Very likely. But, years of Heels and Panthers fandom has taught me to hope for the best while fully expecting the worst so..

I'm stunned. This is the type of stuff we usually mock state fans for. Expecting to hire some massive name like Bill Cowherd or something. Bill fuging Belichick is coming to Chapel Hill... you have got to be fuging kidding me. This is fuging WILD.

NIL and the transfer portal brings a new paradigm.  Name recognition bears more weight than traditional recruiting chops.  This kind of has Charlie Weis to Notre Dame vibes on it for me, but I understand why they're doing it.

Money, playing time, winning, being happy.  Shuffle the order a little based on each kid.  I don't think most kids give a rip how well known the HC is.  

I just don't see Bill being born again.  I think he runs a miserable program where they will try to win ugly.  A less fun Harbaugh/Michigan type situation is what kids would be walking into....but in the ACC.

Players will transfer to play for BB just like they transferred to play for Sanders last season.  Whether it works out is another thing entirely.  But there will be players interested in playing for UNC that previously would not have considered it.

true.  You might get a couple names in the door off of his name.  Can you keep highly paid kids at UNC given what that would actually looks like.  That's what I doubt.   Which IMO is why all his former players are laughing at the situation.   The environment Bill creates doesn't mesh with today's college football.  

Only thing Bill got in common w/ the Deion situation is name recognition.  Sanders at least brings a lot of things that do jive w/ today's college football.  It's a fun reality TV show.

I have absolutely not the slightest clue how this will ultimately work out but holy fuging poo... WOW

 

 

Congrats on the hire. Pretty awesome.

I completely agree, but I think that's why they opted for more of a "celebrity" hire instead of someone actually qualified for the position.

Man just pick a side. One moment you're against this hiring. Next moment you're excited for this hire.

 

If you scared go to church!

It's almost like reasonably intelligent people understand that the world is completely black and white. You'd think that looking like a moron constantly would teach you that. Remember when you do w off the CU bandwagon when they lost to Nebraska week one?

well, Tom Brady did actually use the word frightening to describe Bill in college football.  His context and usage was obviously different.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.
