Yet, prior to Saturday's matchups against the 1-3 Clemson Tigers, Belichick treated college football fans to a spectacle live from the sideline of Chapel Hill. During a segment of ESPN's College Gameday, Belichick shared praise for legendary coach Nick Saban and reflected on their time together, when they were members of the Cleveland Browns' coaching staff from 1991 to 1994. “Well, I learned an awful lot from Coach Saban. “So, it was a great experience watching Nick handle the free agents and recruit and build a program at Alabama. Amid Saban's brief two-year tenure as the Miami Dolphins' head coach, his teams bested Belichick's Patriots twice, with a record of 2-2 overall.
