Bill Belichick made his first major change as head coach of North Carolina. The former New England Patriots coach reportedly had a lot to do with the decision for the field at Kenan Stadium to return to natural grass.
The project is expected to take about 12 weeks and 67,000 square feet of sod. The field will also have 36,000 square feet of turf around the perimeter of the field, per ON3.
It didn’t take long for Belichick to start putting his stamp on the program ahead of his scheduled debut against TCU on Monday, September 1. This will represent a new era for both Belichick and a Tar Heels program looking to get back to their winning ways.
Some wondered if Belichick would forgo college football and return to one of the head coaching openings in the NFL. However, the legendary coach appears to be locked in on his latest venture.
We’ll see if his NFL success translates to the collegiate level.
