Gio Lopez Exits UNC, Blames Belichick’s Coaching

Published May 6, 2026 · Updated May 6, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Gio Lopez has transferred from North Carolina to Wake Forest, citing a toxic coaching environment under Bill Belichick that left him feeling like he was “working” instead of enjoying football.

Lopez, who started 11 games for UNC in 2025, said the program felt like “no air” and that Belichick’s style was more about labor than love. His father, Barney Lopez, added that players were ridiculed for not following instructions exactly, which eroded Gio’s passion for the game. Lopez now looks forward to a fresh start at Wake Forest, hoping for a more supportive atmosphere. playerbros.org
