressure. After a brutal 4-win campaign last year, the Tar Heels need a complete turnaround, starting with Belichick’s new assistants. On defense, Steve Belichick and Jamie Collins must rebuild a linebacker corps from scratch while injecting discipline. Offensively, Matt Lombardi faces the daunting task of choosing a QB from three contenders — including a freshman — while Will Friend must fix a penalty-plagued line. This is their moment to prove they can turn chaos into championship-caliber football.
