Bill Belichick won big in the NFL. Can he do it as a rookie college coach at UNC?

More simply, though, it was a bet Belichick could do something he never has before. The 73-year-old with six Super Bowl titles as an NFL head coach is now a college rookie. He’s traded rosters of 30-somethings for recruiting teenagers. (Associated Press)
