Bill Belichick’s Tar Heels continue to stack up more controversies than wins.

On the heels of Saturday’s 38-10 blowout loss to Clemson, a parent of a current UNC football player has accused the eight-time Super Bowl winner of fostering a “toxic environment,” according to a damning report published Monday by the local WRAL News.

“It’s all starting at the top, and the boys are being affected,” the parent told WRAL sports anchor Pat Welter.

“I don’t fault the players; I fault the leadership that created this toxic environment. There’s an individualistic mindset. The boys are young, and they are feeding into it.”

Welter detailed conversations with sources close to the program, who alleged the team’s poor 2-3 start is the “product of a divided locker room, a disorganized coaching staff and a failure to communicate.”

A splinter in the locker room “organically formed” between the transfers and those recruited by the previous regime led by Mack Brown, whom Belichick took over for in December 2024.

“It started with recruits coming in acting entitled to certain things,” a source told the outlet. “It was about them individually, not the team. It was about me and what I was going to do.”

Cracks forged elsewhere due to the alleged lack of communication between parents and players.

“There’s been no communication with coaches and parents, period,” one parent of a UNC player claimed. “None, zero, zilch. Not one email from a coach, one text, phone call, nothing.”

Although Belichick, 73, came with an NFL pedigree, some parents and players found that other personnel were not up to par, with a source stating, “The lack of experience the coaches have, it’s ridiculous.”

Belichick’s sons Brian and Steve are on the staff as the defensive back/safeties coach and defensive coordinator, respectively. Steve, who held the same position at Washington, has not earned high praise.

“He has not talked or had a conversation with most of the guys on defense,” a source claimed.

It’s been a season to forget for Belichick, whose personal life with 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson continues to dominate headlines over UNC’s play.

North Carolina suffered its third 25-plus-point loss Saturday, tied for the most of any FBS program.

The “33rd NFL Team,” as Belichick described them, got crushed on their home field, with fans darting for the Kenan Stadium exits at halftime.

UNC returns to action Oct. 17 with a road trip at Cal.
