The Concept of ‘Stacking Days’ for Bill Belichick, Tar Heels

One term that Head Coach Bill Belichick likes to use is "stacking days," an idea that emphasizes the continuous progress and improvement that have been made. And so far, the progress has been, well, small... but there have only been two games, of course.

When UNC faced Charlotte on the road, ultimately capturing Belichick's first college win, it looked a lot better; however, the team was playing an inferior opponent and managed to put up just 20 points.

If the team hosting was any other school, for example, Appalachian State, then UNC's chances of losing and starting the season out 0-2 were quite high because multiple times throughout the contest its performance was sloppy.

Each Game Is an Opportunity for UNC To Keep on Stacking

For UNC, in a year with a big-time head coach who has won eight total Super Bowl rings, the stakes are much higher than last season's, without a doubt.

Although considering many factors from the roster having 70 new players, a coaching staff that is still learning how to mesh and a quarterback that transferred in from the Sun Belt Conference (where the competition is a lot different than what is on UNC's schedule), it makes sense why its record is not 2-0. Hence, Belichick's term of "stacking days."

Richmond is the next opportunity, then UCF on the road and following that, Clemson at home, plus California on the West Coast.

The Tar Heels have a lot of chances to settle into a groove, one that allows them to make tweaks to what is not working. Whether it's the run blocking, not missing any tackles on defense (a huge concern so far), or the play-calling by the Offensive Coordinator Freddie Kitchens and Defensive Coordinator Steve Belichick.
