As many have stated, this arrangement never made sense from the first reports that UNC had interest in Belichick. Unreal to think that the Tarheels either so greatly mismanaged or were truly desperate that they went this route. With that said, I had no idea he'd potentially be gone before the halfway point of the season. Monumental failure for both parties.

I told everyone this is Bill Walsh at Stanford 2.0, but I was wrong. At least Bill had one good year.

It's also kind of weird that Belichick is good friends with Jimmy Johnson. They go fishing together on Jimmy's boat in the Keys. I guess they have mutual respect for each other's career. Who knows.

Welp that O/U 4.5 wins for UNC bet I made is in the shitter. Rest of the 15 teams I had in that win total parlay look like they’d be easy money too. That frickin chump running that program into the ground


What a terrible way to go out for Bill and stain his legacy. Almost embarrassed for the old man but he’s got enough money I shouldn’t be. He got some young trim recently but he’s become a laughingstock for that too. SEC shorts even does a blip on it every week or almost every week

Maybe Jimmie is helping him escape the crazy bitch by giving him a ride to Cuba?

So even though Belichik is exposed as a fraud, does the trim still hang around?

Is it married trim or just girlfriend trim?

If it's just girlfriend trim, then she has a lifestyle decision to make. Stick around - even though her friends will be pointing and laughing, or go back to normal citizenry.

Walsh also had two good years at Stanford that you could point to as evidence he could coach the college game at one point.

By the time he came back, he was a different coach (an “NFL guy”), but it’s not like the Belichick situation where he had zero background here.

There’s a reason you should quit while you’re ahead. This will cement his legacy as an average coach, though good defensive mind, who lucked into having the greatest QB of all time.


He my be the greatest cheater of all time. Not sure he, or Tom (another cheater) ever won a SB in NE without cheating. When I was growing up people shunned cheaters, nowadays they are celebrated as GOATs. And it's not like they are suspected of cheating, they were caught red handed.

This is what happens when you let a 24 year old girl run a Division-1 football program.

This is why I don't understand the Gruden stuff that happens every coaching search. Sure the man is a legend, but what about his career translates to collegiate success?

She is 24. His old arse should have known better. Is this an "end of life" crisis?

Confirming it was always Tom Brady.

He was a good defensive mind, but sucked as a HC without Brady...sucked at UNC.

Legacy definitely damaged...and he'd be awful in the media.

They have not talent and a coach that people hate because he dates a younger girl and not someone around his age.

Like all teams now, if you don't shell out the cash you can't expect the talent. I think we'll see him go as big as they can spend and maybe bring in some talent.

The media are rooting for them to fail because they don't like the coach.

The Cowboys tanked without Jimmy.

Belichik tanked without Tom Brady.

Jimmy now knows who the real coach is.

Seems simple to me: Belichick was a great NFL coach but he's well past his prime and I'm not sure why the UNC administration would have expected him to be a good college football recruiter or an inspirational coach at the college level.

I think it was real when Tennessee jumped on that train back in 2008, right before they hired Kiffin.

Kiffin then bolted for USC, and after Derek Dooley struggled, his name kept coming up during each successive search.

At this point I think he's just a symbolic trope of the ever-elusive Holy Grail hire for any program.

I don't think it's meant to be serious — but I could be wrong.

Would imagine most are relishing the misery from their sanctimonious fans pointing fingers only to find out their cheating was institution wide. Then get away with it because they extended cheating to non-athlete students.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch. Now just hope Hugh Davis provides the exacta death blow to their hoops program.
