New North Carolina football coach Bill Belichick was able to take his recruiting message directly to the public Friday evening before the start of the College Football Playoff.
The six-time Super Bowl winning head coach with the Patriots, who bided his time waiting for his next coaching job moonlighting as a contributor for ESPN, joined the “College GameDay” broadcast remotely before No. 10 Indiana met No. 7 Notre Dame in the first of four first-round games.
The Tar Heels coach was asked by former Heisman Trophy winner Desmond Howard what kind of player he was recruiting.
“On the football side, they need to love football,” Belichick said.
