When North Carolina and UCF meet Saturday afternoon in Orlando, Fla., it will be a reunion for head coaches Bill Belichick and Scott Frost.Frost was a player with the New York Jets in the late 1990s. At the time, Belichick was the defensive coordinator.The two talked about that familiarity with each other earlier this week.”Yeah, I was with Bill for two years. You know, I can’t say enough about how intelligent he is, and how much football he knows,” said Frost, now the coach coach at UCF. “And that was before he went on a run as a head coach. So a tremendous amount of respect for what he’s accomplished in the game.”Belichick, best known for being at the helm of the New England Patriots’ dynasty, is in his first year with the Tar Heels and respects Frost’s team.”I know Scott does a good job down there, but we’ll have to gear up for what they do, and they’ve got a lot of skilled athletes,” Belichick said. “They get the ball in space, and defensively, they got some explosive guys we’re going to have to handle.”The Knights (2-0) and Tar Heels (2-1) have both won two in a row, and something will have to give in this Big 12-ACC showdown.Frost, in his second stint with UCF, has won 15 consecutive games as the Knights’ head coach going back to the unbeaten 2017 season.
