Bill Belichick Fires 2 of His UNC Assistant Coaches After Disappointing Season — Is His Job Safe?
Bill Belichick has fired two of his assistant coaches with the North Carolina Tar Heels after his disappointing first season leading the team. ESPN was first to report on Friday, Dec. 12 that offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens and special teams coordinator Mike Priefer have been relieved from their roles with UNC Football.
Belichick inherited Kitchens, as the former Browns coach had been at UNC since 2023. With the Tar Heels, he had served as tight ends coach and run game coordinator (2023-24), interim coach after Mack Brown’s firing (2024) and then offensive coordinator under Belichick this season.
