Good hire. Seems like he's done his homework on what it takes to be successful in the college game.

Bill going back to college, back in the game

Seems like an odd choice for him. In looking
Over potential nfl openings guess he didn’t think he’d land one of them?

Bill was gonna bring his cronies with him, several NFL teams didn’t want that apparently and who can blame them.

BB is set in his ways now. Not interested in working with new people.

in this world of transfer portal and NIL, it should be an easier transition.
He knows how to be a CEO of a program of professional athletes, and that is what student athletes are now

There have been a fair bit of rumbling that teams weren't actually into hiring Belichick. Media was driving the idea of Belichick being a top candidate.

That's a fair point but the transfer portal also makes for a lot more work to then they use to do. They have to recruit transfer players and talk they're own players into staying to go along with all the high school recruiting. I'm surprised he wants to take that on at his age but I'd imagine he'll delegate a lot of that work.

Belichick got a taste and now he wants to be around the coeds.

 

[Terry Yake]

really thought he'd hold out for the nfl just so he could break shula's record. i guess teams just aren't willing to give him the unlimited power he wants

Will be interesting at least at UNC.

Plus his useless cronies will be around, whom have given several NFL teams bad tastes in their mouth.

he'll delegate for sure.
college atheltics is no longer really about going into living rooms with these kids and giving them the "i'll coach your boy into a man over the next 4 years" and all that mumbo jumbo.

most of these kids fathers grew up during his dynasty and when the money from school-to-school is close between programs, bill and his sb rings and his pitch that he knows how to get kids on the NFL path because he is one of the greatest ball coaches ever will helo give UNC the edge for a couple years until it ether works out or the novelty wears off

5 year deal for Bill?

He's going to personally oversee the recruiting visits to the sorority houses.

Well, have to at least show the recruiting class the HC has some term. Not like he's going to get poached by the bigger power schools.

See how he fares.

I guess UNC just wanted to go with someone younger than Mack Brown

And Bill wants a girlfriend younger than his current 24 year old.
