BREAKING Bill Belichick to become UNC coach

[81usaf92]

QB coach?

it was a joke. I doubt either would ever want to do a work together on the field again. Even during the roast you could tell there was a lot of stuff going on still between the two.

plus I think Brady would be more of the support “my kids’s school” or support Michigan guy.

I guess I forgot my blue font.

I can see Belichick sitting there going, hey, I've got all this free cash, how does this recruiting thing work?

 

[BamaBoySince89]

very interested to see who his coordinators and assistant coaches will be

Most likely his usual cast of characters (Patricia, his son, J. McDaniels). Hopefully he gets a few guys that can recruit well.

UNC’s program has had several really good coaches lead their program with little to show for it. The problem is as much with UNC as CBB

Can someone tell North Carolina to stop Head Coach shopping at Cracker Barrel !!

is Belly-check younger than Mack?

 

[TideRollsInPa]

A bit surprising but maybe he is trying to set up his son as HC in waiting.

And that academic stuff is gonna have to be limited.

NC has proven that they can and will accommodate him in that regard.

 

[BamaInBham]

This is going to be Urban Meyer to the Jaguars, only in reverse.

He may completely wreck his reputation as a genius in less than one season.

It has already been greatly diminished but he could suffer even more damage.

CBB at UNC is like getting a super fine 10 course meal with oysters, wine, fish, and key lime pie, at Waffle House!!!!!

Man you know wine doesn't go with oysters, it's Budweiser all day!

Rees would have made more sense.

 

[Tidewater]

Inconceviable.

UNC makes weird decisions when it comes to football. They consistently make splashy hires of coaches that have passed their prime. Butch Davis, Mack Brown (the 2nd time) and now Belichick. It's a strange pattern. I know NC isn't a hot bed of football talent, but they could, and should, be extremely competitive in the ACC, yet they never are.

Didn’t Butch Davis do 2 stints as well?

Don't be shocked if Bellicheck doesn't lean on Saban for some assistant hires. He will want some people on staff with quality experience from the college game. Bellicheck is far from dumb and knows better than to hire an all NFL staff. Don't be shocked if Jeremy Pruitt's name doesn't pop us in the mix.

Is Bill just bored and needs something to do? Go home, watch some tv, enjoy retirement dude.

One could only hope he's had a conversation with Saban at some point about the buzzsaw (NIL) he's about to run into.

 

[UAinAthens]

The funny thing is that CBB wasn't known for paying players well in the NFL. Now he's going to be dealing with NIL, where pay isn't required, its just how you improve your talent. Is he going to come in thinking, I can take limited talent (read scholarship only) and win?

He won in NE because he had Brady, who was able to elevate the slightly above average (read cheap) players around him on offence. His defenses were always complex and smart, but I believe one of the reasons Saban retired is because of the transfer portal, you couldn't develop the players into that complex defense and he saw where things were headed.

If that is the case, and Saban didn't think it was sustainable, I don't think Bill is going to have any more success.
