University of North Carolina football coach Bill Belichick is not expected to attend the Tar Heels’ matchup with UConn in the Wasabi Fenway Bowl Saturday, according to ESPN.
Belichick did not attend Fenway Bowl media day on Friday. Interim coach Freddie Kitchens, who will remain on staff when Belichick takes over, will coach the game.
Although he reportedly won’t be there in person, the Belichick buzz around the game persists. It’s his new team playing a bowl game in the state where he spent 24 years as an NFL head coach.
