This. Total boom or bust hire. I can't see any gray area. He's either going to turn UNC into powerhouse or it's gonna be a total clown show.

I don't think he's gonna stick around more than a couple years. It's an understandable gamble by UNC's brass. But despite our resident bandwagoner literally choking himself on the kool-aid, it's definitely not an immediate ticket to a conference championship.

If we're 13-11 after Belichick's first two season with zero wins over ranked teams this is going to be a massive disappointment.

Tom Brady ain't walkin' through that door.

It hurts you UNC is now the talk of the Carolina's lol

 

You had your run. It's our time now.

I’ve literally been begging and wishing for years for someone else to be relevant in the ACC boss.  As along as Clemson is in the ACC, I want other good teams. 

but I’m still going to side with Brady, Gronk and what 90% of UNC fans would have said about this move before it actually happened.

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

Evidently we've committed to maxing out the NIL allowance. We only spent $4M this year.

He's already recognized as the best HC of all time. 

 

WTF is 14 wins gonna prove. Not like he has a lot of time left to enjoy it.

That would mean none for basketball if my understanding of the new agreement is correct.  Schools get a max that has to allocated amongst all sports. 
 

Mack probably pissed lol

It's possible. Hubert isn't a big fan of NIL. Going all in on Belichick probably bought him a year or two because honestly his seat should be blistering.

It’s 20.5 million per school from the school.  Schools are allowed to pay players now and that is the cap from the school itself.  This excludes and 3rd party’s pacs…like politics.  Unless I’m understanding it wrong

they need a real salary cap or this is just really ugly really quick with NIL.  I hate to say it but todays college football needs to be run like the NFL to put teams on a even playing field when it comes to money
