Molly Qerim and Stephen A. Smith got into a heated conversation on ESPN’s ‘First Take’ program while discussing Bill Belichick and the North Carolina Tar Heels.

On Thursday, the Tar Heels officially welcomed and introduced Belichick as their new head coach, just a few weeks after the legendary Mack Brown was fired. And let’s just say that Stephen A. Smith isn’t buying the idea of Belichick reviving the struggling football program.

Qerim said that Belichick going to UNC is “appointment viewing”, comparing it to Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders and his success with the Colorado Buffaloes. Smith told Qerim he “respectfully” doesn’t “care” and that people will stop paying attention to the Belichick-coached Tar Heels after one year.

That’s where Molly Qerim teed off on the polarizing ESPN personality:

“Let me finish my point. You don’t care about smell markets. For you it’s always box office. You’re a New Yorker that’s an Alabama fan, it’s just not sexy enough for you. But you’re seeing it through your lens, and not through all football fans’ (lens). I know you don’t care about my opinion, but other people (do).”

During Qerim’s take, Stephen A. Smith told her she doesn’t have “a license to misrepresent” him. He said that he watches Alabama, Kentucky and North Carolina, noting that they’re not giant markets.

Belichick was employed by an NFL team every year from 1975 to 2014, beginning with the NFL’s Baltimore Colts. After being let go by the New England Patriots last January, Belichick interviewed for the Atlanta Falcons’ HC vacancy but was passed over in favor of Raheem Morris.

Belichick has never once coached at the collegiate level, and Stephen A. Smith obviously doesn’t think he’s cut out for it. His contract with the Tar Heels is a five-year deal, though the last two seasons of the pact aren’t guaranteed.

Stephen A. Smith Is Close To Signing New Nine-Figure Deal With ESPN

It was recently reported by Andrew Marchand of The Athletic that the veteran ESPN personality is close to signing a lucrative long-term contract extension with the Worldwide Leader in Sports. Smith’s next deal is reportedly going to be a six-year pact worth around $120 million, which is essentially MLB superstar or elite NFL wide receiver money.

Everyone was begging Travis Hunter to dump his girlfriend after she revealed having initially ignored him at first because he wasn’t her type.

The Colorado star is in a serious relationship with Leanna Lenee, who went viral after she appeared to be pissed at him after his Senior Day win over Oklahoma State. They recently went on stream together, and Travis would reveal shooting his shot via Instagram.

Leanna revealed that the player didn’t tickle her fancy as he wasn’t her type, so she left him with the crickets. Of course, he got through eventually.

She also admitted that she has the proclivity to blow up when things don’t go her way.
