Bill Belichick's North Carolina introduction as new head coach is marred by bizarre chant
Share:
As Bill Belichick began to address North Carolina fans at the Dean Smith Center, he was met with a bizarre chant, shouting out a rival NFL team from his professional coaching career, the Eagles. To be seen as much as possible in Chapel Hill, or Chapel Bill these days, Belichick spoke at halftime of the Tar Heel's men's basketball game against La Salle.

Moments into Belichick addressing the crowd, he was drowned out by a familiar chant to sports fans, but maybe not to college basketball aficionados. 'E-A-G-L-E-S! EAGLES!,' fans from seemingly La Salle, which is in Philadelphia, said. Belichick was only the head coach of two AFC teams who rarely played the Eagles, with an exception being the 2018 Super Bowl, where Philadelphia defeated New England.
Yet, taking the chance to shout out their favorite team in front of Belichick was an opportunity Explorers' fans did not waste. Bill Belichick spoke to UNC fans at a men's basketball game on Saturday in Chapel Hill. During the new head coach's speech, fans can be heard shouting out the Philadelphia Eagles.
