Belichick agrees to coach UNC with stipulations

Excuse me? That's Mahomey

I don't know what this tweet has to do with anything but OK!

Sorry, got the correct tweet in

O.city quick with the edit but not quick enough!!

Bills fans wanted to hire him LMAO

I honestly hope he does really good. But this is a wild decision to leap into the NIL era.

Any employee that gives me a 400 page bible will not be working for me.

Very strange move by Belichick.

Coaching at a school where basketball will always be #1, and a program that hasn’t shown much capacity to spend big in NIL.

Bet that book sold on ebay for $99.95

LOL, this is all about getting his son a HC job.

400 pages? Pass.

It’s about power. He will have complete power in college. NFL is down with his bullshit

Take job
Make son assistant head coach
Fake heart attack
Profit

It is actually an interesting decision

A school of this caliber will give him full control
Colleges look the other way when you break rules

But most of all… bellichick was still a great coach at New England toward the end but I don’t think he’ll ever run a legit offense without Brady. Nor will he find a qb better than jimmy garropalo. He can win in college without a good qb or one where you can hide all their weaknesses

How many coeds are in these stipulations???

I clearly don't have the obsession with work as guys like him. You're 72, Bill. You've got more money than 99.9% of the country. Retire. Relax.

I can't imagine suddenly having to deal with a bunch of college kids for a living at that age.

The wording on this is really weird. This sounds like negotiations. He hasn't agreed to anything really. He's told them what he wants to coach there and they get to respond. But it's set up and worded in a way that makes UNC look like the bad guy if they say no.

uncsa is one of the top filmmaking schools in the world. the teachers are well-educated and care about their students. the education is hands on and practical.

Right up Bll's alley...

Guess he didn't want the nfl wins record.

Told you.

The guy sees the chance to end his career as the emperor of a football program.

See? Emperor, with all the nepotism that comes with it.

TLDR

It's not a typical employee. You're hiring a chief executive. You want to see their plan.

There are helicopter parents and then there are parents who write 400 pages of requirements that will make their kid successful at a job they're demanding to be required later.

My guess is college chicks

Going to have his gf pick up more chicks.for the parties.

I can't imagine dealing with 100 college kids at OUR age. Especially entitled coddled ones.

If I'm hiring a CEO I want to see a strategic plan. That's like 20. 400 pages is tactics, which is for the management team.

400 pages to your boss is just being an asshole.

Guarantee he had help writing that

Wonder what a Jabba the hut translator goes for these days

Holy shit lmao, I bet UNC does this.

The book is actually just a 400 page wish list of the co-eds from UNC he's going to bang.

If I had Belicheck $$, there's no chance I'd be working...

It's an interesting one but I kind of get it. My father retired early in his mid fifties and has no real hobbies outside of going to sporting events and going to fancy dinners at London clubs with a large group of people from his profession. Despite being comparatively well off, he's pretty miserable and he definitely misses his previous life in work. Perhaps Bill is the same.

This will end well

He just wants to be around all the 20 year old poon.

Hopefully his fraud ass can recruit Tom Brady or else he's going to flop.

Especially to just go out and prove he really isn't that good of a coach.

Wonder if ahole old Gm will be part of this plan?

Better pick up your wrappers

Bet its a disaster.

Bill had to go somewhere where his wife would fit in perfectly with the crowds age.

This. My only goal if I were him would be to see how many of the world’s golf courses, restaurants, and beaches I could cross off the list before I croaked.

Shit yeah. Not like there are any P Diddy Parties to go to

Probably why you don't have belichick money...

It’s funny how this man and Brady, who I’ve despised for so many years (and still do, and everything bad they brought to football and their entitled sports market)… I almost have a soft spot for him now because he seems to be one of the biggest supporters of the chiefs outside of our market. And he’s one of the few that actually understands what it’s like to be Goliath and all the noise from critics that come with it.

But still… **** that guy

I'll believe it when I see it.

Wife? I thought he was just keeping her for fun.

UNC has come to an agreement with Belichick

Bill going to UNC is kinda like when Andy Kauffman entered pro wrestling but would only fight women.

The intergender champion

"So, when this ultimately blows up in everyone's faces, and it will, you then are contractually obligated to hire my son."

Eric Mangini doesn't think this is going to work either.

And they'll pay the price when the roosters come home to crow. See Arizona State and Herman Edwards.

That one went, predictably, well.

LMAO

And his son gets the job after him? What an asshat. People bitch about Bronny and this is no better. That's privilege

Yeah I never would have bet on this in a million years. But it might be why he couldn't get an NFL job. Looks like he wanted total control more than anything else. NFL teams don't really do that much anymore. And I'd bet there are bigger college programs than UNC that would be interested in him if he wanted to coach college. But this was the program that would give him total control.

Do college programs usually have general managers? I always thought it was the AD and the coach.

Many do now with NIL/transfer portal free agency.

That makes sense. It also seems kinda wrong. But hey, money!

It’s basically professional football now… now without trying to hide it.

I think the NIL era is going to help Bill over traditional recruiting IMO. Players will line up to play for a legend, so just like they did for Saban at Alabama, Bill should benefit. And if these players know anything about those two men, then Bill will definitely benefit.

Just nail recruiting in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, & Florida and get those NIL lottery tickets.

Having to deal with boosters/alumni/donors, more restrictions on practice time compared to the NFL, and college players having the power to transfer every year are going to be his biggest adjustments to the college game.

Maybe his wish list was 400 pages of "Gimme money. Gimme money" over and over again. LOL

I'm sure he's spent plenty of time with Nick in learning the nuances. I don't see him doing it for too many years though, long enough to establish a baseline and let his son take the reigns.

Luckiest coach in NFL history. Gets Tom Brady in the 6th rd and does absolutely **** all without him.

I wish the football God’s would have bless Marty with such luck. God knows he deserved it.

apparently his first words as coach are "beat duke" I would have used a different word but the sentiment is right

Absolutely.

Also had the one of the greatest who took well below the average salary for great qbs during his time

He'll either do well and get UNC to some bowl games because kids will want to play for him or it will be like Charlie Weis at KU

It will be interesting to see how much of the negative connotations of the “Patriots Way” culture… i.e. draconian/no fun/old school… will be used as a negative recruiting strategy against Belichick.

That was the genius of Saban… taking that type of culture and molding it in a way that worked and appealed to 18-22 year olds.

Meh. Bill accepted the NYJ job then resigned before ever coaching a game, right? Like I said, I'll believe it when I see it.

I'm thinking smart top talent will want to play for him.

UNC’s schedule next season looks comparable to all of those years of playing shitty AFC Least teams during Belichick’s peak dynasty seasons with the Patriots.

Not exactly a gauntlet.

End of an era for the biggest cheater in NFL history. The guy, along with his buddy Ernie Adams, screwed many teams with spygate. And then Bill pretended that he thought it was legal. The problem was he had all his cameramen dress up in "Kraft Productions" outfits to avoid detection.

He will now NEVER beat Shula for most wins, and Andy will surpass him soon enough.

My opinion is that Bill doesn't need to beat Shula in wins to have what might be a more impressive resume. 6x SB Champ as HC and 2x SB Champ as DC > 2 x SB Champ. 9x SB Appearances as HC (12 total) > 6 x SB Appearances as HC. While Shula has the edge on Regular season wins and Regular season winning percentage, Bill blows him away in the Post-season. Either way, both are legendary coaches and both have records in the NFL annals that may never be broken.

Clearly, he pushed the envelope too far (and honestly I think it was a much larger league-wide pandemic and they got caught) but he never did something as inglorious as Sean Payton.
