Last Saturday was a big one for trainwreck enthusiasts. Over a seven-hour window you could watch a previously woeful Clemson offense name its score against a six-time Super Bowl champion; a previously winless UCLA team knock off the preseason No. 2 team; and a previously 1-3 team decapitate the preseason Heisman favorite.

Where to begin?

Should North Carolina cut ties with Bill Belichick? I never liked the hire. The university’s Board of Trustees should have never stuck its nose where it didn’t belong. — Kerwin P.

Even the people at UNC who were most excited to land Chapel Bill must surely recognize by now it was a terrible mistake, but man, I have no idea how they could unwind it.

This isn’t the pros, where the owners hold all the power and most of the coaches are considered easily dispensable. If Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones decides he’s done with a coach, he pulls a few million dollars out of the couch cushions on his yacht and moves on to the next guy. It’s a lot more complicated in college, and especially here. UNC is believed to be spending at least $25 million on salaries this year for Belichick and his staff. Who knows how much more on top of that went into increased recruiting budgets, marketing, social media, etc. All that to flush and start over a year later?

And if they do cut ties, well, Belichick’s contract is fully guaranteed for the first three years, so it would cost at least $20 million to fire him. Mike Lombardi, college football’s highest-paid general manager, would have $3 million remaining on his three-year contract. Defensive coordinator Steve Belichick would be owed his remaining $1.4 million, and the other assistants would be owed money as well. So now you’re essentially paying double the cost for one lousy season.

If you’re UNC, you’re hoping Belichick reads the room and voluntarily throws in the towel, which seems highly unlikely for a proud and notoriously stubborn individual. And I can’t imagine an NFL franchise will throw him a lifeline at this point. He’s also tied at the hip to Lombardi, his Patriots buddy, who last week sent a letter to UNC donors laying out their grand rebuilding plan. (He starts the letter talking about former Philadelphia 76ers GM Sam Hinkie’s infamous “Trust the Process” tagline as a means to assure everyone they’re not tanking.) If there’s
