The TCU Horned Frogs were quickly down 7-0 Sunday night after the North Carolina Tar Heels drove down and scored on its opening drive. And, that was about it for Bill Belichick's debut as head coach. Sonny Dykes' offense rattled off 48 points and strolled to a 48-14 win to start the year 1-0.
But, somehow this wasn't nearly as big of a dub as what TCU football's Twitter account did after the game was over.
Several people were talking about how the Tar Heels would be hell with the former Super Bowl-winning coach at the helm. Alas, we all found out together on Sunday at least against TCU, this would not be the case.

The "Unnecessary Roughness" account poked fun at some TCU football players being silly on TikTok. The players were seen running routes with exaggerated route running body language and dancing while a coach pretends to coach. TCU got the last laugh.

With the ever-so-popular Vince McMahon build-up meme, the Reddit Twitter account posted a tweet in anticipation of Belichick's debut. The Horned Frogs Twitter account was quick to clapback.

The web site noted for posting sports news "without fear, favor or compromise" might think twice next time it comes after the TCU football program.

After going back-and-forth on whether or not the show would actually happen, the North Carolina football program agreed to go through with it. Now, Belichick and the Tar Heels might regret it because the Week 1 episode is going to be one to forget.
when does episode one come out? https://t.co/ZOp6lUwgKF

Everyone's favorite talking head was quick to crown North Carolina before the game even started just because of some famous athletes in attendance. Bayless is a volume shooter so he will definitely just keep the ball moving on Tuesday, but the guy just doesn't know when to quit sometimes.

After Arch Manning struggled in Week 1 versus Ohio State, this random poster thought maybe because Matt Patricia had a ton of success against Texas, his former boss would be able to follow suit Monday against Hoover and Kendal Briles' offense. Thought wrong.

The national talking head was a bit much with this one. He went as far as to say Belichick might be the second coming of Nick Saban – calling him "best college coach I’ve ever seen, just below Saban". Naturally, TCU was quick with the keys to silence the sports media personality with a goofy pic of Dykes.

Cowherd made this one, too. Then Stephen A. Smith. Split Zone Duo's Richard Johnson wasn't safe. And Rece Davis even put his foot in his mouth on this one. Then, Dykes made quite the statement in a team meeting – claiming it's a "player's game" and TCU would win because it has great players.
He was right.

One final parting shot from the superstars at TCU twitter – taking a shot at North Carolina legend and NFL Hall of Famer, Lawrence Taylor.
