Special: The Belichick Model in Chapel Hill with Richard Johnson

If you’re a college football junkie, you’re likely familiar with Richard Johnson’s work with CBS Sports and the SplitZoneDuo podcast/substack. Like most in the national media, Richard has been wholly fascinated by Bill Belichick’s hire at UNC. He joins Joey Powell to discuss what the Belichick model and culture might look like and how it might work in Chapel Hill. 

You can see Richard and the Split Zone Duo crew in-person, along with other Sports Podcasts at the Sports Podcast Festival in Raleigh on Aug. 23 at the Rialto Theatre. Click here and use Promo Code SZD for 25% off your ticket!
