Next Head Football Coach

According to adam shefter unc met with belichick for 5 hours yesterday. If unc does hire belichick I think the portal will explode with kids wanting to come here. NIL funding will sky rocket and the instant notoriety for the program would be huge. I don’t know how that would translate to success on the field but I’m all in to find out.
Belichick: "Let me put it in capital letters: IF I were at a college program... it would be an NFL program at the college level."
Ok so if the possible hold up is the coach in waiting thing which has been rumored to be his son what do we know about him? I admit I’ve not done any research on him just figured he’s a lot like his father.
Just to throw a monkey wrench into everything why not go after nick saban and do a coach in waiting as well. Just not sure who that would be.
If you scroll up someone posted his son’s resume. It’s not bad. Not great either. But unc has already shown a willingness to that aspect of the talks evidently.
Sounds like belichick reached out to unc as opposed to unc going after him. If saban reaches out I’m gonna go out on a limb and say unc would be willing to talk
lol no, I'm not, and you are just preaching to the choir again. I have expressed doubts over the hiring of Belichick myself.
And I remind you for the third time, that YOU are the one who said "Any NFL owner of a franchise that is doing bad on the field and/or at the ticket booth that believed that Belichick is all there, that he is still a top level coach, would give him full control." All I did was give you an example of an owner who WOULD NOT give full control to a 'top level' coach. But now you say, "There is no such thing as an NFL owner who is not all over the whole process, all year long." Make up your mind. To quote myself regarding your other most recent self-contradiction...
So I have no idea what it is that I'm supposed to be wrong about on any account, and apparently neither do you. I can't be wrong about something I didn't say.
You know only what somebody with UNC wants you to think/assume. Considering the long history of utter incompetence, whether intentional or just born of stupid people involved, if UNC football HC searches, for decades, any assumption that the UNC search fails because of coaches who just demand too much is silly at best.
Stephen B is the DC at Washington. He has a top 10 defense in several categories.
I would never agree to a guaranteed HC handoff to his son or anyone else, I don't care who it is we're playing footsie with. This doesn't smell very good.
I honestly thought this was a joke but it appears to be real. Why not just promise the great grandchild of Stephen Belchick the head coaching jobs at UNC in 50 years from now. Maybe we can lock in a financial deal now and avoid the inevitable cost of living increase and inflation.
Hard to believe that if bill has all these demands that I’ve seen he will end up here having watched this administration over the years. Come on down Larry….why not.
We should have hired Monken instead of Mack six years ago.
There is still time to right that wrong.

The whole thing is insane. I have said for years that far too many people, including those with Power, evaluate UNC football by seeing it through the lenses of basketball and the NFL, often combined. That is always going to produce repeating stupidity.
If you - whether school or conference - wish to improve your football quality and size of fan base, you study the SEC and BT and their biggest football programs. The less you do as they do, the more you are guaranteed to come up well short.
SEC and BT do not hire NFL retreads and mediocrities as HCs or coordinators. They do not hire geriatrics. They hire tough coaches who demand hard work and who themselves have worked hard to get any hearing. They recognize that coaches producing winning above what was expected - coaches who punch above their weight at previous stops, who made things better they they found them - are more likely to win once they get into a Major conference than are those who had silver spoon jobs. They do not do nepotism.

Like belichick
Belichick
Belichick
And belichick
Okay I’m convinced
Hiring belichick would require a massive investment in money and changes to the structure and organization of unc football program. All for a 72 yr old coach. It seems risky. I get the hesitation. The safe move is to hire one of the other people mentioned who no one knows who the fuk they are and never heard their name before last week to ho hum their way to maybe 8 wins (should he get 10 wins he’s gone next season) doing things the same way that’s produced mediocrity for the last half century. But I for one am tires of safe and tired of mediocrity. Burn the fukker down and rebuild it with arguably the greatest football mind next to bill Walsh. What’s the worse could happen? I’ll tell you, 8 wins and he leaves early leaving unc with state of the art facilities and nfl structured organization. which would be PRECISELY The ceiling for anyone else mentioned.

If his overall health had not prompted him to step away from full-time coaching, Jerry Kill would be the guy that I would hire straightaway. He is a winner and has carried some of his underappreciated magic to Vanderbilt (as a genius behind the scene advisor) and the magic he conjured at New Mexico State. Yep, NMSU...one of the perennial bottom feeders. But I watched him raise that program to unexpected levels of success during the '22 and '23 football season. He has been a winner wherever he has been a coach.
Heck, I would have given him a call...but no one did I'm sure. Who knows, he might have been tempted. Plus, he's got the right accent.
But, overall, this coaching situation is becoming more and more absurd daily. Seems that this much coveted head coaching position is not quite THAT coveted. I am also convinced, like some others, that as an observer of the political scene in NC there is interference by some of the folks, be it in BOG or BOT, who seem to think they know everything and do not hesitate to meddle in the university business inappropriately.

WRAL is reporting an emergency meeting of unc BOT has been called. They also claim such a meeting would have to take place to confirm a new coach hire. Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s belichick. They’ve been talking to a couple other guys I’ve never heard of. The def coord at our mother of misery and assistant to the regional line coach at cal poly institute of weights and measures.
