  • Dabo Swinney and Bill Belichick will meet on Saturday as Clemson faces North Carolina in Chapel Hill in an ACC football clash.
  • The matchup follows Clemson's worst 1-3 start under Swinney and UNC's hiring of Belichick, a six-time Super Bowl winner aiming to reset ACC balance.
  • Both programs are struggling through disappointing seasons, with Clemson soul-searching after recent losses and UNC suffering blowout defeats by Big 12 teams.
  • Swinney described the situation as a coaching failure and said, "It's time for the Tigers to see what we're made of," while acknowledging Belichick's passion and experience.
