Bill Belichick's NFL head-coaching debut was a game he'd like to forget.

Belichick's Cleveland Browns were outgunned by Jimmy Johnson's Dallas Cowboys 26-14 in their Week 1 matchup back in 1991. Dallas went 11-5 and made it to the NFC divisional round, while Cleveland won just six games that season.

So moments before making his college football head-coaching debut with North Carolina, Belichick told ESPN's Holly Rowe he hoped his Tar Heels didn't suffer the same fate that his Browns did that night.

"I hope it goes a lot better than the game against Dallas and Jimmy Johnson," Belichick stated . "They crushed us, so I hope it goes better than that."

Spoiler alert: it wasn't better, it was worse.
