This opinion piece argues that the ongoing turmoil around North Carolina football is being framed the wrong way. Rather than making Bill Belichick the main target, the column suggests he was simply an available coach who took a job when the university came calling.
The sharper criticism is aimed at UNC leadership. In that view, the people who approved such a high-profile move are the ones who should answer for the fallout, because the risks and potential dysfunction were there from the beginning.
The article presents the situation as less of a shocking collapse and more of a foreseeable outcome. If a school makes a bold, unconventional hire under difficult circumstances, the piece argues, it should not be surprised when the arrangement turns into a prolonged headache.
At its core, the commentary says the North Carolina football mess is an institutional failure more than a coaching story. Belichick may be the most recognizable name involved, but the opinion contends the university decision-makers created the conditions for the disaster.
