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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
