All of college football is coming for Bill Belichick
Of all the people thrilled that Bill Belichick and UNC flamed out so spectacularly Monday night — other ACC programs, Jets fans, Robert Kraft (probably) — no crew went harder at Belichick’s neck than TCU’s social media. Deploying an array of memes, quote-tweets and one-shot jabs, TCU’s social media crew carved up Belichick, Carolina and anyone who dared to shower love on the Tar Heels prior to 8:12 p.m. Eastern:
Belichick’s well-honed and familiar crabby routines — no names on the depth chart, a perma-scowl on the sideline, grumpiness at the postgame podium — seem more than a little cringeworthy in the world of college football. What worked so well in the NFL comes off now as out-of-place and dated . . .
. . . the pushback against Belichick is, consciously or unconsciously, a pushback against the creeping professionalization of college football.
The Belichick-inspired hype . . . was understandable, but it still rubs college football lifers the wrong way. And that means they’ll gleefully rub Belichick’s nose in his failures for as long as they can.
Bill Belichick rolled into Chapel Hill looking to impose some NFL-level discipline on college football. On Monday night, though, college football reminded Belichick and anyone else who would professionalize this game: You can’t control a sport built on chaos. You either ride the whirlwind or you get blown away.

2 more games, then Jordan gives him the hook

I never thought this was a good hire. Now it’s just looks worse.

North Carolina has always been meh and he's never done anything without Tom Brady.
Oh and he's in his 70's. Bad combo.

Someone pointed out that Belichick’s girlfriend is the same age as his QB2.
Do with that what you will.

tarhoofs showed up more than they have in years last night - with picnic baskets and Kirkland box wine - expecting a football game and ended up witnesses to murder -

5 year $50M contract with with the first 3 years guaranteed money so I doubt they fire him anytime soon.

He will improve slightly through the season to end up 7-5. Everyone will rejoice that he just needed time and the team is improving and next year will be lights out.
Next year he goes 4-8 and gets fired.

The fact UNC signed a contract with Hulu to air this train wreck is pure comedy

That’s disgusting. What were they thinking? He’s too old to be coaching. He’s not a recruiter and his coaching skills have rusted.

I’ve been away from following college sports since bowl season last year. I’ve learned to enjoy the games and not get tied up in the Chaos.
When I heard UNC hired Bill, I literally spit my bourbon out. I was shocked and blown away. Bill has never won without Brady. The dude is 70 and chasing college aged tail. This is Curly Hallman on Steroids and a growth hormone stack. At least Curly was only making like 400-500K per year.
Before Bill gets canned, the idiot who hired him should be canned first! Why would you guarantee a retired 70 year old coach 10M per year. What an idiot!
