Bill Belichick's time in Chapel Hill has been far from exemplary.
His GM Michael Lombardi exited under a cloud. Son and defensive coordinator Steve Belichick resigned this week among scandalous reports.
That hasn't changed the former New England Patriots coach. He continues to exude a lack of charm.
The latest evidence was Saturday's in-game interview with Stormy Buonantony.
The answers were short and abrupt, after Buonantony was able to get his attention.
The value of these in-game coach interviews has been debated. In Belichick's case, it doesn't matter whether it is a press conference or during the game, he will remain in character.
