O’Brien believes Belichick’s presence will be transformative in Chapel Hill.

Belichick avoided the rows of radio reporters in the hotel lobby and spent much of the morning in a hallway outside the green room for players and coaches, down the hall from private rooms for interviews with ESPN.com, SiriusXM and the ACC Digital Network.

One thing that Bill Belichick hasn’t done much of since being hired at UNC is speak to the media. There was the opening press conference, the interview with Jones Angell and Adam Lucas, plus the availability he had with the media down in Florida during the ACC Spring Meetings. Beyond that, though, he really hasn’t been speaking much.
