First-year North Carolina football coach Bill Belichick will appear on the opening installment of the traditional weekly coach's radio show, but that's it.

Formerly known as 'Mack Brown Live,' the show has been renamed 'Carolina Football Live' and will continue to be aired weekly from a restaurant and brewery near the North Carolina campus in Chapel Hill, the university said in a news release.

Belichick will take the coach's seat for the first show of the season, set for Aug. 27 ahead of the season opener against TCU. After that, the show will air on Mondays and look at the Tar Heels' game the past weekend and the one the weekend ahead.

North Carolina general manager Michael Lombardi will be the headliner each week, joined by assistant coaches and players. Belichick will sit alongside Lombardi for the first edition. Jones Angell, the radio play-by-play announcer for the Tar Heels, hosts the one-hour show.

While appearing on a weekly radio show is a contract requirement for many college football coaches, it is not in the case of Belichick. His contract stipulates only that he make appearances 'as reasonably requested by the University.'

Belichick, 73, has not been a head coach of a college program before this season. He led the New England Patriots to six Super Bowl championships from 2000-23.

North Carolina and TCU meet Sept. 1 in Chapel Hill. There is great anticipation for Belichick's first season, with all tickets to home games sold out.
