OT - Belichick to coach UNC!
- Thread starter Al Bino
- Start date
Bizarre career move for a 72 year-old man. Not sure why he'd want to enter this complex new world of the portal, NIL money, etc. No callers from the NFL?WTH, he is bored already or does he need the money??!!

Well he does have a 24 year-old girlfriend who's recovering from an injury.

Bill Belichick's Girlfriend Jordon Hudson Says She Needed Stitches After DoorDash Delivery Had Broken Glass
Bill Belichick's girlfriend Jordon Hudson slammed the food delivery app DoorDash after claiming her driver left a broken glass bottle on her doorstep.
I doubt this goes well. This job is so different from the NFL… has to recruit and it’s probably a different skill set needed to work with college kids who still need to learn the basics.
I’m glad it’s happening though, very interesting.

That was my initial thought as well; however, maybe recruiting is much easier in this NIL era. It almost feels comparable to recruiting free agents in the NFL. Its primarily about the money available and can we win championships. The only other element is wanting to go pro and you won't find a better coach in college that could make that happen.
I wouldn't underestimate his level of preparedness. He has a 400 page organizational plan and a staff assembled. He will focus on coaching and delegate all of the other roles. Part of the appeal is to set up his son to succeed him.
I think it is strange. It probably won’t end well for UNC. He could work on TV and make a lot of money. But if he has the drive and desire at his age then great for him.WTH, he is bored already or does he need the money??!!

The nepotism factor here is enormous. It was seemingly a deciding factor that he got his son a succession plan included. No matter what it will be super interesting to watch this all unfold.
There's a long interesting article about it on the front page at ESPN.com.
The gist: he wants to keep coaching, and he's tired of middle management goofballs who act like they know what it takes to win in the NFL despite never coming close to proving it. So he is sick of begging for a job in the NFL, where these middle management donkeys scuttle his candidacy because he threatens them.
My take: with NIL and a hard cap on revenue sharing for players, the NCAA is about to be A LOT more like the NFL. So, coaching in college isn't as different as it used to be. But, he's also about to meet a bunch of middle management goofballs who think they know what it takes to win in the NCAA even though they've never proven it. At the college level, we call them boosters and NIL collectives.
I doubt there are many college coaches that would exceed his coaching acumen, but if he doesn't get Jimmys and Joes it won't matter.

Exactly. No callers from the NFL. I wonder if his ol buddy Bobby Kraft black balled him?
Isn't there a guarantee in his deal that his son Steve is the Head Coach in waiting? His deal is only signed for 3 years.
Middle managers probably are at least able to run some statistics and show him that as both general manager and coach, he sucks. Well, sucks as general manager, still great coach.
I'd have no clue what the middle managers do or say. As a human, I'd say he's a cheater, but I dunno if that means he sucks. 8 super bowls tend to suggest he has some clue.
Oh, I was under the impression he only gained GM control well into Brady's career. And they seemed to be a bit down on talent by the time Brady left, then stayed down on talent.
But as that looks wrong and he was GM the entire time, then seems like he was good at both, at least for much of his run there. But maybe he lost it even before Brady left.
Yeah, he was also good at cheating most of the time he was there. It's funny how the article mentions spygate and deflategate, but it never seems to occur to the writer that teams might not want to hire the guy that cheated to beat them for years.
I played golf with a guy like that a couple times, and decided to quit playing with him. Win or lose, doesn't really matter. We don't play the same game.
