Nick Saban Compares Bill Belichick’s First UNC Season to His Rocky Alabama Debut

Saban urged patience with Belichick, comparing UNC’s struggles to his own 7–6 debut season at Alabama. “Every coach needs the opportunity to establish his culture,” Saban said on College GameDay. Recalling his 2007 loss to ULM, Saban said, “Most humiliating loss of my career.” He believes Belichick “missed the first portal window” but insists “they won’t miss it next year.”
