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.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
