For at least 1 week, Bill Belichick has quieted the noise at UNC — and even cracked a smile

In Ireland. In August. In bad weather. Against an opponent that may turn out to be good but was decidedly awful on Saturday.
Still, forget the caveats and trust your eyes. Was that Bill Belichick cracking a smile after North Carolina's 15-10 win over TCU to begin a season where everyone had already written his coaching obituary?
Nasty on defense, well-prepared for everything TCU wanted to do and clutch in the red zone, particularly in fourth quarter when the Tar Heels needed stops to win the game.
