You see, that would have made me feel bad and speed dialing my therapist.

His swipe just fell flat. You could reach him a thing or two.

Don't worry, he'll jump off the wagon the the next time UNC loses a game just like he did when Colorado lost to Nebraska in the first game of the season.

He was an atrocious GM and yet still took a Mac Jones QB'd team to the playoffs. The wheels fell off in the third season after Brady left because, well... again, Belichick was a terrible GM and having Brady and a long line of aging ringless vets willing to play on a discount to chase a ring covered for his years of bad drafting.

I get this argument but it’s so much easier to find a good QB in college than it is in the NFL. The Patriots were never in a good position to draft an elite QB under Belichick post Brady. And the fact of the matter is, elite QB’s don’t make it to free agency in the NFL.

Carolina is going to have tons of NIL money to get Belichick the best possible QB and roster.

I’ll go ahead and say it, Belichick will have Carolina competing for an ACC title in his second year.

The bottom line is it’s so much easier for a good coach to succeed at the college level then at the pro level.

To add to that, the Patriots defense were the real MVP in most of their superbowl wins. Everyone talks about Brady and the 3-28 comeback, but the defensive adjustments were special. He might be the best defensive architect and coach in the history of the NFL. Brady would not have those superbowl wins without that defense.

I really want to see this defense get a lot better. Our complete inability to stop stop the run paired with an unbelievable ability to blow coverages and have receivers streaking wide ass open down the field is just infuriating. We had elite offenses during the Howell and Maye years and we could've really made some noise if we just had a serviceable defense.

I can barely remember when we last had a good defense, maybe back in the days of Ryan Sims… So I’m hopeful Bill will finally get that right

Those would be the days of Julius Peppers. Peppers carried Sims and that became evident in the NFL. Don't get me wrong, he was a very good college player but he was a mid-round pick talent who looked like a top 10 picks with the opposing OL having to account for #49.

The frustrating thing to me is that our D has often looked pretty decent for a game or two but ultimately the wheels just fall off and when they fall off they fall the fug OFF. Once the struggles start they just don't stop and we start getting absolutely gashed week in and week out.

Has any super bowl winning coach ever went back to college coaching?

I know Harbaugh and George Allen went to the Superbowl as head coaches, but neither of them won the SB.  

Bill Walsh went back to Stanford after the 49ers. They had one good season then two bad ones and he was done.

The defense was actually pretty dang good under Butch Davis, the problem was the offense. If you put Drake Maye on that 2009 team instead of Bryn Renner then you’ve got a top 10 team. But Quinn, Coples, Austin, Sturdivant, Brown, Carter, Thomas, Wilson, Reddick, and Searcy all spent time in the NFL.

Hell, in the 26 games from 2008 to 2009, UNC allowed 30+ points only 3 times.
