UNC defensive coordinator Steve Belichick out for TCU game in Ireland

The University of North Carolina football team will compete against TCU on Saturday in Dublin without defensive coordinator Steve Belichick, who remains on medical leave. Belichick has not traveled with the team since early August, and his absence is significant as the program aims to improve upon last season's 4-8 record. Bill Belichick and defensive line coach Bob Diaco have collaborated on defensive preparation, with Bill expected to make play-calling decisions during the game. The Tar Heels face a strong TCU opponent, highlighting the challenges ahead for the team this season.
