College football 2024

UNC actually went and hired Belichick

Will certainly be interesting. Can’t wait to talk to my gung-ho Tar Heel buddy tonight.

Just impressed that they managed to replace a guy in his 70s whose best years are behind him with… another one

UNC Football: where retired coaches go before they’re retired for good

I’m bummed, not for him but for my personal bowl game viewing, that Maalik Murphy is transferring (again). That’s one of the non-playoff games I was looking forward to.

Belichick’s style will be a hit with today’s college player, who’s a free agent every year, and with high school parents wanting to put their kids on a good path.

True, but on the other hand, he’s got umpteen ProBowlers/AllPros/and HOF’s who can unofficially help recruit via twitter and phone. His name alone will get him a foot in the door with just about any prospect with NFL dreams. It’s funny that his style, as it was in NE, is about 100% opposite of Mack’s wrt being a ā€œparental figureā€. I’m sure he’s mellowed out, though.

I’d imagine he can bring in some pretty high quality coordinator/positional coaching talent as well, which would be another huge selling point.

Yeah, didn’t a large part of the negotiation with NC revolve around having a player acquisition/retention infrastructure in place so he wouldn’t have to deal with that aspect of college football? I haven’t read the story about the hire, but wasn’t he also trying to set his son up as his successor?

Hey they were trying to get younger, ok? They fired the 73 year old so they could get his 72 year old replacement.

No, but they decided to overlook her SAT scores and let her in.

Are we talking about Notre Dame ā€œgirlfriendsā€?

No, Bill’s actual girlfriend, who is 23 or 24.
