Possible and honestly, what better pitch to four and five star recruits (and maybe even more so to portal kids) whose ultimate goal is to play on Sundays? A lot of those kids just see the college game as a necessary pit stop on their way to the actual destination.

True, but what I got out of the clip of the interview was Bill wanted to be seen like a Bama, but not just sending blue chip guys to the League, but damn near finished products.

How that mentality is going to go over with Gen Z kids will remain to be seen. I can't see Bill patting guys on the back and hugging it out after their feelings have been hurt.  I have sneaking suspicion he's going to Bobby Knight himself sooner rather than later.

13-11 with no wins over ranked teams would be a step back from Mack is what I'm saying.

Wait until y'all don't have Ward next year. Hope your defense isn't still UNC level or you'll be .500

 

His record pre and post Brady is startling. I don't think he's a good hire, especially at 72.

It's interesting to say the least. Likely a marketing move by UNC to boost their image for next conference.

Can Bill help them beat the Wolfpack?

I really can’t believe this happened, but what a development for Carolina football.

Who knows if it’ll work out but it certainly brings some excitement to the program.

I feel like it’s going to be a disaster for Carolina but one thing for sure, I think he has the star power of Deion and will bring in recruits, in fact I wouldn’t be surprised if the success Deion is having lead to this hire

[LinvilleGorge]

Belichick and Deion couldn't be more opposite. One is no nonsense life is ball, the other is all flash and bravado. I don't know if this is going to work out or not but if we can get the players I have no concerns about the coaching.

They’re are definitely different, personality wise. But they both bring star power to the recruitment table. But BB has the advantage in the coaching area. Albeit not with teens.

I just honestly have no clue how Belichick will translate to recruiting. I can see that situation playing out either way. Everything about this hire is boom or bust IMO. We're about to become a powerhouse or a clown show. Can't really see much room for gray area in between. This is either really gonna work or really spectacularly flop.
