North Carolina's new head coach, Bill Belichick, is implementing his NFL coaching philosophy at the collegiate level. He aims to run the Tar Heels program like a professional team, focusing on practice, training, and schemes similar to his NFL experience. While acknowledging differences in NCAA rules like hashmarks and overtime formats, Belichick intends to maintain a largely pro-style system, adapting only where necessary due to college-specific regulations.
