Well written article. This crap about Belichick only won because of Brady is just wrong. I watched him destroy McVay's offense and Goff QB in a Super Bowl. He had the hottest offensive mind and hottest offense totally confused. The final score was 13-3. on another note, watch the video about him talking about long snappers. The guy thinks football 24/7. We will se how he does but smarts are worth a lot and he has them.
 
HILARIOUS take on his being hired by the Heels from the Babylon Bee. And for those who live in a different universe, the Babylon Bee is SATIRE

Bill Belichick Agrees To UNC Job On Condition He Can Live In Girlfriend’s Dorm

CHAPEL HILL, NC — The Tar Heels athletic department was on the brink of pulling off a huge coup this week, as legendary NFL coach Bill Belichick reportedly agreed to take the University of North Carolina head coaching position on the condition that he can live in his girlfriend's dorm.
The coach who led the New England Patriots to six Super Bowl championships had been in discussions with UNC leadership about the possibility of taking over the school's football program, with the only remaining detail left to be ironed out having to do with whether he would be allowed to share his girlfriend's dorm room.
"We're working on accommodating Coach Belichick and the young woman we mistakenly thought was his grand-daughter," said UNC Athletic Director Bubba Cunningham. "We are more than willing to do whatever it takes to bring in such a legendary football coach. If that means granting his girlfriend a full-ride scholarship and allowing them to live together in her dorm, then so be it. We are also prepared to offer her cotton candy, roller skates, and anything else a young lady her age might want."
At publishing time, UNC officials had reportedly sweetened the deal by informing Belichick that he and his girlfriend could both eat near campus for low prices by combining her student discount with an early bird senior citizen meal.

It's really hard to win consistently in the NFL, and much harder than in college football over the last quarter century. Saban's a great coach but also had an advantage in Alabama bag man machine. Blue blood programs will start to equalize with other programs who are willing to play the game. The talent is getting spread out more equally now, so you better have a coach who can game plan, manage the clock, identify and develop talent, etc. I believe CPJ would have thrived in this era by him spending more money on defensive lineman and other defensive positions or special teams, and less on QBs and other skill positions. I really wish we had a triple option package for short yardage situations.
 
It will redefine recruiting in the college ranks. This, just like the NIL and the portal are doing, will bring a whole new game to college recruiting.

Belichick has said he will be a direct line to the NFL. Bringing in Lombardi affirms that.

I'd compare it to when Saban came back to college coaching after being in the NFL for a few years. Saban took the pro coaching/analyst staff model to college and now multiple college coaches emulate his programs successfully.

UNC will be the ultimate "football factory".

It will be interesting to see how this affects the ACC and all of college football in the next 2 or 3 years.

Don't get me wrong. In fact, I agree with you 100%. Bill is one of the best NFL coaches ever. Brady was almost never the best QB in the NFL in any given year, but they were the best team more times than not for over a decade.

My reasoning is that I just can't envision Bill doing the everyday, mundane, grindy tasks that are required of a head coach in college. I also view the college game as one that is much more collaborative and requires a lot of cooperation with the rest of the AA, the school, high school coaches, faculty members, etc. What I've seen from Bill in the past few years has me believing he might struggle with that part of the job.

Regardless of any opinion, I think everyone has to admit it's the most intriguing college coaching hire since Deion.

Freddie Kitchens played QB at Alabama when I was growing up. My Dad took the whole family to Tampa to watch Bama play Michigan in the Outback Bowl after the 1997 season. We were lucky enough to stay at the same hotel as the coaches and players, so I got a lot of autographs, including Kitchens'. He was a super tough player. I was disappointed that he flopped in his brief stint as a HC in the NFL.

Another interesting note - One of the other autographs I got during that bowl trip was from the WR/TE coach.... a young Dabo Swinney.

There was some documentary thing on the Patriots on NFL Network one night and it was during either camp or OTAs. The Patriots are out on the field and Belichick is quizzing his assistants on certain football strategy, specifically, would you rather have time and no timeouts or less time and all your timeouts.
They mostly said the former.
He said he preferred the latter.

If he brings Ernie Adams with him, look out. Ernie was his secret weapon when it came to breaking down film.
 
Who else wants video of Belichick calling to Clown, "Mr. Collins, I need to see you in my office."
And then two minutes later, Clown leaving and calling his agent.

You know dude's toast. Ain't no way Hoodie is keeping Clown.

I don't think NFL teams have Juice Crew coordinators, though. He may have no choice but to keep Clown.

On the surface, this is a bizarre hire to me. BB has zero personality at best and is just a grumpy, cantankerous asshole at worse. He has a 5 year contract with lots of outs and is only guaranteed 3 years and he's 72 years old.

I have a hard time envisioning many 4 or 5 star players being excited to go into this situation and play for this guy.

In theory, at least, the allure would be the Super Bowl titles, which makes sense given how many players likely go into their collegiate career fully expecting that they are on the path to the NFL, enamored with the stardom only to realize that very few actually do.

Have you ever seen him interact with Ochocinco, who Belichick loves, by the way?
Pats were about to play a team Ochocinco played on, and Belichick spent most of the presser talking about how little they were concerned with Ochocinco, that he wasn't a threat ... and then cracked a big smile. Because those who knew knew Belichick raved about him away from the cameras. It was his way of poking Ochocinco.
There is a very different side of Belichick, especially if you get him talking about the history of football.
And if you get him talking about Lawrence Taylor.
I mean, O'Leary was about as approachable as a porcupine with shingles.
