Michael Jordan on hand at Bill Belichick's UNC coaching debut - ESPN

First-year North Carolina Tar Heels head coach Bill Belichick made his coaching debut in the college ranks against the TCU Horned Frogs.

Last December, the six-time Super Bowl-winning coach agreed to a five-year deal with North Carolina, almost a year after parting ways with the New England Patriots.

But for Belichick, 72, coaching college football marked a new era in his nearly five-decade coaching career where he's only coached professionally.

And the Chapel Hill community along with some of his former NFL players and celebrities rallied around Belichick in his college coaching debut.

Here are some sights and sounds from the legendary NFL coach's debut with North Carolina.
