Mack Brown claims UNC made big change for Bill Belichick

Former North Carolina coach Mack Brown is claiming the Tar Heels made a significant change to accommodate his successor, Bill Belichick.

In an appearance on SiriusXM College Sports on Tuesday, Brown predicted that Belichick will be a success at North Carolina. He noted that the program is giving Belichick ample support and indicated that the school even lowered its academic standards to enable Belichick to land better recruits.

“He’s arguably the best coach over. They’ve committed money to it. They’ve helped him with academics. They’ve lowered those standards some. So there’s absolutely no reason that they shouldn’t be successful,” Brown said of Belichick. “And anymore, they’ve changed the roster. They’ve signed maybe 60-something new transfers. So you’ve got a chance to succeed at the highest level, and I expect him to do that and I’m proud for him.”
