NFL legend Bill Belichick came to the University of North Carolina for that classic regional warmth. Well, during the team’s first week of practice, he has gotten none of it, and he’s not happy.
“Long way to go, but it’s good to be underway. The weather’s been very cool. We need some heat. Need some training weather. Hopefully, that will be coming soon. I’ve heard a lot about this hot North Carolina weather,” Belichick said with his classic smirk to open his first in-season UNC press conference.

Typically, the weather in North Carolina in August is in the mid to upper 80s. However, during UNC’s practice on Wednesday, the high in Chapel Hill was 70. With lows in the mid to upper 60s. Today’s temperature will peak in the mid-70s. However, Belichick will get that classic Carolina heat he wants next week.
Bill Belichick’s record: 302-165
It is pretty funny that a man who coached the New England Patriots for 24 seasons would have any issues with cold. Since the Pats play in some of the coldest temperatures in the league during the season. However, it must be noted that the legendary coach is 76 years old.
Many of us have grandparents who head south later in life to live in warmer temperatures because their geriatric bones are no longer built for cold weather. Belichick is known for wearing just hoodies, even with the sleeves cut off, during some frigid games in New England during his illustrious career. But it seems that the cold is finally getting into his bones, and he needs that southern warmth more than ever.
