Dabo Swinney and the Clemson Tigers will welcome Bill Belichick and the North Carolina Tar Heels for an ACC matchup at Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Swinney and Belichick combine for decades of coaching experience, and the two veteran leaders clearly share a great deal of mutual respect. "Coach Belichick is — I mean, he's Bill Belichick.
This guy's a great football coach. He's probably the best to ever do it," Swinney said when speaking with reporters on Tuesday. "He won at the highest level over and over and over. ...
It's an honor to even coach against him, honestly. I still can't even really believe Bill Belichick is at North Carolina." Belichick previously shared his respect for Swinney during a press conference on Monday. "I think Dabo does a great job building a program, caring for his players," Belichick said.
"I think he’s one of the guys who cares about the game, cares about his players and cares about doing the right thing.” UNC is 2-0 to begin the year with wins over TCU and East Tennessee State. Clemson bounced back with a win over Georgia Southern after its season-opening loss to LSU. Saturday's game will kick off at noon ET.
